Suicidal thoughts can happen due to some situation or the other. You have to handle yourself in that situation. Mostly it happens when a person starts feeling helpless and worthless. When he does not see any way out and there is a lack of support system, he takes such steps. There are some signs, which can be identified with proper understanding and suicide can be prevented.

Avoid mental fatigue

In the last few years, the emotional support system is rapidly decreasing. There is no time, do not waste time, mind your own business, such thinking has increased. The competition to do well in career and the ambition to do even better is a big reason, which needs to be understood in time. In fact, the desire to achieve more tires out the mind badly. A tired mind soon becomes a victim of boredom. Life starts to seem monotonous and in this sequence depression can sneak up.

Take care in your daily routine

• If you feel tired, cannot exercise, then at least practice taking long breaths.
• If you do not feel like working, then take the initiative to learn something new.
• Keep the mind engaged. Talk to people. Try to connect with unknown people.
• When negativity starts dominating
• Change the current environment.
• Do not isolate yourself.
• Come out of the closed room.

Avoid drug abuse. Drug addiction will feel good in the short term but later negativity can dominate even more.
Compromising with sleep can increase trouble.

Increasing risk among youth

The data of National Crime Records Bureau shows that the rate of suicide among youth is increasing tremendously. People are surprised when talented and educated youth also commit suicide. But it is necessary to understand that doing well in studies and career is a different thing and overcoming adverse circumstances in life is a different thing.

This is the right time to encourage the ability of children to face problems or cope with them. There is a need to develop the understanding that overcoming difficulties is also a big victory.
