00:00:03,340 --> 00:00:06,700
dad . I feel 

3
00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:10,140
lost . Like I'm 

4
00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:12,420
staring into a black void and it's 

5
00:00:12,420 --> 00:00:14,440
sucking me . Uh huh . 

6
00:00:18,140 --> 00:00:20,307
No matter which direction I turn there 

7
00:00:20,307 --> 00:00:24,200
it is the blackness . It's overwhelming 

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,050
me , smothering me . 

9
00:00:28,340 --> 00:00:30,560
Mm That 

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,080
are you having suicidal thoughts ? 

11
00:00:36,740 --> 00:00:37,160

12
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:42,760
Thank you . Mm . 

13
00:00:43,140 --> 00:00:47,030
When a loved one is in immediate danger 

14
00:00:47,030 --> 00:00:49,130
of self harm , it's important to 

15
00:00:49,130 --> 00:00:51,352
separate them from over the counter and 

16
00:00:51,352 --> 00:00:53,620
prescription medications , firearms , 

17
00:00:53,630 --> 00:00:57,290
sharp objects , ropes and structural 

18
00:00:57,290 --> 00:01:00,100
hazards such as high windows or bridges . 

19
00:01:00,110 --> 00:01:01,990
That could be used as a means to 

20
00:01:01,990 --> 00:01:04,470
attempt suicide . Staying close to your 

21
00:01:04,470 --> 00:01:06,850
loved one helps ensure their safety . 

22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,320
Ask for help from others , such as a 

23
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:11,780
mental health provider or Chaplin . And 

24
00:01:11,780 --> 00:01:13,891
if you feel the situation is urgent , 

25
00:01:13,891 --> 00:01:17,350
call 911 It's important to note that 

26
00:01:17,350 --> 00:01:19,720
the risk for self harm increases when a 

27
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,776
distressed person has easy access to 

28
00:01:21,776 --> 00:01:24,000
lethal methods such as firearms or 

29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,470
prescription medications . Three out of 

30
00:01:26,470 --> 00:01:29,140
four airmen suicides involve the use of 

31
00:01:29,140 --> 00:01:31,250
a firearm . And these suicides are 

32
00:01:31,260 --> 00:01:33,890
often impulsive happening within five 

33
00:01:33,890 --> 00:01:35,668
minutes or less of the airman's 

34
00:01:35,668 --> 00:01:38,390
decision to make the attempt . Contrary 

35
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:40,880
to popular belief , most people who 

36
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,280
cannot immediately access their chosen 

37
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,520
lethal method will not try another 

38
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,100
method , properly stored firearms . 

39
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:50,211
Take more time to access and could be 

40
00:01:50,211 --> 00:01:52,378
just the delay . You need to save your 

41
00:01:52,378 --> 00:01:54,670
loved one's life . This is called time 

42
00:01:54,670 --> 00:01:57,460

43
00:01:57,460 --> 00:02:01,190
