If you are thinking of suicide or you believe someone you know is thinking of suicide, please reach out and tell someone or talk to the person you are concerned about. Asking someone if they are having thoughts of suicide does NOT place the idea in their minds or raise the risk that they could attempt to take their own life. That is a myth. In fact, people WANT to share their pain and it's so easy to ask that question.
If YOU are thinking of suicide, I want you to know that your life matters, to me.
