Jumping in on your thread @utopia. I hope you don't mind. I need to know if suicidal thoughts ever leave. They've been with me so long. Today in my group we were walking and while I was by myself I was constantly being triggered by small stuff. I saw a grandmother my age with her grandchild and all I could think was I'll never be a good grandma like her, I should just die. I walked past a native garden and all I could think was I'll never have what it takes to have a lovely native garden again, I should just die. And then all those thoughts melded and had me believe that I have no future or perceived happiness ever again. All the time I was trying to tell myself that my task was walking and I just needed to be in the moment and take in what was around me but it's such a constant battle and it feels some days that I'll never be sane again. Do you ever get past the battle where you aren't trying to use strategies all the time just to want to wake up and see the next day. I think today perhaps it's harder to be out. I seem to find even more to trigger SI even it's a flipping grevillea in a garden!
