In an intense emotional state, you may underestimate your own ability to take your life. Regardless of how you feel, seek help if you experience any of these warning signs, using the resources described in the crisis section:  Social isolation, withdrawal from friends and family, thoughts of not belonging or being a burden Extreme self-hatred, feelings of hopelessness Sudden mood changes (including for the better), rage outbursts, low tolerance for frustration, agitation or anxiety Increase in alcohol or drug use Insomnia or severely disrupted sleep Talking about suicide, planning it, or acquiring tools for suicide While self-harm is not the same as suicide attempts, the two are strongly linked. Seek immediate attention if you inflict serious or frequent self-harm, including punching walls, pulling out hair, or scratching your skin. Having easy access to dangerous items increases the chance of suicide. Don't make it easy to change your mind. Lock away anything you could use to harm yourself, like pills, razors, knives, or guns. Give them to someone else for safekeeping, throw them away, or put them in a place that's not within easy reach.   Minimize alcohol and drug use. Despite the temporary good feelings, they can make depression worse or harder to deal with. If you don't feel as though you'll be safe in your own home, go somewhere where you do feel safe. Stay with a friend, or go to a community center or another public place where you can hang out. Your support system is very important when you're dealing with suicidal thoughts. You need people you can trust to hear you out without judging you for feeling despair or trying to give advice that hurts more than it helps. Even well-meaning people can sometimes make you feel guilty or ashamed for feeling suicidal. Try to spend time with people who will listen and care for you without judgement instead. If you aren't comfortable sharing with anyone in your life, read about the award-winning, global Buddy project on their twitter page, and sign up for a buddy here. Reading, watching, or listening to stories from other people who have battled suicide will show you that you are not alone, and can teach you new coping tactics or inspire you to keep fighting. Try the lifeline collection or the Reasons to Go On Living project. This is a personalized plan you can use to help you stop thinking about suicide when your thoughts start to get overwhelming. Try filling out the coping kit at lifeline.org.au, or read it over to get an idea of what belongs on this plan. Here's an example of a basic safety plan, although adding warning signs and specific numbers is a good idea:   1. Call someone on my list of people I can talk to. Write a list of five names or more, including 24-hour suicide hotlines. In a crisis, keep calling people on the list until I reach someone.  2. Delay my plan for 48 hours. Promise myself that I won't take my life before thinking through other options.  3. Ask someone to come stay with me. If no one can come, go to a place where I feel safe.  4. Go to the hospital. Drive myself or have someone take me. (It's not recommended that you drive yourself, as you might take reckless actions when driving due to a "death wish", so it's better to have someone else take you to the hospital, such as a trusted friend or one of your parents). 5. Call emergency services.
