LET'S TALK ABOUT SUICIDE. DON'T LET SILENCE KILL YOU. SPEAK UP. YOU´RE A NOT ALONE.

WARNING SIGNS OF SUICIDE 

 • Talking about wanting to die 

• Looking for a way to kill oneself 

• Talking about feeling hopeless or having no purpose 

• Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain 

• Talking about being a burden to others 

• Increasing the use of alcohol or drugs 

• Acting anxious, agitated or recklessly

• Sleeping too little or too much 

• Withdrawing or feeling isolated 

• Showing rage or talking about seeking revenge

The more of these signs a person shows, the greater the risk. Warning signs are associated with suicide but may not be what causes a suicide.
