To those of you that have suicidal thoughts - what stops you following through with it? Feel like I'm fighting a losing battle....over it.

Re: What stops you?
Just keep posting @straightnarrow and taking the steps towards wellness. There are others here who have felt the way you do at the moment, but life doesn't remain the same. In this moment you are not feeling hopeful at all, but that can change.
Sometimes it's enough just to "have a day" .... to go through the motions of getting up, eating, showering, etc and going to bed again at the end of the day .... breathe ..... with support and perseverance, things will change for you.

Re: What stops you?
I agree with lisajane wow what a brave question. I have had suicidal thoughts so often and have never been brave enough to ask straight out. I think you have some inner strength there coming through demanding for answers keep asking keep listening and be gentle with your soul sending you a huge hug

Re: What stops you?
have thought the same straightnarrow what if I fail what if I stuff it up would be a worse nightmare. reading others feelings about it really brings some relief for me

life is so hard. keep holding on, everyone does say that the feelings will pass... that things will get better. just got to hold on until the sun comes out again.

Re: What stops you?
Thanks Lisajane , I held on for four years believing that and still go to psychologist hearing this which I call "crap",.Bit like reading the horoscopes,trying to cling on to hope that life will get better.At the moment I know I should go to hospital because I am low and honestly don't know how I am going to pick myself up from this because I know I am at risk,because I can't see a future.However I have now given up on any treatment realising it's a no win situation I wish I didn't stop myself three four years ago when I started getting help...wasn't worth it.Somehow I am one who fell through the cracks.

Re: What stops you?
Sounds like one of your bad days @Former-Member.
Four years is a long time to have a succession of external circumstances causing you distress, but that doesn't mean it will remain that way. I have had long years of circumstantial challenges and distress. I encourage you to keep going. Life doesn't remain the same, but changes can take time. Healing takes time.
Please keep posting, and tell us more about yourself, if you feel up to it. We would like to get to know you.
🌷💜
