Re: Suicidal thoughts without intent
You have them too - what do you do to make it better?
I was talking to my psychologist yesterday and she said to take a deep breath, acknowledge the thoughts, challenge the thought and then distract myself with something else. I'm going to give it a go, and see if it helps at all. I'll try anything at this point.

Re: Suicidal thoughts without intent
Yes I have them too @p3p1t4 . It's hard for me to stop them, I wish I had an answer. I'll speak to my Psychiatrist about it. I have a feeling I'm going to try when I see him next week anyway, after being treated like crap by a MH Nurse I saw.

Re: Suicidal thoughts without intent
Surviving the Crash" on Ch-7 last night was good. Liked comments by John Brogden, Lifeline CEO:
- Suicide rate has NOT gone up this year because of the measures in place.
- he suffers "suicidality" himself [🤔 so there is a label for chronic SI] and he survived attempting himself, and glad. A testament to recovery....
- He had a quote:
"THERES ALWAYS FAR MORE TO LIVE FOR, THAN THERE IS TO DIE FOR!"

It's amazing, refreshing, a conversation I've needed for years. Young people should be free to talk about SI as openly as this (minus the colourful language perhaps :face_with_rolling_eyes:)

Re: Suicidal thoughts without intent
My Birthday is this weekend and i just realised I'm not consumed by, & fighting off strong SI plans (with visuals) for yrs. It's nice NOT being tortured this year, I'm thankful for peace. Not sure what's made the difference. Wish I knew. Quietly celebrating this year, just needed to tell someone. @ @ 🌈😃👍
