If you feel like committing suicide you should tell an adult or call the suicide hotline, because there is always someone that cares about you. You just have to look for them.

Suicide is a tricky topic and should be managed with people who have training ! There are services that can support this if it's something you need ðŸ˜Å

www.d2lrevolution.com/no-suicide-zone for instance. National suicide prevention lifeline can be recommended
having a suicide chat room would be a great idea, as most of the time what cause one to lead up to the point of committing suicide is going to all their dark phases of life and not having anyone to talk with or share no form of empathy with them and since 7cups is all about providing active listening to person that need a listening ears I will strongly agree on the suicide chat room.

There are a lot of resources like professionals, foundations, and a lot of lines where you can call and they will help u
I think some great resources would include games that involve all the senses- sometimes drawing or simple games with music are great for calming the mind and relieving tension so one can open up and talk a bit about what's going on in life.

7 Cups of Tea is not a crisis line, unfortunately our listeners are not trained in this area. However I do agree resources should be available. This link has a list of hotlines around the world, I hope it helps. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/tcdQ3_MAa1rMU-7sf5hF-gw/htmlview?pli=1

Good resources are sites and hotlines where the people can call immidantky and where they get professional help.

If members are suicidal please refer them to: 1-800-273-8255 or www.suicide.org
International suicide hotline & Resources: suicide.org/international-suicide-hotlines.html
A list of local crisis centers, phone numbers for crisis centers and a detailed description of what a crisis center is and how it helps in order to decrease the stigma of mental illness and encouragement to ask for help because it's okay to do so. We all need saving sometimes.

The best resource I had when I was suicidal was the Crisis Text Line. They were easy to reach and very, very helpful.
Check out http://suicide.org/international-suicide-hotlines.html to discover nearby and/or online help that are available!

School Counselors, teachers, pastors, youth mentors, suicide hotline and safety networks, parents etc.
I´ve had an experience more than once about suicide and suicidal thoughts.. I´m willing to help people that are in the same situation, and I know how it feels when there´s nobody you could share your thoughts with. It might be fears of people´s reaction about your thoughts. That´s why I´m here to help you!
The number 1-800-273-8255 or www.suicide.org. Hotline numbers and websites. Supportive listeners who have strong experience in this particular area, links to their pages. And maybe a link to websites on how to find a professional in your area, or how to talk to your parents about suicide.

meditation works best when it comes to eliminating negative thoughts which include the suicidal ones.

Suicide Hotline, and perhaps this; https://www.afsp.org/preventing-suicide . There they will find helpful resources and other such things.
I'm not sure. People who want to kill themselves, should take a moment to think, reflect, relax, and get help.
People who want to end their lives often tend to use pills, knives anything sharp that can cut their skin. They can also think about drinking soap or even clorox and other chemical products.
The Audio version of the book-The power of positive thinking by Norman Vincent Peale .
The reason I suggest Audio is so the individual can play easily without the mind power and composure needed to read the hard copy

Writing your feelings down on a piece of paper and then ripping/burning the paper to release tension
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/) and their hotline (1-800-273-8255)
7 Cups Of Tea isn't a good resource, but suicidepreventionlifeline.org, crisischat.org, and imalive.org are some good resources for online live chats. If you want to talk over the phone, the suicide prevention lifeline number is: 1-800-273-TALK or 1-800-SUICIDE.
The Suicide Chat Room is a place to help yourself by helping others at the same time. You can also go to suicide.org or their hotline 1-800-784-2433 (general). They have more specific hotlines based on your specific problems as well. There are many resources in this world that are meant specifically to help you through your crisis. You are important.

Hotlines, help, trustworthy strangers that they can talk to and let things off their shoulders with.
You can always search for your local Suicide Hotline or call the National suicide hotline for all available resources located in your area.
This isn't on our referrals, but one that I've used personally for just chat that helped me a lot is http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/gethelp/lifelinechat.aspx
