By Kendra and Lily Worley Suicide Prevention By Kendra and Lily Worley

Myth: People that attempt suicide are just attention seeking. Fact: People that attempt suicide are serious and searching for help.

Facts: Every 17 minutes at least 6 Americans lose a loved one to suicide. 66% showed signs of suicide

Mental Illness Wanting to end your life or thinking of ending your life, is NOT a healthy, “normal” thought pattern. Most people do not consider suicide as a solution to their problems. Suicide as a solution to ones problems, is typically a sign of an underlying mental illness.

If you have thoughts of suicide: Find an adult that you feel comfortable and share your feelings. These are not “normal” thoughts. There is counseling and medical help, to help decrease these thoughts. Suicide is NOT the answer. Good times come and go, Bad times come and GO! Life is forever changing. Hang in there and wait for the good to return.

If you know someone that you think may be considering suicide Signs to look for: Personality changes dramatically Think of what they are dealing with in their personal life: breakup, family problems, social problems Constantly bored or trouble concentrating Complaining of body aches that may not be real Eating or sleeping habits changed Appearance changed Giving away prized possessions Writing notes or poems about death Talk about suicide, even in a joking way Ever tried to commit suicide before Become extremely happy all at once, after being sad for a long while

How to help someone that is considering suicide Ask the person if they are considering suicide. Be open. Reassure them, that suicide is not the answer and there is help. Encourage them to talk about their feelings, listen, and do NOT judge. Seek professional help.
