If you are thinking about dying

If you are thinking about dying, you do not have to decide anything alone in this hour. Thoughts like these often arrive when pain, shame, or exhaustion has crowded out every other option. They are a signal that you need another person with you now.

Do this next

Move away from anything you could use to hurt yourself, if you can. Call 2919-9000, or ask someone next to you to call and stay while you talk. If speaking is hard, you can say only: I am not safe, and I need someone to listen. You do not have to explain your whole life.

You can call before you are sure

You do not need to be certain that you will act. You do not need to be calm, or able to tell a clear story. The line is for the moment when staying is hard. A First Listener will help you get through the next stretch of time and look for support around you.

Call CIPUH at 2919-9000 — free, confidential, 24/7. If you are with someone else who is in immediate physical danger, also contact local emergency services.
