If you're experiencing suicidal thoughts, you're not alone. Suicidal thoughts aren't talked about very much, but many people experience them during their lives. There are 17 suicide hotlines (crisis lines or helplines) in France that can help. If you're not sure what suicidal thoughts look like, they might look like any of the following:
When you're suicidal, you're going through an emotional crisis. Being in crisis mode can give rise to intense emotions that are difficult to process. You may be overwhelmed and want nothing more than for the pain to end. It may not seem like it, but things can get better.
Even though things might feel hopeless, getting support from someone who cares can make a big difference. Speaking to a crisis counselor in France may help you see that there is a light at the end of the dark tunnel you are in right now.
