YOU ARE VALUABLE
One of most reason of suicidal thoughts is loss of self-worth in that individual’s own eyes. Low self-esteem and brings the person down emotionally and kills all hope that there is a reason for that person to live. Low self-esteem kills you emotionally, psychologically, physically, socially and even financially.
EVEN IF PEOPLE DESPISE YOU but you have to learn to see value in yourself. See and add value to your life everyday. Tell yourself that you are worth and that you count and that you are special. As you keep on doing that, you will see that there is more to life than death.
FIND SOMEONE TO TALK TO
Sometimes you might need a professional counsellor to help you or even just another person who can give you a shoulder to cry on and listen to you speak. Don’t keep some things eating you from within. Find somebody mature enough who you can pour out your heart to.
SOMETIMES CRYING DO MUCH GOOD THAN HOLDING IN
There are deep hurts and pains that may require you to cry them out. Holding them will keep burning up the fire of deep sorrow within you but tears may put out that fire. Crying is not always a sign of weakness but can be a sign of strength and wisdom on letting go some hurts.
THERE IS MUCH HOPE FOR A LIVING DOG THAN A DEAD LION
You may be seeing yourself as a looser or as too much disadvantaged but start filling your mind with positive thoughts. You may be blind or deaf but you are better than a dead person who had vision and sight. Utilize your time well by never giving up trying your best nomatter how many times you fail. As long as you are alive, there is hope and your life can change.
HAVE A VISION FOR LIFE
One of the sad truths is that most people who struggle most with suicidal thoughts have no vision or will be working on an unbalanced or poorly calculated vision or dream. If you have a vision or goal then you have a reason to live for but not having or losing such a thing will make you think you don’t deserve to live. Build positive goals and dreams everyday and you will have every reason to stay alive.
BE BOLD ENOUGH TO FACE TOUGH OR HUMILIATING SITUATIONS
Some people contemplate suicide because they do not have the guts to face tough or humiliating situations. Tell yourself that it’s just a passing phase and that you can still become a better you. Be bold and strong.
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO APPRECIATE YOU
People who appreciate you will always give you a reason to live. Don’t be surrounded always with people who demotivate, discourage, despise and poison your self-esteem. Be with people who can see value in you and accommodate you.
DON’T BE SELFISH OR SELF-CENTERED…THINK ABOUT OTHERS TOO
Sometimes think about the people who will be affected by your absence. Don’t run away in selfishness but stay strong for the sake of others. Think about your spouse, children, family, co-workers etc…think also about the other people who will just be affected psychologically by the sad news of suicide and save their day by staying alive.
YOU ARE NOT CERTAIN ABOUT THE AFTER-LIFE BEYOND THE SUICIDE SO IT’S WISER TO FACE A PREDICTABLE TOMORROW THAT YOU CAN HAVE ON EARTH
Many religious beliefs believe in the after-life but it’s not something you have seen for yourself and you are now certain that if it’s there it will be good if you go there by means of suicide. But on this earth, you can predict your tomorrow by working it out. So you better be strong to work out this life that you are certain about how it will be like tomorrow than rushing yourself into the after-life before the right time and yet you will not be even sure about how it looks like
BEYOND SHADOWS OF THE SUNSET, THE SUN WILL STILL BE SHINING AND RISING IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. Beyond your saddest and hopeless moments, new hope arises if you open your eyes wide enough.
