If you are having suicidal thoughts, remember: the most important thing is to continue to resist any impulse to act on these feelings. You don’t have to be alone! There are many resources available to you. For example, Suicide Prevention has a 24-hour toll-free hotline.

Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255)

See this and other resources.

If a family member, friend, or colleague has expressed suicidal thoughts or feelings – take it seriously. Suicide is often attempted “spur of the moment” and the person may not have a premeditated plan or time.

If you’re concerned about your safety or that of another, Call me.
