Feeling Suicidal?

If you are feeling suicidal, you need immediate help! Online counseling is not appropriate in this situation.

"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem". I’m not sure who said this, but I’ve always found this simple statement to be very true. Unfortunately, when you’re in so much psychological pain that you feel suicidal, you are temporarily unable to think rationally.

The most important thing you need to do is to protect yourself from harm. Suicide is not something to be considered impulsively. Find someone NOW to talk it over with – someone who can provide support and a rational perspective during this time of crisis.

Some other things you might consider doing:

Go the emergency room of the hospital closest to you.
Call 1-800-SUICIDE, the National Hopeline Network's suicide hotline, and you will be connected to your local area's suicide hotline number.
If you feel that you can wait 24 hours, send an email to jo@samaritans.org. You will receive a reply within 24 hours. The Samaritans is a non-profit suicide-prevention organization based in the United Kingdom. Their website is www.samaritans.org.
