In The Strong Girls club book, we tell a lot of stories about our lives and open up about things we go through.
We give a lot of advice, but still receive questions on many things and still have a lot of questions ourselves on putting that advice to...
This is my advice on dealing with suicidal desires and finding the desire to live again.
As someone that has dealt with them for years, I understand the feeling very well of just wanting to die EVEN if things get better. I'm always praying for you guys.
I love you so much.

Here is my advice:
1. Recognize the root of the feeling(s):
Why do you want to die?
Is there just no desire to live?
Are you struggling with a mental, physical, emotional and/or health issue?
Are people in your life making you want to die?
Is it all of the above?
2. Get rid of issues:
Once you recognize the reason(s) why you are feeling this cut out as many of the things making you feel this way as possible.
I understand not all of it you can control. Focus on cutting out the things you can influence and/or control.
For example, if you are being bullied to the point of wanting to commit suicide, read our chapter in here on bullying.
SGC is always here for you.

3. Seek help:
Once you have gotten rid of any issues you can handle on your own, please try to seek help.
Suicide is serious and not something any of us should try to deal with by ourselves.
