People who attempt suicide are more likely to be suffering from a serious mental condition like depression or anxiety. Know that there is help for you. If your suicidal feelings were brought on by a specific event, like the grief of being jilted, job loss, or becoming disabled, remember that this kind of situational depression can still be helped by treatment. If you are religious and have access to a spiritual leader, try talking to him/her. Some people prefer talking to people of faith than one trained primarily in psychology. Those called to religious ministry are trained in helping people in crisis, including individuals in despair who may be suicidal. If this is something that you believe in, a spiritual leader can help you ease the pain by offering a new perspective and giving you some things to think about. There are support groups, both online and in your community, where you can find comfort by talking to other people who have suicidal thoughts or who have attempted suicide. To find a support group, you can ask your mental health professional for information about group meetings, or look online for groups in your local area. The most important thing to remember is that no matter why this is happening, you are not alone. Reach out to people who are there for you and who understand how it feels, and want to help. If you're looking for a good place to start, try getting in touch with one of the following services:  Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (1-800-799-4TTY). If you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, or trans* call 1-888-THE-GLNH (1-888-843-4564). If you're a veteran call 800-273-TALK and press 1. If you're a teenager call Covenant House Nine Line at 1-800-999-9999. Send an anonymous e-mail to The Samaritans suicide prevention center. Call a psychotherapist. Look in your phone book for a list of people in your area. You can also find one, here: http://locator.apa.org/ Tell him how you’re feeling and that you need his/her help. Ask your friend to remind you of your positive qualities and strengths or to talk about fun times that you’ve had.  Pick a friend who you think is trustworthy. Talking to untrue friends about your situation will only make it worse since untrue friends will not be there for you. Avoid being alone. Make sure that friends and family do not let you out of their sight. If you do not have anyone to watch over you, check yourself into an emergency room to make sure you are not alone.  If you are part of a support group, lean on other members of your group for extra support from people who really understand what you’re going through and can help you.
