We are so glad you reached out tonight! You have just made a huge step and we want you to know that we are here for you whenever you need us. We are really worried about you and want to make sure that you are safe. It is not easy to deal with suicidal feelings all on your own and know that you don't have to be. Never think that no one cares about you because there are people that are willing to help you if you let them know what is going on. Is there anyone you feel close to that you could tell? Are you thinking of ways to hurt yourself? We really hope that if you were thinking of ways to harm yourself that you would call us before you did anything. We know that you are struggling right now and we want to be here to help.

Suicide is definitely not a good option for you right now, it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. You have your whole life ahead of you and we promise things will get better. We know you do not want to talk to your parents about what is going on, but you never know they might be able to help you and they can't if they do not know how you are feeling. We noticed that you gave us your phone number, would it be okay if we contacted you? Our counselors are available 24/7 and always willing to take a call from you too! Please get back with us soon so we know that you are okay.

Take Care,
Andria, Counselor
