What is Su***de?
Su***de is when people harm themselves with the goal of ending their life, and they die as a result.
A su***de attempt is when people harm themselves with the goal of ending their life, but they do not die.
Avoid using terms such as “committing su***de,” “successful su***de,” or “failed su***de” when referring to su***de and su***de attempts, as these terms often carry negative meanings.
Warning Signs
Warning signs that someone may be at immediate risk for attempting su***de include:

Talking about feeling empty or hopeless or having no reason to live
Talking about feeling trapped or feeling that there are no solutions
Feeling unbearable emotional or physical pain
Talking about being a burden to others
Withdrawing from family and friends
Giving away important possessions
Saying goodbye to friends and family
Putting affairs in order, such as making a will
Taking great risks that could lead to death, such as driving extremely fast
Talking or thinking about death often
Other serious warning signs that someone may be at risk for attempting su***de include:
Displaying extreme mood swings, suddenly changing from very sad to very calm or happy
Making a plan or looking for ways to kill themselves, such as searching for lethal methods online, stockpiling pills, or buying a gun
Talking about feeling great guilt or shame
Using alcohol or drugs more often
Acting anxious or agitated
