Feeling suicidal
1 2 next steps
Helping a friend
If someone you know tells you that they are thinking about harming themselves, take it seriously. Don't laugh or tell them to shut up, stop acting stupid, or to snap out of it. Let them talk about the problem, and try not to judge them. Be kind, stay calm and get them medical attention as soon as you can. Sometimes, offering to go with them to a doctor's appointment will help them pluck up the courage to do so. It might be a false alarm, but it's better to be on the safe side.
