SUICIDE
How do i deal with suicidal thoughts?
If you can no longer see why you should go on living, your feelings can seem unbearable. You may hate yourself and believe that you are useless and not wanted or needed by anyone. You may feel rage, shame and guilt.
If you have had many painful experiences, particularly losses, you may blame yourself and feel that somehow it is all your fault and that you are a failure. You may feel overwhelmed; for example, by conflicts with family or friends. You may feel stuck in emotional pain and believe that there are no solutions to your problems.
If you feel powerless and that you can’t change your situation and what is distressing you, the idea of suicide may give you a sense of being in control again. Depending on your beliefs, you could see ‘nothingness’, being reunited with loved ones or reincarnation as a relief and your preferred option.
You may not actually know why you feel suicidal, and think that you have no reason to want to kill yourself. Because of this, you may feel deeply guilty and ashamed, and start feeling even worse.

If you don’t know the reasons why you feel suicidal, you may find it hard to believe that there could be a solution. You may start to think that death is your only option. Whether you are aware of a cause or not, it can be difficult to tell others about what you are going through. Therefore you may avoid other people and feel annoyed if they approach you. If you have family and friends around, you may find it impossible to tell them how bad you feel.
Suicidal feelings can be terrifying.
People kept telling me that I should be grateful because I had a lovely husband, a nice house, and two perfect children. This just made me feel more terrible and guilty for thinking about killing myself.
"Destroy what destroys you"
They say, bu they get annoyed when you destroy yourself.

SUICIDE VICTIMS ARE NOT "WEAK", "SELFISH", OR "COWARDS".
cWe are simply people who are going through tough periods. We feel our life is worthless and that we would be doing society a favour by giving up. You have no right to comment on what you believe is going on in somes=ones life. It is te 21st century, people are exposed to all sorts of horrid extremeties.
Spread love & awareness, not stigma.
We hope this helped x
