Beware of the 3 H's  Helpless, hopeless, hapless.  Did you know that more females than males attempt it.  Did you know that males are more lethal.  Did you know that people in this acute state are only dangerous for very short periods, often only seconds.  The first question is...are you having thoughts of self harm today?  If the answer is yes..the next question should be...do you have a plan?  They will tell you..if they do.  Did you know that people who suffer with this problem are highly suggestable and will follow orders?  Did you know that most do not turely wish to die, they just want to feel better.  So here is one final question.  To what extent do drugs and alcohol contribute to this problem?  Good luck out there..and stay safe.
