Are my thoughts normal?

Hi @Evie1,

I can hear how much you want to die right now. I want to die too. However, I know it is just a feeling, and feelings pass and change. That doesn't help in the moment though. The want-to-die feeling is super big and super scary. I'm really sorry that you are feeling such a big awful feeling right now.

@Evie1 I read that you went to headspace this morning. Did you share with the person there, that you are having thoughts of suicide?

Oh sorry @Evie1, I thought you went to headspace earlier today. I'm glad you have some support today and I really hope you find the group helpful.

@Evie1 just woke up after 2 hr nana nap! Is there anything you need right now? Going to put the kettle on for a cuppa.I'm sitting with you right now. Take care and take time to breathe.

No, suicide is not normal. Cetain illnesses (especially depression) can make you think about suicide, but once the illness is treated thoughts of suicide can be brought under control. I atempted suicide when I was 15.I am 64 now and have led a full and fascinating life. I am so glad that my attempt was unsuccessful. If you are having throughts of suicide get to your doctor straight away and get help!!
