The goal today has been to stay busy. Just stay too busy to think. I've written a lot, an entire chapter and another small short story all in one day. I cleaned the kitchen and the bedding for the guinea pigs. I took the dog on two walks today and will probably go for a third. I just can't let myself stop, at the very least think. I have to stop thinking, I just have to. My thoughts have gotten so savage and unrelenting.

I'll keep it short, but I just wanted to say something. Maybe someone has answers. Or maybe I just wanna hear from a friend. __________________ "Give him his freedom and he'll remember his humanity." |

I see you posted this yesterday. I hope today finds you in a better place. You mentioned having suicidal thoughts. Are you familiar with this article from PC's archives:
How to Survive Suicidal Thoughts

Just saw a brief article online about an anti-thought technique: What you do is focus on something - anything - say a chair or table, and start describing it to yourself. Like, it has 4 legs. It's made of wood. It's about 30" tall, etc. This should pull your focus away from whatever you were focussing on before.

Writing helps the most, by far, Rohag.
Thanks for all of the love, everyone. I really appreciate it. Today's another hard one and I've done nearly nothing but waste time online. It's more difficult for other reasons, though, so I suppose I can manage the depression a little today. Lesser of the two evils and all that jazz. Anyway, like I said, thanks for being here for me. I really needed it. __________________ "Give him his freedom and he'll remember his humanity." |

How are you today? I hope today has been easier. I found that once I forgave myself for the suicidal thoughts, the thoughts have decreased. I also got busy and went to grad school and religion.
Try to write more but write about happy thoughts and feelings. It does help. I have been writing about my studies and it helps even when I get frustrated with what the instructors want. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
