What to do if someone is feeling suicidal?
This maybe you or one person or more.
Is the person in danger?
Ask the person how they are coping with their lives and what is happening in their life?
Ask they ever want to give up?
Don't ask if they want to die.
Ask if they have felt like this before.
Ask if they have had these thoughts before.
Make sure they have no means of self-harm remove weapons and dangerous objects.
Let the person talk alone with you if they wish.
Allow the person time to talk about the situation.
Talk about privacy rules such as you won't tell anyone what
they said but if they you are concerned about their, you may have to tell a mental health service.
How concerning Mental health and Mental - ill health is?
Everyone understands that the Mental health and mental ill-health
field like all careers isn't going to be for everyone. However, we cannot raise enough awareness
and yet I have been raising awareness of disability, mental health, and other problems on and off since 2007,
sorry but I can never stress enough how important and Serious
Mental ill-health and Mental health can be, which is in main cases in the workplace and socially.
Most may be facing Mental - ill health and not aware they might be,
not meaning to scare anyone but it can be a silent killer, and not all
people know how to speak about Mental health. Not all Mental health conditions are visual,
it can have a huge impact on peoples' lives. Even if you know a person or
people who face Mental health, would you know where to find help if you cannot, etc?
The most serious part of Mental ill-health of all and even these
days many people are afraid to talk about it in case they get misunderstood
as selfish and they are not, etc, which is not what a person means to sound like,
and that is feeling sundial.
Sorry to sound harsh if I do, but when people feel this way for whatever reason or maybe no reason at all,
which I know it's hard to understand other than
the person is naturally suffering inside themselves, even if
anything the person themselves struggles to understand why?
It is the hardest thing to talk about because of fearing upsetting others around you,
which yes this is what happens, but also others need to learn to understand
the person is feeling bad inside themselves whether there's a reason or not.
How can we help them to not feel this way? We all know it doesn't always
work for everyone but we need to know we can make things easy for
people so others can understand them best as possible.
That means no judgment, no sigma. They are not selfish they just want to end their pain.
Feeling suicidal and ending it all are two different things,
but most people won't talk in fear of what others may say and think about them.
Telling someone that if they were going to do it, they wouldn't
talk about is the wrong attitude because it is possible they will do either
or maybe even think about it for a long time or years, even if it doesn't happen.
In most people even they tell things they may not tell everything.
Don't get me wrong when I say this, the idea of writing this post
is to want as many to speak up and stay alive as long as possible, and
losing people is not my intentions but it is possible for people to
feel and fear to end it all because of what others may think and fear.
Meaning we want the pain to end but not lose people through it.
The answer to that is giving people a voice where they don't need
to fear saying how they feel, which we know, it's still not going to
help everyone because everyone has a choice, we cannot focus people
to talk and not to, which would be the wrong thing to do,
even though the idea is to try to let people know we are here to
try and help if they need us but anything we cannot manage ourselves,
we need to learn how to get help elsewhere and who.
It is down to all of us to make a world where there is no fear, shame,
guilt, etc to talk but for many people that may take the time or not at all.

Mental health and Mental - ill health can be serious if not taken seriously.
Look out for those you know, look out for one another. It can be hard to reach out to someone when things are overwhelming. But conversation is a powerful coping tool. Talking or texting with someone on an anonymous, private helpline can relieve stress. Call or text 988 for support.
