Quiz: How Bad Are Your Suicidal Thoughts? (Self Test)

Some thoughts are loud. Others hide behind a smile. If you've ever wondered whether your suicidal thoughts are getting worse—or if you're just exhausted and don’t know how to say it—this quiz is for you. Based on tools like the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale and Beck’s Hopelessness Scale, it’s a gentle, psychology-informed check-in designed to help you understand where you are emotionally. You’ll answer 15 questions that reflect real-life struggles, and at the end, you’ll receive a message from someone who once felt the same way you do now. It’s not a diagnosis—but it could be a starting point. Ready to check in with yourself?
