Is the thought 'I want to kill myself' going through your mind often?

Take a deep breath and close your eyes. Take another deep breath. And another. Try and breathe deeply for a longer period of time.It is better now. You can start think about it. Almost any kind of loss and sorrow can be overcome. But it takes time. And determination. And above all, PATIENCE.

Despair seems infinite. But it's not... You are afraid. I know you are. It seems like you cannot go on anymore. Everything seems hopeless, your life as it is right now it's not worth living... You were thinking 'I want to kill myself'. Would you kill another living creature? Or another human being? Of course you wouldn't do that!

Then why would you want to kill yourself? Are you worthless? Are you the worst creature you ever knew? Of course not! Then what is it? Anger? Loss? Despair? All of it at the same time probably.

You know, you are not the only one to think that. 'I want to kill myself' is just a thought. Most of us thought about it at least once in our lives...

Think about what you are afraid the most. Write down the first 10 reasons that make you think 'I want to kill myself'. And then try and write down your solution next to every one of them... You'll see none of it is seriously unsurpassable any more.

But if there is still one reason left, take a red pencil and write next to it: 'I'll find a solution tomorrow'. You will.If there are more than 1 reason without an answer, do the same for all of them. And then breathe again. Deeply.

And go outside, regardless of the weather. Be one with nature. Watch the leaves move freely in the wind. They move so freely and lightly... Just like your thoughts. Watch the clouds – they are weightless... moving freely in the wind too. Do you see dark, heavy clouds above your head? They will pass. You will see the sun again, regardless of how dark and menacing the skies look right now. Drops of rain/snowflakes falling from the sky? Feel them on your face. See how soft they are. Try and catch one in your hand...

Do all this again tomorrow! Try and go outside every day. You can’t go outside? Try and get close to a window that you can open and look outside. Tomorrow is another day! Don’t forget that!
