WHAT ARE THEY FEELING?
"You may not think so, but "many people have thought about suicide, but most will never make an attempt. Those that do make attempts may frequently focus on resolved life problems. This can offer clues to their desperation. They may focus on unstoppable pain and say how there is no way out. They may not be to able to sleep, eat, or work. They may experience profound depression and the inability to make sadness go away. They may not see themselves as worthwhile or valuable."
WHO'S AT RISK?
"Those at greatest risk of suicide have often experienced a disruptive life event such as the following, for example."
~Loss of a loved one.
~Divorce, separation, (broken relationship)
~Loss of child custody
~Serious accident.
~Sexual violence: Rape, sexual abuse
~Verbal, emotional, physical abuse
~Assault, kidnapping
~Chronic or terminal illness
~A negative outlook on life. (Things won't or can't get better)
~Alcohol or drug abuse
~A victim of bullying
If you know of someone who is or has been experiencing some of these symptoms,
Don't ignore this. Treat it as urgent and get help!
