The bottom line
 
    • You desperately need to feel better - to do this you need to be able to feel. If you are dead, your feelings will also be dead - you will not be able to feel better. You will be dead and your loved one's will be devastated. Suicide will not help you feel better.
  •  
    • Human contact, emotional support and a good coping strategy will help you to feel better. Human contact will help you to feel better. Emotional support will save you and those around you, and a good coping strategy will help you recover.
     
    • It is vital that you accept one simple truth: Suicide is not the solution you seek. But the real solution is out there. It is only a question of time till you find it, but find it you will.

  • In this situation, it is normal to experience being torn between life and death  - and let's be honest -  it's both scary and confusing.  Again, given the situation, it is perfectly natural and is nothing for us to panic about.
 
Let's have another recap.
 
  • We are not alone.
 
  • We know we are going through Hell because pain is overwhelming our ability to cope with that pain.
 
  • We urgently need this painful situation to come to an end. This is why we are contemplating suicide.
 
  • We are not crazy, weird or weak. 
 
  • We desperately need "not to be" in the pain we're in . And not as previously thought desperately need "to die". There is a whole world of difference.
 
  • Suicidal feelings really do pass.
 
With these important things in mind, I hope things are becoming just a little clearer.
 
  • Now, we need to make sure that we take control of this situation, and not allow these situations to take control of us.
 
This will require a good coping strategy and people around us who genuinely care. Hopefully this DASI site will help to find a good coping strategy.
