Suicidal thoughts can affect anyone. They are more common than you might think, which is why there are 3 suicide hotlines (or helplines and crisis lines) in Wales that can offer help to anyone struggling with feeling suicidal. Suicidal thoughts might involve:

The thought of ending your life gives you a sense of relief
Feeling like you wouldn't be missed if you were gone
Looking up information about how to kill yourself
Thinking you're going to feel this way forever
Feeling or thinking you are worthless
Withdrawing from people in your life or cutting yourself off from others
Feeling a deep sense of loneliness or isolation
Having urges to hurt yourself

Experiencing suicidal feelings is a response to intense emotional pain that feels impossible to escape from. It's not uncommon to feel that nothing can be solved when you're emotionally overwhelmed. However, with the right support, you can end your emotional suffering without having to end your life.

You may be concerned that nobody will understand what you're going through, but helpline volunteers in Wales are specially trained to offer support to people in an emotional crisis. There is no right or wrong way to talk about suicidal feelings. Reaching out for help is what counts.

Consider contacting a hotline in Wales right away for free, private help with suicide.

We’ve partnered with ThroughLine to compile a list of resources for support to address a variety of possible issues.

If you have a negative experience, please know it is not your fault; help is available. Submit a report by following our guidance here, and consider contacting one of the resources above.
