  • Talking about wanting to hurt or kill oneself
  • Trying to get pills, guns, or other means to harm oneself
  • Talking or writing about death, dying or suicide
  • Feeling hopeless
  • Experiencing rage, uncontrolled anger or seeking revenge
  • Acting reckless or engaging in risky activities
  • Feeling trapped, like there's no way out
  • Saying or feeling there's no reason for living
  • Abusing drugs or alcohol
  • Withdrawing from friends or family
  • Having dramatic changes in mood
  • Sleeping too much or too little
  • Giving away possessions     


Veteran specific risks

  • Frequent deployments
  • Deployments to hostile environments
  • Exposure to extreme stress
  • Physical/sexual assault while in the service (not limited to women)
  • Length of deployments
  • Service related injury


If you are experiencing any of these warning signs, the first thing to do is ask for help.

The hotline is staffed around the clock, 365 days a year by trained professionals who know how to get you the help you need.

Here is a list of mental health resources you can contact for help.
