Welcome to the suicide help section. Here I have a few facts and just some knowledge from me. If you are having any real thoughts of suicide please contact a center in your area (a number can be found in our numbers section). If you would like personal advise you can email me your questions, go to the message board, or check out our chat room. Once again if you are having thoughts of suicide we beg you to get help from a local center, help group, or family doctor.
