The 988 Su***de and Crisis Hotline can not only help when you are going through a behavioral health crisis, but also when someone you love is as well. Here's some warning signs that a loved one may be at a higher risk of su***de:

* Talking about wanting to die or to kill themselves
* Looking for a way to kill themselves, like searching online or buying a weapon
* Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live
* Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain
* Talking about being a burden to others
* Increasing the use of alcohol or drugs
* Acting anxious or agitated; behaving recklessly
* Sleeping too little or too much
* Withdrawing or isolating themselves
* Showing rage or talking about seeking revenge
* Extreme mood swings

If you or someone you know is experiencing these warning signs, you can call or text 988 to be connected with a live behavioral health professional 24/7.

You are not alone, and hope is on the horizon.
