There's no right or wrong way to talk about suicidal feelings – starting the conversation is what's important.

Who else you can talk to
If you find it difficult to talk to someone you know, you could:
• call your GP – ask for an emergency appointment
• call 111 out of hours – they will help you find the support and help you need
