Get help now from a suicide hotline in France

If you are having suicidal thoughts, it can be hard to talk about. However, thinking about suicide is very common and you are less alone than you think. In France, there are 17 suicide hotlines (helplines and crisis lines) who are there to listen. Suicidal thoughts can look like any of the following:
  • Thinking there is nothing worth living for
  • Withdrawing from people in your life or cutting yourself off from others
  • Feeling deep and constant despair
  • Thinking about killing yourself
  • Losing your motivation to keep going
  • The thought of ending your life gives you a sense of relief
  • Looking up information about how to kill yourself
  • Feeling unwanted or like a burden to others
When you're suicidal, you're going through an emotional crisis. Being in crisis mode can give rise to intense emotions that are difficult to process. You may be overwhelmed and want nothing more than for the pain to end. It may not seem like it, but things can get better.
It's normal to feel like nobody will get you when you're feeling suicidal. It may even feel like you're beyond help. But crisis supporters don't think so. Crisis supporters in France want to help you and they are available 24/7 to lend a listening ear.
If you are having thoughts of suicide today, consider contacting a helpline in France for free, confidential help.
