IMPORTANT 

For the safety and well-being of all OOTS members, only posts that talk about suicide/self-harm in a very general sense will be permitted in this forum. Sadly there have been an increasingly number of posts about feeling suicidal/wanting to self-harm and as much as members of OOTS may want to help, none of us are trained to do so. Posts which do talk about current intent directly or indirectly will be removed and the poster will be advised to contact a professional ASAP.

One way of helping yourself if you are having thoughts of suicide is to visit Staying Safe from Suicidal Thoughts.  This online help site offers "easy to print / online templates and guidance video tutorials purposefully designed to help people through the process of writing their own Safety Plan to build hope, identify actions and strategies to resist suicidal thoughts and develop positive ways to cope with stress and emotional distress." 

Don't wait though if your thoughts persist, reach out for professional help. Contact your physician or therapist, a local Emergency Room, or one of the following organizations:
