Does anyone else ever have shit thoughts

Does anyone else ever have thought of suicide?

Idk maybe my life is just all fucked up and I don’t know how to fix it or just completely start over. Haven’t really had any guidance and just went through everything on my own and had to learn.

Feels like I’m cursed sometimes. Lost my gf, in debt, shit jobs, I am just so tired. Don’t really have a big social circle or many people I can lean on, everyone is busy with their own life and I am kind of introverted anyway, just feel kind of isolated by where I’m at right now in life. I never imagined this to be where I would end up at this age back when I was a kid or teenager.

Every now and then I get thoughts or images of suicide, not like I want to do it but why would my own mind keep feeding me that, is it because I am stuck and there’s no way out or what…

.

Apparently it’s very common… I have my ideas on what might cause such thoughts to arrive, of which I think there are more than one cause.

Diversion therapy works on eradicating such thoughts from the mind, over a matter of days and weeks…

Diversion therapy can help to shift a person’s focus from their thoughts back to the outside world. By focusing on objects, people can divert their attention away from triggering thoughts and feelings, and eventually permanently.

Hope that helps… :smiling_face:

People are suicidal because they’re starting to wake up. We all live forever. If you can’t solve your problem here, you can’t solve it anywhere.

You’re having thoughts of suicide because all of the things you named for stressors are your valued anchors/constants.

You have to find a better constant.

I can think of one.

Oh also even if you find a better constant, loss is still going to suck.

Don’t expect it to heal overnight. Even your own body takes a couple weeks to regenerate flesh when you wound it.

Emotional wounds take a little bit more than just automatic healing.

I’m trying to avoid that stuff. Don’t take my advice.

Really good. Yeah I’m hoping these changes I am making in my life change things around for me but I don’t know until I’m in it.

Sounds like an adventure!

Made me think of this song:

Sometimes, surviving X amount of far is enough of a badge, depending on how much or how little you took it easy on yourself.

Best to be like this man… best to give zero f*cks!

Definitely me. Not scared because I simply lack the caring to be.

Nothing is more frightening than what I have already seen, the pure nothingness. Earthly things aren’t scary. Even if it were zombie apocalypse or nuclear. Except the ocean, I’d hate to get lost out on the ocean alone.

That’s just desensitization, numbness.

Yo, one time I swam out into the ocean from one beach on to a completely other one.

Oceans aren’t made for people… I daren’t go near open water, it’s not for me either.

To get lost in its vastness… imagine. :scream:

Would be absolutely terrible.

You think there is a correlation there with the desert?

You can’t drown or (very unlikely to) get eaten alive in a desert, though both are very inhospitable places where you can quickly die of thirst in… just try not to find yourself lost in either, I would say.

Truth. I wouldn’t want to be lost in either but if I had to choose I’d rather be in the desert than on the ocean. Especially since I’m from Las Vegas.

If you’re that scared of the sea, and it is the only Earthly thing that scares you, then maybe that’s where you should go.

How hard can it be to get a job as a hand on some ship, if you have no other means?
