how to help

Here’s how you can help a relative or a friend that are experiencing mental health issues and suicidal tendencies.

  • Know first the warning signs.

  • Determine if they are physically inflicting self-harm or just intrusive thoughts by asking them calmly.

  • Let them know you’re there for them, even by just listening to their problems and feelings.

how to help

To help those that are silent with their battles all you have to do is be transparent to them and let them be transparent to you, as depression or any of the mental illnesses can be masked up and dressed up as something different, it can still be present in anyone’s life. Be willing to help if they do so let you in their darkest times and never force them to tell you their troubles as they need to have that same willingness in them in order to let you know what’s bothering them.

For those that are silent with their troubles, know so that not everything can be solved independently. There will be those that can hear you out and give you a lending hand whenever you cannot hold yourself properly anymore.

There is no such thing as impossible in life, and all you have to do is take that one step towards improvement. What you feel now is valid and you have every right to feel that way, but never choose to stay in that dark place you’re in, you also deserve the warmth from the people around you.
