What if I am feeling suicidal?

We often speak to people who are feeling suicidal. We can support you and listen to your feelings about not wanting to live. If you have taken something or have injured yourself and you are concerned, we will continue talking to you but might gently encourage you to seek medical help. If you have told us your name and where you are and that you have taken action towards suicide or intend to right away, we may have to contact emergency services for you. It is always your choice about whether you tell us your details and we will not ask for them. We are not able to trace your call or find out where you are. We hope that if you are still contacting us then a part of you wants to be heard and understood, and we will absolutely listen and support you.
