It comes then it goes....but it always returns
Posted , 5 users are following.
Why is it that I always resort to suicidal ideation? I come up with these ideas, that if something doesn't go as planned i can always off myself. I pray some days i will be a victim of a random shooting, a victim of train derailing and headed straight towards me, accidentally falling off the highest level of the parking garage, tripping and just happening to hit my head in a way there would be no return, a random act of terrorism, anything that would be out of my control so my family would still get the benefit of my life insurance pay out.
The i start thinking about how much my children would miss me, how much burden i would put on my husband if i were to be gone and i get very emotional. Which is a sign i want to live. Awesome right? but then....boom! These thoughts are coming at me once more. No warning, no control.
I then get so involved with these thoughts that i can sit at work for hours not realizing i'm not being productive until someone says something to me or i realize it's 4pm and i've accomplished nothing.
I cannot keep doing this.

Hi I could have written this as I do exactly the same. Now this might seem strange but I then trawl the suicide sites looking for painless ways to kill myself. After a while, and reading some awful stories along the way, I realise there are no painless ways to do it unless I have access to meds which would, but I havent.By this time I go right off the idea and feel a bit better.
I think taking small steps are helpful and using distraction is good too. The more you think about something the more you do if you get what I mean. Try and interrupt these thoughts as much as possible. I have been having suicide ideation so long and I am now quite old so probably won't do it now. x
