Feeling Suicidal?
• Tell your therapist, a friend, a family member, or someone else who can help. • Distance yourself from any means of suicide. If you are thinking of taking an overdose, give your medicines to someone who can give them to you one day at a time. Remove any dangerous objects or weapons from your home. • Avoid alcohol and other drugs of abuse. • Avoid doing things you’re likely to fail at or find difficult until you’re feeling better. Know what your present limits are and don’t try to go beyond them until you feel better. Set realistic goals for yourself and work at them slowly, one step at a time. • Make a written schedule for yourself every day and stick to it no matter what. Set priorities for the things that need to be done first. Cross things out on your schedule as you finish them. A written schedule gives you a sense of predictability and control. Crossing out tasks as you complete them gives a feeling of accomplishment. No Iframes • In your daily schedule don’t forget to schedule
