People who think about su***de don't want to die; they want to change the life they have.

Since September is Su***de Prevention month, we decided to break the taboo and talk about the myths concerning su***de:

Myth #1: You have to be mentally ill to think about su***de.
Myth #2: People who talk about su***de aren’t serious and won’t go through with it.
Myth #3: Once a person has made a serious su***de attempt, that person is unlikely to make another.
Myth #4: If a person is serious about killing themselves then there is nothing you can do.
Myth #5: Talking about su***de is a bad idea as it may give someone the idea to try it.
Myth #6: Most su***des happen in the winter months.
Myth #7: People who threaten su***de are just attention seeking and shouldn’t be taken seriously.
Myth #8: People who are suicidal want to die.

Not everyone who thinks about su***de will tell someone and there are some people who give no indication at all of their intention.
However, there are warning signs that we can all look out for. These include, if a person is:
1- Talking or writing about death, dying or su***de.
2- Actively looking for ways to kill themselves.
3- Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live.
4- Talking about being a burden to others.
5- Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain.
6- Increasing the use of alcohol or drugs.
7- Suddenly very much ‘recovered’ after a period of depression.
8- Visiting or calling people unexpectedly to say goodbye either directly or indirectly.
9- Making arrangements; setting their affairs in order.
10-Giving things away, such as prized possession

Su***des concern all of us, because we can all do things to help create a su***de-safer community. We can start by being alert to the warning signs, by recognizing and understanding the pain someone is going through, being direct about communicating concerns and ask for professional help.

Remember that one conversation can mean the difference between life and death.

Because our ... Save a life, choose to live NOW
