#suicideawareness – trigger.
“It’s just a ‘call for help’.”
“It’s attention seeking behaviour.”
Just two examples of very judgmental and incredibly hurtful thing to say to those who are in pain.
Whether true or not, these statements are not kind. 💔
Callers who contact Samaritans frequently have no one they can open up with, because of shame, judgement or blame.
“I can’t go on anymore.”
“I don’t feel like waking up tomorrow.”
“Life’s too hard.”
Don’t judge.
Open your heart and listen. ❤
If you are strugging, and you need someone to talk to – please call Samaritans freephone on 116 123 from the UK.
You can also email jo@samaritans.org.
You don’t have to be alone 🌹
