One of the last things most people expect is that they will feel so downtrodden that life no longer seems like a viable option. But if you are considering suicide, you’re not alone. In the United States, there are over 47,000 suicide deaths a year, and suicide is the tenth leading cause of death.
So how do you know when you cross the line from sad to suicidal? The simple answer is the moment you see yourself no longer in the picture and it doesn’t scare you. If you are considering suicide, please know that the unbearable pain you feel is temporary.
