How do i stop my suicidal thoughts and actions?

Answer 1

Find someone like a good friend that will care for you and will be there for you. You are not the only one trying to get it out of your head. You are not alone. You are loved. If you need anything email loving folks who will listen. Many are going through the same thing and have those thoughts.

Something to try is meditation. When the thoughts come, just choose to focus on nothing at all. If that doesn't work, then choose a word or idea and just focus on that. Say that one word over and over if you need to. Keep yourself distracted that way until the strong emotions pass or you fall asleep.

Make sure you are eating well. Force yourself to eat if you must. You need the protein and even a certain amount of saturated fats in order to make the neurotransmitters you need. Start taking B complex if you are not already. You may want to try St. John's wort and/or SAMe. These are natural supplements which some claim helps depression. Surround yourself with loving, positive people and make yourself do the things you used to enjoy. Get into the habit of going on a walk each day. Try to get plenty of rest. If you cannot sleep, then exercise until you are exhausted or try meditation. When in the middle of a crisis, tell yourself that you will be alright and that it will pass.
