Do NOT Blame Suicidal People For Wanting To Die

Do NOT blame suicidal people for wanting to die

They can’t help it.

They are in a kind of pain you can’t even imagine.

The last thing they need is more guilt.

They trusted you enough to tell you, don’t guilt trip them.

If you don’t know how to help them, please ask a professional for advice.

It takes much strenght to survive suicidal thoughts. They are strong but they need help and support.

It is NOT their fault, nor yours. They just need support.

Suicidal pain is exhausting and they only want to rest. Try to understand, not blame them.

They need professional help.

They are not selfish.

They are ill.

Someone with a social anxiety disorder will never get tired of hearing you say:

“I’m here for/with you” “I like you” “I love you” “I value you as a person” “Your opinions matter to me” “I’ll go with you if it’s too scary” “No matter what your anxiety tells you I’m not going anywhere” “Your feelings are valid”

Especially when they’re anxious Especially when they’re anxious Especially when they’re anxious

Even if you’ve already said it. Say it again. And again. Please. Cause it may seem silly to someone without S.A.D., but it’s actually really reassuring to be reminded of having support even if we were just reminded last week, or last month, or yesterday. It’s important. Really important. Cause the anxiety will often lead us to feel alone, unloved, like the person might go away if we share our feelings, even when we know it’s not true. It’s a million times easier to be convinced by someone else than by our own anxious brains sometimes.

This has been a PSA.
