Common warning signs of suicide may include:

Experiencing suicidal thoughts (suicidal ideation).
Talking about suicide wishes to others.
Hiding suicide wishes from others.
Making preparations like a will or writing a note, giving away valued or meaningful possessions, saying goodbye to loved ones, tidying up a living space, and researching and purchasing weapons or harmful substances.
Reckless, dangerous or risk-taking behavior without considering the consequences (like self-harm).
Withdrawing from loved ones and social situations.
Expressing feelings of being a burden or being trapped in a situation without a clear exit.
Mood changes (anxious, agitated, angry, depressed) or intense emotions.
A sudden sense of calm after a period of mood changes.
Signs that depression is getting worse, including changes to sleeping patterns (sleeping more or less than usual) or not finding joy in things that usually bring on this emotion.

"...proclaim good news to the poor...bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor... to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve...to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor (Isaiah 61:1-3).

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise (Psalm 51:17).

Talk to a friend, a family member or a church worker who believes on the Bible to pray with you.

May God be with you and bring you comfort, hope and joy in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Pray and read your Bible
