People who have suicidal thoughts often feel as if they’re at a hopeless point in their lives where suicide is the only way to deal with what they’re experiencing. It is so important that everyone knows there is ALWAYS another option, these thoughts will pass, and talking to someone you trust can help them to clear more quickly.
