How do you tell your family you’re having suicidal thoughts?

The fact that you’re asking this question is already a great first step. Just tell the truth about how you’re feeling and what you’ve been thinking and be honest. Ask them to support you and for assistance in getting help to make sure you stay safe.

And remember, if you’re in crisis and feel like you’re a danger to yourself or others, please seek immediate help.
