Suicide should never be an option

Ever been faced with real life challenges and then you thought of just ending it all?

Ever felt that living is not just worth, after passing through hell on Earth.

Or right now you've given up on life and you think you can put an end to all the struggles, pains, disappointments and you want to put a big full stop to it all.

Your partner just put a drastic end to an over four years relationship or your spouse called off your wedding and you think the only next option is to end your life.

I've heard it a lot of times, people do say life is sweet.

It is.

Life is full of challenges, ups and downs, betrayal disappointment, wickedness... but then, life is sweet.

I'm sorry if you find it offensive... put I'll say it again, life is sweet.

keep saying it till you admit it.

There are alot and different definitions of suicide, everyone knows what it means to commit suicide, so I don't need to define it.

To be candid, a lot of factors cause suicidal thoughts which might eventually lead to suicide.

• • bullying and discrimination

• • different types of abuse, including domestic, sexual or physical abuse.

• • bereavement; loosing a loved one.

• • heart break caused by end of a relationship

• • long-term physical pain or illness.

• • abject poverty

• • mental illness

Life challenges come in different areas, and there are a lot of problems in life. But then, I believe every problems has a solution or a way it can be handled.

Suicide?? Because of temporary problems??oh no no no ❌❌❌

Being abused physically or sexually or facing any form of discrimination doesn't guarantee any form of suicide. Abuse of any form subjects the victims to low self esteem, extreme sadness but you don't have to wallow in silence and then commit suicide. You just made the bad people the villians. Speak out and get help.

Call for help and see a counselor.

That you lost a loved one isn't the end of the world. It isn't the end of things for you. It can be so sad, heart breaking, traumatizing and all that, but you've got to cheer up. Why will you even think of death?

That he or she ended things with you doesn't mean you should go and die. They lost!

It simply means they aren't the right one for you. It simply means you deserve better.

We all should learn to be optimistic no matter how dark the situation may be.

Abject poverty I believe is mostly caused by laziness, you should not just go and take rat poison. Why don't you try work hard a bit, and enjoy life better. Pray and see things change for the better.

And if you know the cause of your poverty is spiritual or ordinary, why don't you cry to God?

You might be so sick and it feels like life is coming to an end, you might be going through severe pains and you suddenly feel you the only thing is to put everything to an end. But I want you to know that, if you commit suicide... God will not forgive you.

God gave us life and no one has the right to take it.

People around too have their roles to play. You might not know, but that bad thing that came out of your mouth might be the reason why that person committed suicide.

You say bad things about people and bring down their self esteem. Make others believe they aren't worth anything.

You discriminate.

The rate at which people commit suicide nowadays is becoming alarming.

Learn to check up on people, alot of people are dieing in silence. Some already have suicidal thoughts.

Give them words of encouragements, words that will uplift their spirit.

You don't jokingly tell someone to drink snipper. Please don't!

You try to solve your problems and at the same time, make yourself happy. You don't deserve to die so don't kill yourself.

It should never ever be an option really...

I know there are alot of real life problems I'm actually ignorant of, but then... my word for you, never think of commiting suicide.

IF YOU'RE FEELING SUICIDAL;

Please talk about how you are feeling with someone you trust or an emotional support helpline.

Contact a health professional such as your GP or Community Mental Health Team (CMHT).

Try to do activities you enjoy which take your mind off what you are thinking.

If you are in real danger of taking your own life call emergency services on 999 or go to Accident and Emergency (A&E).

Go through the day and take your mind off the future.

When someone comes to ask you to for help, that he or she is being suicidal, please don't joke with it. Suicide isn't something to catch cruise with. If you won't be able to really be of help, make sure that person meets with someone that will help.

Please suicide is not funny.

Stop taking your own life!

That problem you're going through is temporary, why suicide?

When you're being suicidal, the bravest step to take is to continue leaving. Suicide should never be an option, I repeat.

SAY NO TO SUICIDE!
