• someone tortures

• due to physical torture, etc., can force them to do so.

Understand Suicide behavior

If anyone talks about suicide in any matter, feels depressed and his words make it seem that he is bored with life or does not want to live, then take his words seriously. If suddenly someone starts a drug or causes harm to himself

If he sleeps too much or does not sleep at all, then pay attention to his changed behavior.  Many times a person also finds ways to commit suicide on the Internet.  Also he can say goodbye to those whom he is close to in an unusual way.

Such people get angry very quickly which includes behavior like throwing things, banging heads on the wall or hitting themselves with something, crying, etc.  Observe such changes in behavior.

When such feelings come to your mind

Ask for help from your loved ones

If you are thinking of harming or eliminating yourself, then ask someone for help.  Although it can be difficult and risky to talk to anyone, it is important to talk.  Talk to someone you trust.  Talking makes the mind light and eliminates the thought of hurting oneself.

Get expert help

If you do not want to talk to yourself, you can take help of an expert.  Contact a psychiatrist and talk to your heart.  They will help you in facing these problems and maintain confidentiality.

Keep your mind busy

When something bothers you too much, try to keep your mind busy.  Get surrounded by colors and make paintings, watch a happy movie, express your feelings on pages and then tear or burn those pages.  Do the work that makes you happy, include exercise in the routine, press the stress ball, listen to music.

Stay away from bad habits

Stay between friends and family.  Do not be alone in any situation.  If you stay with people, bad thoughts will be away from your mind.  It can also happen that in the meantime you start feeling good and can keep away from bad thoughts.

Raise hands to help

Try to talk to such a person.  For this, they have to be assured that you will believe their words, listen carefully and try to find a solution.  Whatever he tells you will only be between you two people. Keep this trust in every situation. When conditions improve, prepare them to meet with a psychiatric counselor.

Keep them in front of your eyes or take them to a place where they feel good. Keep such things away from him from which he can harm himself.

Despite this, if they are not ready to talk, then talk to a psychiatrist in this situation. Apart from this, there are many institutes which help to get the victim out of this dilemma. They can call the helpline to talk about the person or tell them about their behavior, based on which the organizations help.

During the time of pandemic, people are also becoming more concerned about simple cold and cough.  People are also stressed about employment. Some had concerns earlier but due to the epidemic have increased now. Because of this, there is always a fear in them, due to which they keep feeling negative.

Crying alone, feeling shivering in hands and body, sitting alone, not showing any interest in activities that were previously very much interested, having their own anxiety and talking even when in the midst of people, lack of physical attraction and work  To go, not wearing clothes properly or showing any interest, etc. are symptoms of mental illness.

If someone shows these symptoms or he is repeatedly mentioning the issue of suicide, then pay attention to it and consult a psychiatrist.
