Just wondering here, how many of you in OT have or are having suicidal thoughts? (not account suicide! :P). I am, which could probably be attributed to my mental issues. Just things right now have reached a low like never before, I feel that there is no hope. I thought I was getting out of it for a couple of days, but the same damn people put me right back where I was before. So, is anyone else in the same boat as me? And, can you offer up and coping techniques?
I have in the past, but I'm so far from that right now. I LOVE LIFE! I've never been happier.
Also, a key to being happy in life is taking control of it. Don't let others drag you down. YOU are responsible for YOUR happiness, no one else but you. You choose your own destiny. If you want a happy, successful life, then it will be so. If there's a will, there's a way. If you don't have any will, there's no way.
Also, try doing things that raise endorphins. Exercise is key. Eating a healthy diet. It's also essential to get outside and get some fresh air. Try investing your time in things that sooth you. If you feel yourself thinking those thoughts, get up and go do something else like work out or a hobby you enjoy.
I have before and it's a serious and difficult issue. As far as coping, it sounds cliche but try to concentrate on positive things. I pictured how I could better my life in the future and how much better it would be then the present.
i have jokingly thought of ways i would die in the future.... never thought of killing myself for realsChiefvsGordon
Yeah same here. Scares the **** out of my friends though, especially because I got this thing happening where I dont pay attention when crossing the road, I just walk out no matter the traffic and if I get hit, then it was meant to happen, if not then I have not fulfilled my life yet. So far so good, and when I told my friend about this she freaked.

Yes, get a hobby. That's not meant as an insult, it's the perfect technique for dealing with depression. And everything else is the same for me as well. Depression in the past lead to suicidal beliefs but life is so much better now.
No, if I am ever depressed, I generally just have throughts about killing everyone else so I can be happy. I am being dead serious, it is a rare mental disease that is like a mix between sadism and a wierd overactive self defense mechanism. Just thinking about it makes me feel better. Though actually doing it is a different story!

I went through a phase such as that one. :P I'm still very defensive, but without the murderous thoughts. One step at a time. :)
I had thoughts like that in the past and it was getting really hard to cope with. But things changed soon after. My advise: keep trying to make things better and if, by any chance, your sucidal thoughts have anything to with what people think of you, just forget about them and focus on your situation and try not to blame yourself for everything that has gone wrong.

There was a time right after i purchased my house, had 2 car notes, a live in GF that didnt work and credit card bills that were stacking up. I was borrowing from one person to pay someone else off. I was pretty close during this point in life. I spent 3 years or so getting caught up and everything. Im not in debt but im still miserable in life. Not enough to kill myself though.

sounds like to me you might need a change of scenery, a vacation might remedy that. everyone gets or have been in depressing funks, you need to take time and spend it away from ppl so you can reflect on the problems in life. the mind needs time everyday to recollect. ppl are so programmed ( go to school/work, make meals, repair things in house, cook, study, put in some fun time with friends or games ) most times ppl are upset because they don't take time out for the mind to relax, even when sleeping the mind is busy. the mind needs a break and can often throw ppl into mood swings.
I used to have a lot of suicidal thoughts back in junior high. I was really depressed in 8th and 9th grade and I thought of suicide a lot. I was (stupidly) a self-injurer and it was just a really bad time for me...and I still don't even know why.
I'm better now though. I haven't had suicidal thoughts in a long time.
why yes i have, i mean when i was a crazy teen thinking i am at the top of the world and nothing can stop me which i still do hehe, i had suicidal thoughts when my world came crashing down on me heh
I had for the longest; ever since I was 14. I have never actually done it though, since I try my best to tackle my problems head on, and suicide is the ultimate form of running away. It's easy to run, but hardly rewarding.

Not exactly. There's a Jeffrey Ross quote from his recent special I'd like to use, but I can't find it on Youtube or Wikiquote. So instead, a clip from a game that deals a lot with fate and destiny.

I dont think I would make those kind of thoughts public considering that it may attract negative people.. I've seen it happen..
