Suicidal thoughts are more common than you’d imagine.
BUT we are not our thoughts.
Perhaps things have built up, you’re overwhelmed or can’t see how things can improve
Can you try to ‘stay safe’ for now?
StayingSafe.net has ideas for a way through how you’re feeling.
Also Safety Plan Cymraeg ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Know someone who’s dreading 2025? Please don’t wait for them to reach out. Instead ‘reach in’ to them. It may be hard to do, but also the most important conversation for both of you. Asking if they’ve seen the StayingSafe.net website is a gentle way to introduce a #SafetyPlan to help them stay safer
