what do you do if you are thinking about killing yourself but you are nervous to to talk about it.?

Answer 1

Depends what you want, I think. If, deep down inside or not even deep at all, you want to live, get help before it gets out of control. There are many ways to approach this issue and I think that at least a few approaches should be tried before you act on your suicidal thoughts.
Someone mentioned a 1-800-suicide. I've found that their rate of helping isn't 100%. Sometimes they've made me feel better, sometimes not.
Someone also mentioned the clergy and I'd just like to say that it would be wise not to expect a sure thing. I went to my preist in a time of crisis and he said that he wasn't trained to deal in the sort of thing. About others, I don't know. That's just what he said. He was still willing to converse, though, but he urged me to also find assistance elsewhere.
There's always 'talk therapy' with a psychologist or counselor, which may be hard, but I think it effectively helps to explore why you have these thoughts and things to do to help alleviate them. It may be hard because you're already nervous, but it may be worth it. I think this is a better option than the other two because you have one single person who is trained in the area. Well, it's better if you can afford it and you find someone you work well with.
Then there's psychiatry. Psychiatrists are the medical people in the world of mental health. They can prescribe medications like the anti-depressants we see in ads on tv. They also diagnose. Before taking a med, be aware that all medications effect everyone different, that you may need to try a few before you find the one that works for you, and that they all have side effects. I've had side effects from meds that weren't on the label. Just do your research so that you're comfortable with what you're taking. And get a good dr. You may not be able to tell right away, but some of them just suck. They don't listen and don't value your take on what's going on. Just because they have an MD behind their name doesn't mean they are all-knowing. You know your body best.
And then there's studying psychology yourself. This way you get to do all the footwork and make all the interpretations from the texts. I did so for awhile when I thought I wanted to be a psychologist. I still do, but only in theory and not in practice. But enough about me. By studying psychology you learn all the possible (or just documented) causes and effects of certain ways of thinking. You learn more, but that's enough for here.
If you have any questions you want to ask me, go for it. I'll respond. Or if you just need to talk...
And I wish you the best. I personally think that the hardest thing in life is not wanting to live it. No one should have to endure the accompanied thoughts and feelings.

Answer 2

You are not alone with your thoughts. Many people go through this same thing everyday. You may even hear a little voice inside telling you to do it. There is a medicine that the doctor can put you on that will help these thoughts diappear, but you have to tell them what is going on. If you seek help you will get it. Look how far you have already come. You are not in denial that you are having these thoughts. That is good you know you need help. I too use to have thoughts of killing myself or just wanting to hurt myself in some way to make me feel better. I would hear a voice telling me to jump out of a moving car and next thing I know I would be reaching for the door handle and snap back to myself when my hand touched it. It scared me because I thought I was going crazy. I found out that I had a chemical imbalance called bipolar. The doctor put me on a medicine called cymbalta and let me tell you I feel like a different person now. I don't hear the voice anymore or feel like hurting myself. I don't even get angry as much. What ever you do, don't kill your self or even try to. Talk to your doctor about what is going on in your life and get the help you need. Talking about it will make you feel a lot better. you can even email me and talk to me if you would like. I will not ask your name I will just talk to you. Please just do something soon.

Answer 3

Start asking yourself some questions. Mostly the why questions. Its more likely than not that your nervous because you'll think others may think something is wrong with you or similar reaction, but truth be told, something is wrong and its nothing to be ashamed of. I don't honestly believe there are many people out there who have not contemplated it at one point or another in their lives. My suggestion is to think about things you enjoy, like, and love (even the smallest of things, like chocolate chip cookies for example) and try and get some help. There really is so much more to life than what your going through that's making you feel this way. Let it go and start living again!

Peace be with you.

Answer 4

When I was thinking about killing myself I suffered quietly for a long time. Then when it got unbearable I finally saw a free doctor at the mental health clinic and it began to get better.

I waited too long and hurt for too long. If I could do it over again I would go get help much, much sooner and make the rest of my life better faster.

Good luck.

Answer 5

You need to talk about it with someone. You may find someone on this forum to help you, but I'd suggest you go to someone in the clergy. They are very good with this type of problem, and it won't matter if you're not religious. It is a problem and if you are having these thoughts, please make yourself talk to someone. The nerves will go away when you do.

Answer 6

I strongly recommend that you call a suicide hotline, where you'll find a trained & caring counselor who will understand your nervousness.

Here's a good one to contact: 1 (800) SUICIDE (784-2433)

Answer 7

Call the suicide hotline. They don't know who you are so you can talk freely. Also keep in mind that you only get one life.
