Most people experience suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives, but when the feelings become overwhelming and linger, it can be difficult to figure out how to overcome suicidal thoughts. The good news? When you focus on positive changes and seek help from family and friends, you can take back your life from these dark feelings. When you’re ready to learn more about how to overcome suicidal thoughts, check out these helpful tips and strategies.

What should you do if you are experiencing suicidal thoughts?

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, there are a few steps you can take to help yourself feel better. Firstly, it is important that you know that these thoughts are not your fault. It is important to remember that these feelings will pass, and that there are many others who have felt the same way before. One way to remind yourself of this is by reading about other people’s experiences in the media or online, or through talking with someone who has been in a similar situation. If possible, it may also be helpful to talk with someone close about how you are feeling so they can listen and offer support.

How To Beat The Voice In Your Head

The voice in your head is a liar. It tells you that everything is hopeless, that you’re not good enough, and that there’s nothing to live for. It tries to fill your head with lies and convince you that nobody would care if you were gone. But it’s a liar. It doesn’t know who you are or what’s made the life worth living up until this point. When it tells you these things, just know they’re not true. You’re never alone. There’s always someone who cares about you. You can reach out to them for help at any time of day or night, and somebody will be there for you when you need them most.

Is There Anything Else I Can Do?

If you are feeling suicidal, the most important thing is to tell someone. If you have a friend or family member that can help, we recommend telling them what you’re going through and asking for their support. Be as specific as possible about how they can help. Tell them if it would be helpful to call your therapist, stay with you in your home, or go to the ER with you. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 offers free, confidential help 24 hours a day by phone or chat. You can also text HOME to 741741 when you need someone to talk to who will offer non-judgmental support.

What Are The Long-Term Effects Of Suicide?

Suicide has long-term effects that can be just as damaging as short-term ones. Post-traumatic stress disorder is common among survivors of suicide, and those who have attempted suicide are more likely to attempt it again. For these reasons, it’s important to get help when you’re feeling suicidal in order to prevent any potential consequences. If you feel like your life is not worth living, or if you feel trapped in a hopeless situation, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. They provide free counseling and mental health care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for people all over the world.

Preventing Future Suicide Attempts

After a suicide attempt, it’s important to take immediate steps to prevent future attempts. These include reducing access to lethal means, increasing social support, and improving coping skills. Sometimes medication is helpful as well. If someone you know has attempted suicide, they may need your help to get professional care. Encourage them to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text HOME to 741741 for free crisis counseling via the Crisis Text Line (available 24/7).
