Depression and feeling alone is a serious thing. Sometimes an individual just needs to know there is someone out there willing to listen. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. No matter what your background, age, gender, race, social status, no one is “immune”.
Suicide is an international problem and a major public health concern. Suicide claims approximately 1 million lives worldwide each year, resulting in one suicide every 40 seconds. There is an estimated 10 to 20 suicide attempts per each completed suicide, resulting in several million suicide attemtps each year.
Whether you have been impacted by suicide or are hurting, remember there are those that love you. It is easy to feel a wide variety of emotions. Many individuals don’t wish to die, they wish to ease the pain they are feeling. You do not have to face those feelings alone.
If you are hurting, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255)
