This brother on twitter keeps asking for support and talking about his suicidal thoughts all the time… https://mobile.twitter.com/kokonattsus/status/1443733953022775298
Salaams Sisters. I would also like to add that we must be alert because many don’t tell you directly that they are suicidal. I lost a friend in primary school who took her own life. She told me indirectly that she’s saying goodbye and she wants to go to her mum.. Her mum had passed away. I was only 7 or 8 and she was a bit older. Adults must read between the lines and this I suppose we can do when we have some relationship with the person. Some people do play on emotions for self gain but I learnt from this valuable lesson that we must give each one the benefit of the doubt. Jazakallah Kheir for sharing your expertise, sister Haleh. Much love and Appreciation
Hello ms Haleh how are you feeling
5 Don’t for suicidal
1) Don’t dismiss them
2) No name calling
3) Don’t label them attention seeker
4) Dont ask them to snap out
5. Don’t say go ahead kill ‘yourself’
Encourage them to talk. When there is support and a person around them they will survive. Empathy works. Not saying I know what you are going through I will do my best to understand. Be non judgmental! Try your best to not judge them. Repeat back what they are saying. Respond so they understand that they are being heard. Reassure them that they won’t feel like this always! Ask them if they have a plan. Seek professional help!
Do not dismiss them! They have a lot to be grateful for. 2) Don’t call any names ( silly) 3) don’t say you are doing it to get attention. You will only push them away. Don’t be dismissive. 5) Don’t tell them to snap out of it. They are unable to. It’s unhelpful. It will have a damaging effect. Never say “ Go ahead and do it! “. I want to call their bluff. Someone puts a post on social media and someone will say go ahead!
5. Don’t tell them to “go kill yourself.”
4. Don’t tell them to snap out of it.
3. Don’t tell them it’s for attention. It is for a sort of attention. Maybe it’s mental health attention. Maybe it’s your time and affection. But don’t be damaging.
2. Don’t name call.
1. Don’t dismiss the one reaching out by lecturing them about gratefulness.
Been there. It’s devastating.
Salamalikoum sister
I have tried several times to die but my Lord would not let me die.
Ive heard and seen people online say – “u must have a weak faith, so go pray” thats also very common.
I was just listening to her everything whatever she was going through
– plan a crisis plan for what they will do next time they feel suicidal
But I’m trying my best to improve by myself learning many positive things
I’m having smiler thoughts since many years
– do not leave them alone. Talk to them to make sure they are getting the help
I have planned mine so many times but my GP and therapist came to my rescue and now I keep thanking Allah that I wake up everyday. Feeling suicidal is extremely hard feeling to overcome
Raeesah Sumun MashaAllah that you have a crisis plan. So proud of you! Please join us on my mentorship program The Mindful Hearts Academy as my guest. We would love to support you!
– seek professional help. Direct them to help they need like suicide hotline
aptly nice topic
MAY ALLAH BLESS YOU
thanks you for this
jazhakallah
– ask if they have a plan. If they do then consider situation is much more serious
– reassure them
– repeat what they are telling you. Make sure they know you are listening to them

As salam alaykum, may Allah reward you greatly for this valuable information.
Mariam Magda Thank you! Ameen.
Thanks for talking about this
Mental Healthy is real.
However many families can’t bring themselves to even have a conversation.
– don’t be judgemental
Our life doesn’t belong to us, it belongs to Allah. Life is very short. Shaytaan constantly whispers in our ear, we must overpower his satanic whispering. May Allah bless those suffering with such thoughts with the strength to get through it.
– don’t pretend you know what they are going through
– talk it over with them
But Alhamdulillah
My husband always says to me
Assalamuaalaikum, Gudnite. From Malaysia..
So true
The 5 things not to do when someone is suicidal- 1)Don’t dismiss them, 2)Don’t call them names, 3)Don’t say they are looking for attention, 4)Don’t tell them to snap out of it, 5) Don’t say well go ahead & do it.
Don’t ask them to snap out of it
Not tell them they are seeking attention.
I am always suicidal and for me not to act on it I signed a non suicide contract with my GP and therapist. My abuser always pushes me to the edge. And so my 12 years of abuse gives me so much of pain that ending your life seems less painful
Raeesah Sumun It’s very brave of you to share this. May Allah heal your heart. You may want to reevaluate your relationship if it’s making you feel so worthless- either learn to improve it or get out of the abusive relationship. My duas are with you
Take it very seriously
Do not dismiss their feelings
Salamu alaikum Dr Hala, can We dm you ?
