Remember what usually works for you when you have suicidal thoughts. Everyone has their own way of managing these thoughts. A common strategy is to provide a temporary distraction from what you are thinking and feeling now. Try to think of a way of coping that has worked in the past. Try it now.
Reach out and talk to someone about how you are feeling. Is there someone you feel safe and comfortable talking to? If you are finding it difficult to open up about how you feel, ask them “How are you doing?” Let them know that you do not feel the same way. It may help start the conversation. You can also always reach out to TELL. We are here to listen to and support you.
