Suicide prevention

Picture

THESE ARE SOME OF THE WARNING SIGNS OF IMPENDING SUICIDE    

Picture
1.     The person talks about not wanting to live. The majority of people give hints and warnings before they die by suicide,
        such as saying, “What’s the point.” “Everyone would be better off if I weren't here.”

2.     Increased substance abuse. Substance abuse and suicide are unfortunately closely linked. Substance abuse gives people 
        the courage and impulsive behavior to die by suicide.

3.     New onset insomnia. When people are up at night, pacing, upset, anxious, it’s a terrible feeling and can make suicide more 
        appealing.

4.     Increased anxiety. If the person you care about is telling you they are more anxious, take it seriously. It’s a horrible feeling
        and increases the chance of dying by suicide.

5.     Increased agitation and anger. Prior to suicide, some people become more hostile and short tempered. 

                                                    If you or a loved one has any of these signs ... CALL FOR HELP!
