Suicide

According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, every day, approximately 80 Americans take their own life, and 1,500 more attempt to do so. Hopelessness and despair are commonly experienced emotions and often translate into suicidal thoughts and actions. Often, life looks hopeless. We experience such intense emotional, psychological, and sometimes physical pain, that we will go to any length to end the pain and suffering.

If you have reached the end of your rope and don’t want to live another day, reach out for help. We understand that you are exhausted and that you’ve already tried everything you know to do, but keep holding on. This is the only life you will ever have. Call a friend, call 911 or call a suicide hotline immediately; and keep reaching out until you find someone who will help you through this. Suicide is not the answer you’re looking for—there is another way. Let someone help you find the way.
