OVER COME

Coping

Step #1: Promise not to do anything right now

Even though you’re in a lot of pain right now, give yourself some

distance between thoughts and action. Make a promise to yourself: "I

will wait 24 hours and won't do anything drastic during that time." Or,

wait a week.

Step #2: Avoid drugs and alcohol

Suicidal thoughts can become even stronger if you have taken drugs

or alcohol. It is important to not use nonprescription drugs or alcohol

when you feel hopeless or are thinking about suicide.

Step #3: Make your home safe Remove things you could use to

hurt yourself, such as pills, knives, razors, or firearms. If you are

unable to do so, go to a place where you can feel safe.

Step #4: Take hope – people DO get through this

Even people who feel as badly as you are feeling now manage to

survive these feelings. Take hope in this. There is a very good

chance that you are going to live through these feelings, no

matter how much self-loathing, hopelessness, or isolation you

are currently experiencing.

Just give yourself the time needed and don’t try to go it alone.

REACH OUT YOUR NOT ALONE …
