Asking for help is the bravest thing you can do when you are having a hard time and I am sure you have heard about Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex having asked for help. It really is brave, admitting that you are struggling and that you are feeling like things can’t go on as they are. Asking for help is the first step to getting through the tough times and thriving in life again.
Feeling suicidal is not something that anyone should take lightly. Non of us know what it is like to be inside someone else’s head. If you can ask for help you should be faced with someone to hold you, listen to you and support you. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen with the person you go to. But don’t let that stop you, go to someone else. Trust how you are feeling and if you know you need help now don’t let the voice in your head stop you from asking.
