Suicide Crisis: What to Do If You Cannot Call

Answered 13 September 2026 at 11:37 am PKT

This page explains what to do if you feel at risk of suicide, especially when you cannot make a phone call. It covers immediate safety steps, non-phone crisis options in Pakistan, and how to ask someone nearby for help.

I want to end my life soon by not drinking water, but I can't call a helpline because I'm

I’m here with you, and you do not have to call—typing is enough. Do one thing now: take a few sips of water and move to where another person is. Don’t stay alone right now.

If you cannot speak, show someone this message: “I’m not safe alone and may stop drinking water to hurt myself. Please stay with me and help me drink.” If you feel faint, confused, or physically unwell, go with someone to the nearest emergency department.

Reply with just one word: alone, with someone, or no-water-today. Then finish the sentence after “because I’m…” I’ll stay here with you while we handle the next few minutes.
