Self Harm / Suicide

These experiences can feel isolating, frightening, and confusing, and people may struggle to understand why they feel this way. It’s important to know that these thoughts and behaviors are not a sign of weakness or failure, they are a signal that support is needed. Reaching out to trusted friends, family, or mental health professionals can provide safety, understanding, and tools to manage overwhelming emotions. With the right help, treatment, and support, people can heal, regain hope, and find healthier ways to cope with their feelings.

Self harm and suicide / suicidal ideations are signs of emotional distress and often arise when someone feels overwhelmed by intense emotions, hopelessness, or inner pain. Self harm typically involves deliberately hurting oneself as a way to cope, release tension, or feel some sense of control, even though it does not address the underlying issues. Suicidal thoughts occur when a person feels that life is unbearable or that there is no way to escape their suffering.
