Dealing with suicide thoughts

Hello everyone

I wounder how you guys deal with suicide thoughts?

My friends, family and doctor knows that I have them, so don't worry.

I work out, I meet friends, I do a lot of things that makes me feel better in the moment, but the thoughts are always with me, sometimes in the background and sometimes stronger. And they scare the hell out of me! Also, they feel like an escape, like the most ultimate avoidance. And since I'm VERY hard on my self, they make me feel weak.

I am looking for like,, thought strategies.. How to look at the thoughts, how to talk to myself when I have them and so on.

All my love to you!

For you:

Some 'intuitive' - 'information' - About these thoughts - and their origins, and your ultimate purpose, your reason for living. I will shift your perspective. Enough of a shake and you will think differently. Read slowly, and reread again and again until you find the magic words contained within.


Some people might say, 'I have a right to die', when they are arguing the case for suicide. And while this is true, it is also true that the people on our planet need every bit of help and encouragement they can get from each person alive. In a certain sense, the energy of each individual does keep the world going, and to commit suicide is to refuse a basic, cooperative venture.

It is also true that persons in ordinary good health who often contemplate suicide have already closed themselves away from the world to an important extent. Even their physical senses seem blurred, until often they seek further and further stimulation. These same attitudes are apparent in a lesser degree to varying extents in period of mental or bodily illness or in unsatisfactory life situations. If you are such a person, however, there are also other steps that you can take. Project yourself into a satisfying future. Remind yourself that the future is indeed there if you want it, and that you can grow into that future as easily as you grew from the past into the present.

There is always a refusal to accept life on its own terms, where the personality itself has become rigid.

Your words -"they feel like an escape, like the most ultimate avoidance. And since I'm VERY hard on my self, they make me feel weak." Suicide is an acquiesce to violence, (self), and is always (the result of) power-less-ness, you see. There is no power in taking life, one throws themselves (mentally first) over to destruction.

Now, read the following very carefully (sit back and think):

The desire for suicide is often the last recourse left to frightened people whose natural impulses toward action have been damned up - intensified on the one hand, and yet denied any practical expression.

And if you do believe in reincarnation, (whether you believe or not does not change the truth):

...the personality may be led back (after death) to the events prior to the decision. Then the personality is allowed to change the decision. An amnesia effect is induced, so that the suicide itself is forgotten. Only later is the individual informed of the act, when he is better able to face it and understand it.

I do hope you understand what has been given. The thoughts can be relieved by service that feels good, action, expression, motion to be of help, not to you, but to another, along with the love you naturally receive back.

If you want to learn the value in life, then begin at once to teach another that same lesson and it will come back to you 10 fold. You teach what you have to learn. Those are magical words !

Namaste namaste87,

I deal with all intrusive thoughts in the same way. Firstly to expect them, and as soon as I'm aware if it to think to myself, or say out-loud "It's one of those intrusive thoughts again"

The quicker you can get to observing the thought itself; seeing it as a thought, rather than being carried off by the feeling of its meaning, or presence, the sooner you can see the back of it as it goes off on its merry way.

You're right it's draining and hurts. For me I'm fortunate that I only get intrusive thoughts as part of a panic situation, and working on those has made the biggest difference possible and intrusive thoughts are a pretty rare event.

Keep well. R.
