"Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact."
-- William James

If you're feeling suicidal, chances are you want relief from a pain that is too overwhelming for you to deal with at this moment. Consider this, relief is a feeling, and you cannot feel the relief you seek if you kill yourself.

Just because you feel suicidal at this moment doesn't mean you have to act on that feeling right now. With help you can feel better and you may no longer wish to terminate your life.
