Thinking of ending your life?
Don’t make it the end of the road! Remember – if you succeed, it is final! And there is no coming back!
Most attempts finish up being nothing but failures because some – like with barbiturates – don’t work, and some triers change their mind in the middle of it, and this becomes a messy, unsuccessful attempt finishing up in a psychiatric hospital!
When depressed, talk to – or ring up – a friend you can trust! The very reason that makes you contemplate such measures – loaded off your chest – is already a relief in lifting the burden and easing the urge to take drastic measures – like ending it all! If there is no friend that can be trusted for sufficient understanding, there is always “Lifeline” to ring, to get it off your chest and someone to talk you out of it!
Whatever your reason for considering ending your life – extreme sadness, disillusionment or hopelessness, try to solve the problem yourself, which is – through the power on – and taking place within – your own mind, which is more effective than the advice and lack of understanding from others!
Tell yourself, although it may seem like it at the moment, that it is not the end of your world and should not be the end of your life!
Because there is a tomorrow and a day and more days beyond, which may and will bring with it new hope and even change, if only in your present mood of hopelessness and attitude, at least long enough, to plan and bring about the change you need to say yes to life!
Also realise, that it takes courage to take your life; but greater courage to face it and live on, in spite of the burden that caused your decision in the first place!
So show the courage which is greater! Don’t give in to what is for the moment, but live for tomorrow and beyond, which is your life! Remember, nothing is permanent!
Presently you may have to put up with your sadness! And endure it until it changes! Somehow, sometime soon, it will! Don’t end it here and now!
Ending your life is not the answer.
Tomorrow is still ahead and waiting for you with a change for the better! And this moment, then, will only remain a forgettable memory!
Snap out of it! Let the world go by! Read a book or watch television.Tomorrow is another day and life is, after all, worth living.
