Will use this post to check in, and help myself get through the night.
Thank you for everything you've done for me, you are very kind.

Re: checking in

One of the issues right now, is I keep thinking about things that I shouldn't be. Things that trigger suicidal feelings, bit these thoughts I can't seem to shake them or stop them.

It's extremely difficult to do, I know, @Lee71 . 😞
My favourite coping method is distraction, but I know even that doesn't always work.
Has your therapist given you any other strategies?

We actually did a safety plan last session at my request, and distraction was at the top of the list, I will try distraction and checking in and see how it goes

Re: checking in
I am really impressed with how you look after yourself, @Lee71 .
I hope the distraction and the checking in help.

Hi @Lee71 
I am so sorry you are struggling so much at the moment, thinking about things that trigger suicidal thoughts - it can be so relentless, sometimes. 
It is great that you are reaching out here and being supported by @NatureLover. However, if you feel you may benefit from professional counselling support, you may wish to call our SANE Help Centre (1800 18 72 63). Alternatively, you may want to call Lifeline (13 11 14) or the Suicidal Call Back Service (1300 659 467), if your suicide risk is sitting at a higher crisis level.
Please feel free to continue posting and letting us know how you are going on the SANE Forums!
Take very good care of yourself, @Lee71.
Kindest Regards,
Amour_Et_Psyché

Do you have enough stuff to try to distract yourself, with, @Lee71 ?

Kinda, well No.
Distraction isn't working so well.
