Every year, World Suicide Prevention Day is observed on September 10 in order to reinstate the commitment and action to prevent suicides.
The International Association for Suicide Prevention collaborates with the World Health Organization as well as the World Federation for Mental Health to host World Suicide Prevention Day.
In an attempt to prevent suicide and self-harm during the ongoing pandemic times, here are 11 powerful quotes to prevent suicidal thoughts:
1. “Suicide doesn’t end the chances of life getting worse, it eliminates the possibility of it ever getting any better.”
2. “If you want to show me that you really love me, don’t say that you would die for me, instead stay alive for me.”
3. “Place your hand over your heart, can you feel it? That is called purpose. You’re alive for a reason so don’t ever give up.”
4. “When you feel like giving up, just remember the reason why you held on for so long.”
5. “You have the power to say – This is not how my story will end.”
6. “You may not understand today or tomorrow, but eventually God will reveal why you went through everything you did.”
7. “Suicide doesn’t end the pain, it just passes it on to someone else.”
8. “Be like the lotus, we too must rise from the mud, bloom out of the darkness and radiate into the world.”
9. “The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.”
10. “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly. The moment you’re ready to quit is usually the moment right before a miracle happens. Don’t give up.”
11. “Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.”
