DEAR SIR: Suicide has been described as a long-term solution to a short-term problem. In reality, it solves nothing – instead it causes utter devastation to your family and those close to you and creates a void that can never be filled.
Your family and those close to you absolutely need you, please reject the lie that might tell you otherwise (and any other lies that are not helpful).
There are many ways of counteracting negative thoughts including talking to others, practising gratitude, taking exercise and staying close to nature.
