When you start thinking about suicidal thoughts

A suicidal thought is defined as simply: thinking about taking your own life.
That's it. There are many self-destructive things people do that may kill them. Like take too much drugs/alcohol. Try to drink themselves to death. Yet self-destruction is something different. Although once you've walked down that road long enough you might encounter suicidal thoughts. It might also be the suicidal thoughts that cause you to go there.
I don't know. Sometimes I'm driving in my car and I just feel like going real fast and driving it off the overpass...but I don't.

When considering suicide/homicide there are 3 separate categories: Thoughts, intents,plan.
Intent is when you just have a passing thought of maybe it would be better if I were dead. And then the thought passes and that is the end of it. You can have this thought continually, but it is only a thought.
Then there is Intents, which is an intrusive thought that just won't get out of your head. This thought would be more like I want to die, there is no reason for me to be here. Also something like I am going to kill myself.
Plan is when you actually have a way how you want to kill yourself. Like Next friday I am going to hang myself in my back yard.
The further down you get in the cascade the worse off you are.If anyone you know has any of these thoughts, call the police!

i visit grant you a touch suggestion. i'm bipolar and suicidal ideas can come from melancholy, and rather some different issues. So it could be clever to tell your checklist the entire reality. My checklist advised me that merely by wishing you have been lifeless at distinctive cases is a suicidal theory b/c after the assumption you start to think of of rapid approaches out of this international.( yet that's rather not all the TIME) have you ever been checked for any forms of bipolar? this could be something to look into contained sooner or later. i'm no longer loopy, Mine is is extreme manic melancholy. I promise!

Well, to be quite honest I have attemted suicide so no one will be able anwser this better... It is when you start feeling as if you want yo die. And think about cutting and such. and when that doesnt work, you go and find a way that will make you die. Such as drugs. or guns or hanging your self. WHen you figure that out you know when your going to do it. And write a "suicide note" saying why you did it. And thats pretty much a suicidal thought, if you dont go through with it, but if you do, then its suicide.

having a plan on how to carry out the suicide is a BAD thing. If the thought of dying keeps you from living a normal life you need to seek immediate professional help.

A feeling of worthlessness. feeling like you would be better off dead. Not knowing how to cope with everyday life and wanting an out.
Feeling like you just can't please people especially the ones that matter the most. Not feeling good enough to contribute anything to the world.
i think most people have had suicidal thoughts at one time or another but can pull themselves out of the rut.
If you or someone you know have these feelings PLEASE talk to a help line or local hospital. there is heaps of help out there

suicidal thoughts, or "ideation", are thoughts of killing yourself - it's as simple as that. suicidal tendencies, aside from being a crap band, are... well, pretty self explanatory; they're inclinations to kill yourself (perhaps the occasional attempt). i have suicidal thoughts, all day, every day. they're actually very comforting, to me. an example: my father's dying, at the moment, of cancer. i'd like to beat him to it. it would save me a lot of hassle. this is both suicidal ideation, and the more pleasant side of it. i'm hoping that death will bring me peace. annoyingly, as an agnostic, i can't be certain (as if anyone can). yet ANOTHER thing that makes me want to kill myself! YA spellchecker's up there, too.

A suicidal thought is when you think of a way to kill yourself and end your life.
