If you are having suicidal thoughts, it can be hard to talk about. However, thinking about suicide is very common and you are less alone than you think. In Alabama, United States, there are 4 suicide hotlines (helplines and crisis lines) who are there to listen. Suicidal thoughts can look like any of the following:

Feeling like you wouldn't be missed if you were gone
Feeling deep and constant despair
Thinking that the world would be better off without you
Feeling a deep sense of loneliness or isolation
Feeling unwanted or like a burden to others
A sense of finality, as if there is no other choice
Having urges to hurt yourself
