So many people struggle everyday with suicidal thoughts. Not everyone makes it to the other side. Just because someone seems happy and always doesn’t mean they’re not struggling. What do you when someone you know is struggling? Here are some tips on being proactive
1. Listen Without Judgment
• Let them talk openly about what they’re feeling.
• Avoid cutting them off or minimizing their pain (“It’s not that bad”).
• Simple phrases like “I’m here with you” or “Your life matters” can mean a lot.
⸻
2. Take Them Seriously
• Don’t assume they’re “just talking.”
• If they’ve mentioned a plan, method, or timeline, this is an emergency.
⸻
3. Encourage Professional Help
• Suggest reaching out to a counselor, therapist, doctor, or support group.
• You could say: “You don’t have to go through this alone. Would you like me to help you find someone to talk to?”
⸻
4. Remove Immediate Dangers
• If possible, help limit access to harmful items (medications, weapons).
