Should I tell someone about my suicide & self harm thoughts?!


Question: Should I tell someone about my suicide & self harm thoughts?
I always have thoughts of suicide & self harm. I get my self into states where I just act impulsivly on my thoughts and cut and take overdoses. Big ones too.

I have to meet someone on Monday from a service near my end like a support worker I guess? Should I tell them? What will they do because tbh I don't know when the next time is i'm going to harm my self but I can't wait forever i'm clinging on :(

Thanks.ox

I am an ex-cutter. I know exactly how you feel. So im going to tell you the cold hard truth:


Cutting is stupid. Its cowardly. Its a pathetic way to ask for help. Yes, help. Every time you bring a knife to your skin, every time you down a bunch of pills: you are screaming for help.
You want help. And i know that you probably cut because your afraid to ask for help. You dont wanna seem weak. You think nobody cares. So why tell them? I can deal with this.
You know thats not the truth. If it wasnt, you wouldnt be asking for help, right now. Tell them. Good luck.



Yes tell someone. It's not the end. You don't need to commit suicide or self harm yourself. I did once and I strongly regret it. Please don't. Get help. Don't let go. You're beautiful and I love you. Be strong. If you need someone to talk to email me at 6bilSs@gmail.com and a great website to let it all out on is sixbillionsecrets.com... You'll be amazed by how many people actually care about you, even though they don't know who you are.

I used to cut and my friend almost commited suicide.



yes tell them honey they will help or take you to someone who can. well done for thinking of getting help good look and try to keep the harming to the minimun it certainly wont help you.



yes, definitely. You need professional help and this support worker may be able to guide you in the right direction.



yeah you should tell someone they will prob put you on anti depressants and into counciling it may depend on how sever it is



You definitely must tell someone. The sooner the better. No one can help if they don't know whats going on

Please do? If you're strong enough to do that, take the opportunity. I really wish I could too, so be brave <3
