Hover over each image for examples of obsessions and feared consequences.

I think I might be planning my suicide. If I kill myself, my family will not have anyone to provide for them. They could end up homeless.

What if I'm actually depressed and took more than I was supposed to without knowing it? I can't take the risk - I need to go to the ER.

I might lose control around sharp objects. I just keep thinking about all the ways I could possibly kill myself. I can't tell if I actually WANT to do these things. I need to know.

What if I used this exercise band to hang myself? I can't let myself be in any risky situations.

Is it possible I'm actually suicidal and just don't know it? What if I end up like my brother? I need to be sure I'm safe.
