Suicidal Thoughts
Even if life feels awful right now, there is always hope. We absolutely believe that. We want you here, and others want you here. You are valuable.
Examples of Suicidal Thoughts
Having the idea that ending your life would be better than living is a sign of suicidal thoughts. You may or may not have a specific plan. Of the 29.5 million people living in Texas, 754,000 adults have reported suicidal thoughts in the past year.
There are two types of suicidal thoughts — active and passive.
Active suicidal thoughts: Not only are you having suicidal thoughts, but also you have a specific plan and an intention to carry out suicide.
Passive suicidal thoughts: You may have periodic thoughts of suicide, such as wishing you could fall asleep and never wake up, but you don’t have a genuine intention to harm yourself.
