Here are some ways to ask your friend if they are thinking about suicide.

Remember: It is not as important how you ask, but that you ask.

  • I have been feeling concerned about you lately, how are you feeling?
  • You have been acting strangely lately, what is going on with you?
  • I’m concerned about how you are acting, how are you doing?
  • Are you thinking about hurting yourself?
  • Are you thinking about killing yourself?
  • Do you really want to die?
