Right up front, let’s make a commitment to each other: This is a no-bullshit zone. We can’t afford to take things lightly, because this topic is about as heavy as it gets. Like a carrier ship filled with blue whales filled with bank safes filled with uranium rods kinda heavy. I’ll be 100% honest with you, and I need you to be just as honest with yourself: “Can you tell me why you wouldn’t kill yourself?”

If you don’t have an answer, you need to call 988 right now. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is completely free and confidential, so the only reason not to call is your pride. Don’t let it get you killed. Call right now. Like, literally now.

If you’re still here, I’ll assume that means you’re not completely sold on suicide. But the thoughts are there, and they’ve been getting louder. I’ll help you understand what’s going on in your head, why you’re feeling this way, and how to start feeling better. But at best, all I can be is a gateway to real-life resources. A life is lived one moment at a time, and a life is saved the same way. Have some patience, have some faith in yourself, and you’ll be able to make every moment count.

Below, you’ll find plenty more self-help and professional-help tools to set yourself up for success. So after you’ve given yourself a baseline understanding with our Gentlemental Health 101, dig in and find out what else works best for you.
