Please keep this in check. If your not seeing a therapist make an appointment or talk to someone you feel comfortable with to discuss. Here’s an important article about this- https://www.intrusivethoughts.org/?topic=suicide Don’t let this slide, if it’s getting worse and you’re having troubles. Our brains work differently and we need to be fully aware of how it’s affecting our day to day functioning.
Please let your therapist know you are thinking in this manner, there is absolutely no shame or stigma anymore when it comes to mental health. You come first. I wish the very best for you. Hang in there.
Thank you, I have just started therapy and plan to give it a good go. I don’t want to give up.
I tried committing suicide once. I did not succeed. I regret trying too. I now know I was not in my right mind and needed to be somewhere safe. I checked myself in to inpatient which was the best option for me. I hope you can make healthy choices for yourself and know that suicide isn't an answer.
When you start to think about writing a note put your pen or pencil down. Take some deep breaths. Go outside, be with nature and just let all your feelings out. Scream, cry, whatever. The last thing you want to do is write the letter and then think the next step is perfectly fine and going thru with you plan. That’s what I did and being outside has really helped me. I hope you get the help you need!
I need a space to breathe and rant and get stuff off my chest so this is what I’m using this for now. I hate being angry. I hate it so much cause I always feel like I have less control over my thoughts and feelings and it makes me feel like I have no control over possible actions etc. which makes it really hard with harm ocd. But it feels like an endless loop, because my ocd is so frustrating it makes me angry, and that makes me feel less in control, so the circle continues. It sucks feeling like if anyone knew what it looked like sometimes inside your head, maybe they wouldn’t love you and they wouldn’t see you the same way. I feel so lonely and hollow that days. I have so many “friends” but they all make me feel more lonely, cause everything is so superficial and pointless and sitting with them just makes me feel like I need to withdraw deeper into myself because they don’t get it and they don’t really want to get it or care. I want to scream and cry cause I can’t control anything. I can’t stop the people I love from dying one day, I cant stop time, and I can’t keep things the same forever. I’m so tired of doubting everything about myself. Am I a pedophile? Am I a danger to my loved ones? Am I psychotic? Ya da ya da ya da. This endless anxiety I have it feels like it’s slowly killing me and it’s making me depressed. I can’t sleep. I haven’t slept for two nights and I mean like at all. I forget to eat I get so anxious and either way I sometimes feel so nauseous I don’t want to eat. My family doesn’t really get it, to them ocd is always just an excuse, or it’s for drama. I have tried to ease myself into the idea that maybe everything is chaos. Bad things happen to good people everything has an end, etc. it’s much easier said than done. If life is an ever changing stormy sea of waves than I’m barely clinging onto anything.
I can’t figure out if I’m really suicidal or just obsessing over the thought of it. Im to scared to even do it. I don't know if this is my OCD or what but for the past week or so it's been really bothering me these thoughts that I am on edge, scared. I haven't eaten in 3 days. I have imagined every single way of doing it, and everything and it makes me SICK. It feels like an urge at this point. I start to feel like maybe I could actually do it, then I feel myself about to go into a panic attack. I already feel derealization where this world doesn't feel real and nobody seems real to me, and my family feels like strangers and I'm just really scared. I feel very scared. I don't physically feel like I'm "here." I feel like my mind is lost. I feel like I just want to be at peace and then I think I’m seriously suicidal and the cycle just keeps repeating itself. Im sick to my stomach and terrified.
This is the first time I think of suicide like this, I’m so tired of OCD and DPDR, seeing everyone getting along together while I can’t even get in touch with my true self, I really miss my true self and I can’t handle things anymore, I’m so triggered, sensitive, and tired of everything, and the worst thing is that I’ve always kept my mental illness secret from others and always trying my best to not show it and fake a good mentality just so I don’t get labelled as “insane” , I’m so tired of trying to calm things down and the voices in my head won’t leave me alone, I’m seriously thinking that the only solution is to take my own life and it’s making me so sad that I had to go through this and think this way, my life is miserable
