have u ever felt depressed n had suicidal thoughts 1day...then u felt like u overcame it after a while........

Question

Part A)

I have to admit that i did think about sucidial thoughts for about a week last month...right now i feel ok...like it almost never happened. I don't really understand why I'm like this. I don't know if i really want to die or not.

Part B)

I really do feel ashamed talking about this with my counselor. I know that by law, that if I show a risk orf postiental danger to self or others then that has to be reported. Whicih is why i don't talk about 'suicide' in front of her, I talk about being down or somewhat depressed. I don't want to end up in a psych ward. I have to admit that I'm honest about my emotions thou. I just leave out 'suicide'. So am I telling the truth or am I lying to her? Should she be told more?

Part C)

I really don't know how to get rid of these suicidal felings. A couple of times the thoughts got so bad they scared the hell outta me....I envisioned myself just hanging from a closet and others just holding a gun and pulling the trigger............

Serious answers please!!! This si serious stuff!!!

Answer 1

A) Your not the only one who has ever had suicidal thoughts, and you wont be the last. But there have been plenty of people who have overcome it. I am not saing that its easy but its possible to get past it. I have been there myself. I just try and think of all the good in my life what i have to live for, who it would effect if i did do somthing.

B) In my opinion you should tell him/her. Its not like you've held the razor to your wrist. as of now they are just thoughts, and thats why you visit with them they are supposed to talk to you and help you through these situations.

C) Are you on any kind of anti depresents? if not you need to ask about getting on some. Just think of how many people would be hurt if you did do somthing to hurt yourself.

my prayers are with you, I hope anything i have said will help.

Answer 2

I have never had a sucicidal thought. I suffered from cancer and had to endure 16 abdominal surgeries. It took everything I had not to die, so no I have never thought about committing sucide. On the other hand, I have a daughter who has attempted it 8 or 9 times and I have been the one to discover her after most of her attempt. I had to keep her alive until help arrived. That is something that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

I had an 8 year old child discribe sucide to me once in a way I thought as astounding. She said it is like an earthquake. It starts by effecting the imediate family, then as the ground shakes a little more out from the center, it effects the friends of the family. Then as the shaking spreds even a little more, it effects the friends of the friends, Again the shaking is spreading a nlittle further from the center and the co-workers and the classmates are effected. Then friends of the co-workers and classmates are effected. It doesn't end. The effects just keep spreading further and further from the center until everyone feels the loss.

This came from my middle daughter at the funeral of my oldest daughters ex-boyfriend, who killed himself the night she broke up with him when they were seniors in high school. They had dated for 3 years.

I am sorry I guess I didn't really answer your question but I do think you need to speak with someone. When someone commits suciude, they effect more people than they will ever know.

Answer 3

You are lying to her, and short-changing your self as to how she can help you. You can't expect someone to help you when you omit important information. If you were sick and in the emergency room, would you leave out some of the most important information that would assist the doctors?? Thinking of suicide is just that, a thought. If you had a plan as I have in the past admitted to, is even worse. If you have attempted suicide that would the elevate the risk factors.
I've never ended up in the psych ward for my thoughts. But when I have thoughts of depression during the past two years, I will tell my therapist, no I've not had and thoughts of suicide. My plan was to take medication, that as a nurse I knew would do the trick. Since that time I have left nursing, just can't take care of everyone if I don't ultimately take care of myself.

Answer 4

Ahh I've been in your situation. It's hard, it really is... Even though I've been off meds and haven't cut myself in about 2.5 years (I was going through a really rough time for about 2 years as well) I still get thoughts like this.. I don't know if it's memories, or if the depression always lingers a little bit, but it hasn't gone away for me completely either. It's only certain days. I can't tell you if you'll ever get fully over it. I think that when someone suffers from depression, it stays with you your whole life, even if it's just slight feelings or thoughts. But I don't know if this is accurate. No one can really tell you if you're gonna feel this way for the rest of your life or not.

Answer 6

Tell your therapist! They aren't going to hospitalize you against your will or call the police or anything like that UNLESS your doctor really believes that you're in danger. Talking about my suicidal feelings with my therapist has been very useful, and comforting, and he's never once reported me and I've been pretty bad a few times. How do you make the feelings go away? Well, two things to remember: thoughts of suicide are usually anger at something that you direct onto yourself instead of that something (try to catch what you were thinking about immediately before you have a suicidal urge or fantasy), and they won't go away until whatever is driving you to have these thoughts is resolved; you can't just will them away unfortunately.

Answer 7

I went threw exactly what you are going threw.Well I will tell you that I have been like that for several yrs. now. I still go to counseling once a month. But I have also found out 3 yrs ago that I have Bipolar, and that I will live on a roller coaster the rest of my life. I have taken lots of meds that never worked until now. I am so much happier w/ my life now. I am taking Trileptal and it has turned my life around, completely. You should tell your conselor, they need to know that. And I have told several counselors I was going to do it and was never put into psych ward.(thank goodness) I did eventually go but it was the best thing that ever happened to me, it helped me see my self and my problems. But in order to get rid of the suicidal feelings you need to tell them. So they know how to treat you the right way. Keep your chin up! And Best of Luck to you

Answer 8

Every single person on this earth at some point in their life, has had breif thoughts about suicide. I have met a very wonderful person on a dating site, who just happens to be a "Psychologist!" And I have spent many hours with her on the phone talking about all kind of things. "suicide" comes from depression and thought of commiting that act, although at the time we feel that need, is nothing more than our own feelings about our current life and what we "Perceive" it to be. Some actually perform the deed, and that is sad, for they never sought true help, and are no longer with us....If one of my friends were to say..."I can't take life anymore, I just want to end it now!" I would say to them.."Here are your options..1. Load gun.2cock gun.3.Pull trigger! Or be Real, and face up to who you are and change what you need to change and continue to live and be my best Friend! OR...Pull the trigger and make fools out of both of us!

Answer 9

I know how you are feeling, I feel the same way quite often. You see I am Bi-polar and I take medication everyday to keep from feeling that way. You should tell a Dr. who then can prescribe you the meds you need to over come this terrible feeling of being depressed. They will not put you away if you tell them your feelings, but it could happen if you were to act on those feelings! Please get some help it's not your fault! If you would like to talk about it call me! (nine 1 zero) four 9 for- zero 6 zero 0, Adam

Answer 10

Well your not alone, lots of people have those thaughts, even me. Put they do pass. Sometimes the futility of life can be a real drain on our emotions. With me it's the fact that I'm getting old, and all of my immediate family have passed before me, including my wife. Now that the kids are all grown with their own families, it seems that there is no need for me to be around, but then one of the grandkids comes up, and asks for help with something and I feel better.
You don't sound as old as me, but I'm sure there will be something to give you a purpose in life too.
