Thank you for being here, and for wanting to do something about the suicidal thoughts you are living with. Living with these thoughts does not have to stay a reality. Yes, it might be difficult to believe that. But as a suicide survivor who has lived for 6 years with constant suicidal thoughts, I truly can say that things can be different.
By studying psychology, volunteering at a suicide hotline, doing professional work around mental health through The IPS Project (an educational platform on life [ Ссылка ]), and having lived for 6 years with these thoughts, I sincerely hope in this video I can provide some advice on what to do if you feel suicidal.
If you would like to check out the video I created on how to help someone who is struggling with suicidal thoughts, you can find the video here: [ Ссылка ].
Understanding how these thoughts can develop, can also be of great help in understanding yourself better.
Down below you can find all the recommendations from this video.

ℹ️ I OFFER THERAPY/COACHING ℹ️
If you are struggling with something and you’d like to work on this, I am a therapist who practices cognitive behavioral therapy, an evidence-based therapy. If you struggle with one or more of the following: a lack of satisfaction with life; feelings of emptiness and sadness; feeling stuck in life; burdens you've been carrying around for some time that you can't or dare not talk about with anyone; emotions that make life difficult for you, such as insecurity, fear, sadness, etc.—I can help you.
You can book a 35-minute consultation with me through this link, [ Ссылка ], so I can assess what you are struggling with and what you want to work on to improve yourself or your life. If I can help you, we will continue by booking our first session; that is where the real work will start.
