From people who came through it
“Hi, you. I was where you are eighteen months ago. For me, i keep going for my dog. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Praying for you.”
Usha from Nagpur · been through living with suicidal thoughts“You don't have to tell everyone. But tell someone. For me it was my sister. It was the hardest thing. But it made the thoughts a bit quieter. Have a plan. Mine is on my phone. Use it when you need to. The thoughts might be loud now. But they can get quieter. I'm not going to say it's easy. It's not. But you're still here. That counts.”
dwayne.uncle · been through living with suicidal thoughts“I was in the same place nearly four years ago. It was telling my sister was the hardest thing and I couldn't see past it. I've started painting again.”
oliwiamango · been through living with suicidal thoughts“If you're scared right now, I get it. In 2023, that was me. I remember a safety plan on my phone like it was yesterday. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
