Recently ive been having a lot of suicidal thoughts, it’s all I can think about. No matter what I’m doing during the day it keeps popping up in my head and especially at night when I have trouble sleeping. I can’t stop thinking about it and have even googled and searched the different ways to do it.
How does everyone else stop these thoughts and urges?? |

I was exactly the same. All that helped me was medication (ssri's). Depends on where you are. If deep down you don't want to attempt remember that and remember your reasons for not doing it. If you do want to deep down, that can be harder (not to say it's not hard either way, it definetly is). I also watched this video https://youtu.be/J20V1qo87KY

Thank you for your reply and the video.
I think most days deep down I don’t want to. I don’t want my life to end just this current one if that makes sense. I feel useless and a burden and just feel like if I wasn’t here then everyones lives would be better. On the days when I’ve just had enough and don’t see the point in carrying on anymore, I feel like that’s the best choice and it scares me how it’s always on my mind I might do it |

When someone is depressed, these thoughts and urges are very common. This is a common topic in several PC forums. You are not alone.
I use distraction a lot, directing my attention toward other things. Please call for help or go to an ER if the urges become overwhelming. I hope you can keep yourself safe from harm.

I hope you are feeling better with all these wonderful replies.
People care and you matter. I get where you are at times but I’m fearful of death. I also really want to figure my purpose for having these mental health issues. Has to be more than to make me think I’m crazy all the time. We can get through this. 🌟 |

I used to be deeply disturbed, and sometimes still am, by suicidal thoughts. What has helped me is viewing them as a symptom like having a really bad headache. Am I stressed out? Am I taking care of myself? Sometimes they just come out of nowhere. I take a deep breathe and try to let it go.

Thanks everyone for replies. Sorry I haven’t responded until now. I am on medication but I’m not sure it’s helping.
I don’t have anyone I can talk to. I’ve tried counselling before in the past and I’m currently on the waiting list for it again. I try and do meditation/ mindfulness things but my mind always wanders, relaxation breathing does helps when I get myself into a panicky state tho. My mind keeps racing and I just want to shut it up. I keep thinking about the past and things that has happened and things I wish I could change. I just feel so down and alone. Every time I start to feel happy something happens. It feels like I don’t deserve to be happy |
