The acronym ‘WAIT’ is one good way to remember how you can support another person who may be suicidal. It stands for:
Watch out for signs of distress and uncharacteristic behaviour
e.g. social withdrawal, excessive quietness, irritability, uncharacteristic outburst, talking about death or su***de
Ask “are you having suicidal thoughts?”
Asking about su***de does not encourage it, nor does it lead a person to start thinking about it; in fact it may help prevent it, and can start a potentially life-saving conversation
It will pass
Assure your loved one that, with help, their suicidal feelings will pass with time
Talk to others
Encourage your loved one to seek help from a GP or health professional

The origin of a phobia is usually associated with the emotions caused by a traumatic event from early life.

One of the roles of our subconscious minds, especially during our early development, is to ensure that we are programmed to avoid situations that put us in mortal danger.

Phobias are produced when the subconscious creates this 'instinctual' response erroneously. For example, a child whose parents are screaming at him because he has climbed onto a window ledge, may get a distorted impression of the dangers of high places.

Stress is a too familiar trait of our fast paced modern life. It can be caused by a number of factors such as elements of loss or bereavement, divorce, separation or the impact of long term illness or disability. Marriage, moving home, a new job or going on holiday can equally be just as stressful. Sometimes it is just the accumulation of small things, disappointment or life just not quite going the way you want.

Some stress can be healthy and everyone is affected by stress at some time of their lives. But when stress gets out of hand we lose intellectual control and begin to display symptoms of anxiety, depression or anger. Our mental and physical health is affected and we loose our ability to enjoy life and our relationships.

Feeling nervous is a natural emotion and for lots of people when kept in perspective, these feelings actually help to motivate us and focus our minds. However if these feelings become intense and overwhelming they can threaten our performance and even cause us to achieve below our true potential.

Exam nerves can affect anyone, no matter how clever they are or how much they’ve prepared. There is a great emphasis in today’s society to succeed and this is often used to measure an individual’s ability (e.g. for certain jobs, to drive a car, performance in the work place etc.) and the pressure of this can be overwhelming.
