Felt Like That Was My Way Out

We are concerned about you and want to make sure that you are getting the help that you deserve.   Thinking or feeling like suicide is the answer or your way out of a tough situation means that it is time for you to really open up with someone just like you are with us.  

Having to end a relationship is upsetting.  Suicide is NOT the answer.  Breakups are always hard.  We understand.  We also know that, with help, you will get through this tough time.

The next step for you is to talk in person to an adult that can help.  If you have a counselor or favorite teacher, ask to meet with him or her in private right away.  Don’t be afraid to say that you are feeling like ending your life so that they get how serious this is for you. 

Even though it may feel super scary right now, you are doing the right thing.

Please write back to let us know how your conversation with an adult turned out. 

Sincerely, 

Linda, Crisis Counselor
