Suicide is a problem that is often misunderstood. Many people do not know how to spot the warning signs of someone who may be suicidal. This can lead to tragic consequences. In this blog post, we will discuss the warning signs of suicide and what you can do to get help for someone who is in danger.

One of the most important things to remember is that suicidal individuals often give warning signs before they attempt to take their own lives. If you know what to look for, you can spot these signs and get help for the person before it is too late. 

Some common warning signs of suicide include talking about wanting to die or hurt oneself is giving away possessions.  Calling and telling someone goodbye, expressing feelings of hopelessness, showing signs of depression such as withdrawing from friends and activities, changes in eating or sleeping habits, or sudden mood swings. One sign that is so hard to spot is an unusual mood change for the better.  A child that has been seriously depressed and then all of a sudden happy can be a huge red flag.  Usually it means that they are at peace with their decision to die by suicide.  The only way to know if they are planning to attempt suicide is to ask.  It is not an easy question but the one question that can save their life.  

“Are you thinking of suicide?” 
“Do you have a plan?” 

If you see any of these warning signs in someone you know, do not leave them alone. Remove any firearms, knives, or other items that could be used to harm oneself. Get the person to seek professional help, whether that means making an appointment with a therapist or going to the emergency room. You can also call a suicide hotline in your area. Remember, you are not alone in this and there is help available.

Meet Tamara Glennon

 
Hey I am Tamara.  I am passionate about empowering moms to take control of their homes, their lives and their independence.  You see we are the gate keepers to our homes.  The place we spend so much time raising our families.  

So many homes are now filled with chemicals, toxins and are an unhealthy environment.  From the chemicals used to clean your home down to the chemicals sprayed on our clothing, we are living in a toxin filled environment.  

With all the information we are bombarded with it is even more difficult to filter through what is right and what is wrong.  It is frustrating when you want to make the best decision for your family but you can't find the answers.  

I was so skeptical at first that there was really a company with products that made those decisions easy!  I was even more skeptical that there was a HUGE income potential for just sharing how these products changed our life. 

Come join our group of fearless moms and learn how you can take back control over what comes into your home and how you can earn an income doing it.
