What should I do if I feel suicidal?

If this is a question you are genuinely asking it is important that you speak to someone about it.

Find someone you trust, whose opinions and confidence you respect and ask for help. It may be that you should talk to a parent or teacher about it if you are a young person, or perhaps arrange to see your GP or a counsellor.

Many people have found the Samaritans have been a help. Their phone number is 0845 7909090 and you can phone them any time of the day and night.

Whatever you may be feeling at the moment, whether it is loneliness, bitterness, despair or whatever, do remember you are not alone in having these feelings, nor is it wrong to have them.
