Rebekah's story for World Suicide Prevention Day - Samaritans

"I want people to be unafraid to ask their loved ones, 'Have you had suicidal thoughts?'" Rebekah knows the impact of talking openly about suicide. After months of suicidal thoughts and a suicide attempt, she called Samaritans. As she was struggling to articulate how she was feeling, the volunteer asked her, 'Are you feeling suicidal?'. That allowed her to respond with, 'Yes, I have tried to take my own life this evening'. By asking this direct question, the volunteer gave her the space to talk about her difficult thoughts with zero judgement. "Actually saying all of the painful thoughts, all of the ideation that I had, to another human being, actually calmed me down." She was then able to reach out to her friend using the words the volunteer helped her find. Talking openly about her suicidal thoughts, helped start her recovery and quickly after, she realised she wanted to live again.
