Make the next few minutes safer.
Move toward another person. If possible, do not stay alone when you feel unable to stay safe.
Create distance from anything you could use to hurt yourself or someone else. Ask another person to secure it.
Say it directly. You can tell the responder: “I might hurt myself,” “I cannot stay safe,” or “I am worried they may act now.”
Share your location. Give your address or where you are now, and stay on the line unless the responder tells you otherwise.
Worried about someone else?
Ask directly whether they are thinking about suicide. Calling or texting 9-8-8 can help you decide what to do next. If danger appears immediate, call 9-1-1. Stay with the person if it is safe for you to do so.
