A white background featuring a large black hand-drawn semicolon next to text that explains how semicolons represent hope and the choice to continue one's story.

Semicolons always bring hope, hope that the story isn’t over yet, hope to the ones who chose to fight instead of ending it all.

A tweet by Matt Haig explaining that suicide is a symptom of the illness of depression and a tragedy rather than a selfish act.

Suicide is not selfish. Suicide is, normally, death caused by the illness of depression. It is the final symptom.

A text-based graphic debunking the myth that talking about suicide encourages it, citing research and attributed to psychotherapist Stacey Freedenthal.

It's a myth that talking about suicide gives somebody the idea. Research consistently shows that asking somebody about suicide, even several times a day, doesn't cause or increase suicidal thoughts.

Alternatives to Self-Harm 🧊 Eat an ice-cube – the sensation can take your mind off intense feelings. 🩹 Wear a rubber band around your wrist and snap it when you feel distressed. 📓 Keep a journal and jot down your thoughts. 🏃 Exercise – it releases endorphins and can help lift your mood. 🎵 Listen to soothing music.

When someone shares thoughts of suicide, it’s not about having the “right” solution.
It’s about being present, listening, and helping them stay safe while guiding them toward support.
Lending a ear can go further than you think.

Suicide doesn’t discriminate!

It affects people across ages, genders, backgrounds, cultures, and workplaces. Assume it can impact anyone and build support systems for everyone.
