how bad is it if i am thinking about suicide?

Answer 1

That's BAD. Please seek help before you do something silly. You dont say why you feel suicide is an option right now.

Answer 2

Well, If you're thinking about suicide I'd say you were feeling very distressed. (Stating the obvious!) So, do you know what has happened or been triggered in your life that may be causing these feelings? Sometimes it might be a disappointment, or being rejected can trigger feelings of worthlessness. Sometimes a change in life circumstances like getting married can trigger bad feelings (maybe of sexual abuse now that a person is in a permanent sexual relationship) I'm not saying this is your situation . It's just an example. Of course the feelings are JUST feelings (however powerful) and are a sign that you need to do something about them. Think of a physical pain - toothache for instance, it's a sign that the tooth needs attention. If you are suffering emotional pain you likewise need to give it some attention (without panicking and dashing off to see a psychiatrist. They are the worst people to see in my opinion as they just drug and shock people and get paid a lot of money for doing it. They don't actually cure people. I'll probably get a lot of flak for saying that but it's true. If they cure anyone it's by accident!) Maybe you could find a friend who would be prepared to listen to you without trying to tell you what to do. Or perhaps there are counsellors in your area who could help. There is an on-line site called www.rc.org where you can learn co-counselling with a friend. It is not a religious organisation. Remember your feelings are just feelings,emotional memories of past painful events. (even though you may not be aware of that) . If you can find someone who will not only allow you to cry, but will encourage you to, you will start the healing journey . Releasing emotions is the natural way to heal. But don't think that yelling at other people (without their permission!) will help you it'll just make you feel bad afterwards! See above website for further information. Don't kill yourself, we need all the sensitive people we can muster in this world to improve it. I send you hugs and appreciation for who you are. I will be thinking of you and sharing your pain. (I do believe thoughts have power) You may feel alone but you won"t be.I'll be there! I hope this doesn't sound pious. It's not meant that way. :-)

Answer 3

Thinking about it is NOT bad.
I have thought about it several times, which I am sure that many people have.
But, what I determined is that suicide is nothing but a selfish act.
If you want to commit suicide, you are only thinking about yourself and your own pain, as opposed to the pain you would cause others.
We ALL have reasons to live. The challenge, sometimes, is to look to find the reason to live.
People will blame themselves, if you were to do it.
People will get messed up by it.
Like the person that finds your body.
I have thought about this often. Even have the method figured out.
But, not worth it.
If you have these thoughts often, seek help.
Nothing wrong with talking to someone.
Especially if you are in a position like me, that you have no one else to 'talk' to.
They do NOT judge. Just try to help.

Hope my answer has helped.
Drop me a line....let's chat.
We CAN get through this period.
If, you do contact me, don't be discouraged...I am going on holidays for 2 weeks and may be a little hard to talk to during that time.

Answer 4

If you are, than three things are probably present:

You feel worthless.
You feel that the world is hostile toward you.
You feel that your future is hopeless.

If all three of these are true for you, then you are trapped in a spiral, and your mind is filtering all of your experiences through a very negative perspective. That's why you can't seem to see any light at the end of the tunnel.

If this is true, please remember: suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

There is ALWAYS a way. If you don't like you, you can change. You are where you are and you are what you are because of what has gone into your mind, and you can change what you are and where you are by changing what you put into your mind.

What music do you listen to? What TV or movies do you watch? What magazines or books do you read? What type of people do you hang around? What do you day-dream or fantasize about?

Change all of these inputs to positive, and your world WILL change.

SUCCESS!

Answer 5

Depends on whether you're seriously considering it, or just exploring the idea. Keep in mind that suicide might put a permanent end to your own problems, but it has a much more far-reaching effect on the people around you than you could ever dream. Suicide isn't something you only do to yourself, but to everyone who's ever met you and even people you haven't actually met. The key is to look outside yourself. Suicide becomes an attractive option when you are so focused on yourself and what's wrong in your world that you become obsessed and fail to the see the big picture.

Answer 6

Just to think about it? I don't think that's bad, but acting on those thoughts would be a huge mistake and it would be VERY bad. Look no matter what the problem is, you CAN live through it.

If you are terminally ill, I believe you should have the right to make choices about your end of life.

BUT, if you are a healthy person who has a chance, then I think you should STOP wallowing in your grief, or sadness, or misfortune. Get up and try and keep trying no matter how many times you get rejected, slapped down or fail just keep trying, that's what this life is all about! If what you have done in the past has failed for you, do something different! Just keep trying, and one day you will succeed. You will be rejoicing again one day, and you will know that if you had died, you never could enjoy that victory, or earned the right to be so very happy!

Dead is dead, if you believe in God, and you commit suicide, then you will never get to heaven. (Sorry, this is what I believe).

The thing about killing yourself, is you never know what you are going to miss! You never know what may happen tomorrow to make you happy and make you glad to be alive! No matter what the problems are, they cannot be so bad that you cannot find a way to pull youself back up and help yourself.

I know what I am talking about, I was young and I once attempted suicide with an over dose. When I woke up in the hospital, I realized that I was still alive, and I spoke to some counselors, that did help, but you know the one thing that struck me was the day that I walked out of that hospital, I felt the sun on my face, I heard the birds singing and I watched as a big pigeon crappped on a woman (in a Mercedes convertible) who was blocking the driveway in front of the hospital. I laughed, if I had died, I never would have seen the look of horror on her Merle Norman made up face as the bird's best work smacked her almost right between the eyes!

You know what, I have cried since then, but I know that I have changed my life now. I know that if I ever hurt myself, I would also be hurting people who have come to really care for me! Suicide? Not for me, and maybe it's not for you either, you never know until one day you wake up and realize that you are glad to be alive! There are people who will help you and talk to you, try to get some counseling, most places in the US have regional mental health centers that will even see you for free, if you do not have a job or any money to pay. Whatever is wrong, do you think it has to last forever? I say you can be the captain of your own ship! If you are not succeeding with life as it is, do something different! Try going to talk to a minister or Priest, ask them to counsel you.

If you are not a religious person, then maybe you could give that a try! If you have a problem with drugs, or alcohol or a cheating spouse or whatever the problem may be, there is a solution for your problem! Trust me, if you die, you will never know how good things can be for you there is a whole world of life out there waiting for you to join in.

Just please do not kill yourself, there are people in this world that you don't even know that may love you one day!

a lot of people think about suicide, so you're not alone. But it isn't healthy thinking. You should tell someone you trust that you are thinking about suicide or go to an emergency room or call 911. Things might seem bad, but they do get better with time.

Answer 9

Suicidal thoughts and tendencies are something that should be taken seriously. However, suicide is a very drastic action. Take some time, call someone, and perhaps take five minutes of your life to read this:
