This is a message to me when I am suicidal. I hope you will also take it as a message for you when you are contemplating suicide. Hope it helps us both.
Dear suicidal friend,
This is bad. Well, it’s not just bad. It’s horrific. It’s horrific. It’s self sucking. It’s suicide at its best. He is lonely, the pain is unbearable. I know what that feels like. I’ve been there several times before. I know how impossible it is to feel one more moment in mud and mud. I wrote about suicide During And the During And the DuringHowever, it doesn’t stop me from feeling suicidal again. It doesn’t stop me from wanting to kill myself. No amount of knowledge removes suffering.
Reasons for contemplating suicide
There may be very good reasons for your suicidal tendencies today. You may have lost something. You may have lost someone. You may have been through something painful. I get it. Almost anything can launch a file depressionAnd the Depression can lead to suicide. None of this is your fault.
Then again, there may be no reason at all for you to be suicidal. Perhaps you woke up one day, and perhaps the desire to die simply passed you by. While there are many reasons why a person may be tempted to commit suicide, cerebral dysfunction – or what appears to be no reason at all – is one of them. None of this is your fault.
Suicide Lying about the world being better off without you
You may feel that the world would be better off without you. It is common for people to feel so bad about themselves that they believe that everyone else would simply be better off without them. But the thing is, that’s not true. This is a lie that suicide tells you. This is it your brain hates you. This is a disease that hates you. This is made-up self-hatred. This is not real. The people in your life want you here. I want you here. You have a unique spark to announce this world. The world wouldn’t be better off without that spark. If the people in your life know about your pain and can talk to you openly about it, they will tell you that they’d rather do anything to speak at your funeral.
What do you do when you think about suicide?
I often talk about goals and milestones, break things down into manageable parts, and then celebrate completing every little thing along the way. I know that for now, that seems impossible. I know that any goal at all seems very difficult. I know that feeding yourself, bathing, and cleaning your house is out of the question. this is good. I just want you to do two things. I just want you to keep breathing and take another step.
I understand that continuing to breathe sounds like a recipe for pain, but there is more. I also want you to make a plan to change your pain. This is correct; I said they change your pain. I can’t promise less pain no matter what, but they change something, regardless. When pain is consistent and never ending, even the possibility of change brings it hopefull.
You can change your pain by:
- Contact the helpline
- Call your doctor or therapist to schedule an emergency appointment
- Call your loved ones and tell them what’s going on and that you need help
- Go to hospital for inpatient help
- Using PRN medications to relieve pain or even sleep through some (note: this should only be done with a doctor’s supervision and likely not be a good choice for those with a history of addiction).
- Finding a way to get rid of some of these feelings from you, such as doing or making art
The old saying from Alcoholics Anonymous is really true: “If you always do what you always do, you always get what you always get.”
You have to do something different to change your pain. And if that doesn’t work, do something different again. Keep doing something different until something moves, even just a little bit.
suicide hit
Ultimately, severe suicide can only be overcome with medical treatment. It may only be controlled by changing the medication or adding medication. and I know that. But this can take some time, and you have to keep breathing until it does. You have to. You are You have to me. Because while I know it doesn’t seem like it now, your voice, your perspective, and your uniqueness matter. There is no other you on this planet.
I wrote about Why you should be fighting depression and suicide for the next 40 years here. Read that again. Remind yourself why life is worth the fight. Remind yourself that life didn’t just exist in this pain. Remind yourself that there was a time before this pain, and there will be a time after it, too. While this pain sounds like it will be around forever, it just won’t be. This is just another lie.
When you overcome suicide
And I’m here to tell you that you have a beautiful soul. You have a beautiful mind. You are beautiful. I’m keeping these facts for you because I know you might not believe them now. But you will. You will understand these things again. I promise you.
In the end, death is not the answer. Death is not what you really want. What you really want is an end to the painful suffering. I understand that, and I want it for you, too. That’s why you have to work on changing the pain. Changing the pain is the first step in overcoming suicide. I know you can do that. I’ve done it before. You will do it again. Currently.
I love you. Spends.
