So I Say I Don't Want to Kill Myself But I'm Not Convinced Posted: 10-05-04 19:16pm
I love my kids. I think I have a
relatively good life with a supportive
husband and a solid job and I see my value
in life.... However, I feel safer having
a "plan". I find myself looking for a
plan, no matter how logical it is. When
those fleeting thoughts fo suicide come in
I get scared then I feel comforted. Kind
of like they are saying "you won't hurt
this bad forever". How do I stop these
thoughts? How do I stop this cycle of
everytime any form of a trigger comes
along, my mind can't think of any other
option than suicide? Help!@@

Suicide Thoughts Posted: 10-09-04 18:33pm
The suicide thoughts as far as I have
viewed them and experienced them are
brought about because the old brain is the
segment that has the survival instinct and
it is not really wired for the situations
that it (we) encounter on a day to day
pace. This is why we feel safe with our
own thoughts and plans. I hope that my
feedback make sense to you.

My suicidal thoughts, stress, and
depression etc were helped hugely by
5htp(tryptophan)(100mgs a day) and a ces
amchine(dynamind or alpha-stim.Com about
$us 200).
Aside from actually helping they don't
have the side effects of presciption
meds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you have someone to talk to, if you
don't, get someone! Now! Are you
seeing a mental health care provider or a
general practioner, start by talking to
them and then see if you can get into talk
therapy. Talk therapy really help the
most because then you are expressing out
loud the thoughts you are having,
sometimes when you say them outloud you
realize how bad they sound. In the short
run I see no problem with
anti-depressants, for that matter in
certain people, I see no problem with long
term anti-depressant use. Every person
is individual, is different and you need a
good mental health prover to guide you in
your management of your mental health,
just as you would if you had heart disease
or diabetes.
Anytime you have thoughts of suicide,
you need to tell someone. If you are
thinking about it all the time, you
really, really need to seek help
immediately. I wish you the best of luck
and remember it is a medical condition not
a personal comdenation of your character
to have depression or be bi-polar. I am
bi-polar and know I have a medical
condition and it is not my fault. I must
take medication to maintain my health just
as a diabetic must use insulin to maintain
theirs.
