Depression and suicidal thoughts

People get worried and depressed about all sorts of different things. And we all cope with our worries in different ways. Sometimes we can feel hopeless and that nobody understands us. Sometimes we can feel that ending it all is the best answer. If you ever feel this way you need to talk to someone.

There are always people ready to listen to you. Talk to a parent or carer, a good friend or an adult you know and trust. Your Connexions personal adviser is also a good person to see. Or pick up the phone to the Samaritans. Don’t suffer on your own.
