If you're experiencing suicidal thoughts, you're not alone. Suicidal thoughts aren't talked about very much, but many people experience them during their lives. There are 6 suicide hotlines (crisis lines or helplines) in Lithuania that can help. If you're not sure what suicidal thoughts look like, they might look like any of the following:

Feeling like there is no end in sight to the pain you're feeling
Losing your motivation to keep going
Making plans for ending your life
Feeling like you wouldn't be missed if you were gone
Thinking you're going to feel this way forever
Looking up information about how to kill yourself
Feeling like you can't cope with the pain anymore
Feeling deep and constant despair

When you're experiencing severe emotional distress, you may feel desperate to relieve your pain. Suicide is not the answer. It may feel like the only way to manage problems that seem unbearable, but it's not. There are always other options and there is always hope for a better tomorrow.

You may be concerned that nobody will understand what you're going through, but helpline volunteers in Lithuania are specially trained to offer support to people in an emotional crisis. There is no right or wrong way to talk about suicidal feelings. Reaching out for help is what counts.

Consider contacting a hotline in Lithuania right away for free, private help with suicide.
