Suicidal feelings can affect anyone, of any age, gender or background, at any time.
Feeling suicidal is not a character defect, and it doesn’t mean that you are crazy, or weak, or flawed. It only means that you have more pain than you can cope with right now.
Samaritans tell us that the majority of people who feel suicidal do not actually want to die; they do not want to live the life they have. That is why it is so important to seek help and to talk through your options.
With time and support, you can overcome your problems and the pain and suicidal feelings will pass.
