I Feel Suicidal Sometimes And I Don

I feel very very lonely and I feel suicidal at times. How do I combat these problems?

SPOIL YOURSELF FOR A DAY.Let's be practical.You are feeling Suicidal, let's break it down into action steps in order to not feel so.a) Wake up at 6-6:30 am. Go for a walk, come back after half an hour or so. Don't forget to carry your iPOD etc.Avoid Gardens, you don't want to be in a closed environment, go in open areas. Take a main road probably, chase the sunrise (Literally).Don't eat much till 11:00 am or something. Starve, even if you had to.I hope you have some money. Enough to have one of your favorite meals in the town.Eat like a king.Come back, sleep tight. till 4 or 5 pm.Wash your face, make good coffee for yourself or tea. Write down, how you felt till now. There is nothing much you have done if you see but still pen it down.Download a TV series, preferably the one which has a lot of episodes and involves a little mystery. Watch it for 1 or 2 hours.Time to sleep.Go to your terrace, take a blanket and a pillow. Relax, gaze at the stars. If possible sleep there itself.Now, the big question. Why this?Here I am trying to focus on two things, 1) Humans tend to enjoy life in little moments, the time we are ginuinely happy is the time when we are touched by small little beautiful moments. You need to spot those moments and need to look more to life.2) Second of all, if you make this as a routine (excluding the part of having expensive meals outside) you will realize that spending time with yourself can also be fun and suddenly in some time you will realize that your loneliness which is your weakness becomes your strength. Tables have turned . :)Let me know if this works.All the best.

Why is it that I don’t have depression or anything but I feel suicidal sometimes?

Are you perhaps talking about the Call of the Void? It’s when an otherwise happy, healthy person, suddenly has a dark thought enter their head.Maybe you’re driving and you think “I should totally drive on the other side of the highway today.” Maybe you’re hiking a mountain and go “I wonder what jumping off this cliff would feel like.”If you get this every so often, believe it or not, you’re normal. These intrusive thoughts happen to everyone from time to time. If it happens any more than that, please talk to someone.

I get really depressed and sometimes have suicidal thoughts. I want to tell my parents so I can get help, but I don't know how to tell them. What advice can you give?

I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling this way. Before I even make an attempt to address the main question, I want to point out that while it can be hard to see things right at times because of our situation (and only you truly know your situation), there is always the good and the bad to every thing. Sometimes the bad overpowers the good in our head, which brings up rather extreme thoughts but always think of the bigger picture: there is always much more to live for than we think. You could be young, in which case you obviously have all the time in the world to figure things out, middle-aged or even in your 70's, and you could still do so many things that will have a lasting impact on society.Coming to the main question, I applaud your understanding of the situation and your willingness to seek help. That part can be really hard as there is so much dependent on your communication and your family's perception but that should not be a deterrent to talk to them.I suggest creating an understanding of the root cause of your depression. What are your needs and wants that are not being met to create this feeling? Is there a something about you that those around you are feeling to see/recognize? What would need to happen for you to overcome this state of mind? Once you have established an understanding of this, you should proceed to systematically communicate this to your parents. You don't need to be clear with everything before you talk to them but even if you have a starting point to know the root cause, it can lead to more clarity when you actually lay the facts out to your parents. However you decide to proceed, just remember to not act impulsively, and as Lou Davis has pointed out in another answer, reach out. The world is waiting to hear from you; speak your mind, friend. :)

Feeling suicidal but I don't want to kill myself, how can I get past this?

I once felt like you, my emotions uncontrollable, always thinking about “cutting” so to speak. I couldnt really focus in school, lack of sleep was because of it. Well, I don't think my family knew of it anyway, the monsters just couldn't be seen.I'm not going to mention why I was feeling suicidal, as it's not a nice thing to remember anyway. But what helped me got through it was through drawing. It might not be the way for you but I did work for me for the very least. I also did poetry, these all allowed me to pour all my feelings,emotions and pain into the “art” without having me to tell anyone as I was ashamed.I once drew “tatoos” with pen all over my wrists. Well, that was the substitute of cutting. I'm not going to recommend that though. But another thing that helped me was that I had someone to talk to, my boyfriend.Talk to someone, don't be afraid or ashamed. This can really release all the feelings that were built up the whole time. If not, you're gonna snap one day. I mean it.Try to find something to hang on to. Whether a family member, friend or hobby. Maybe even your dreams and goals. This can motivate you to move on. My motivation was my family, I couldn't bear them being hurt and sad because I decided to hurt myself. So I decided once and for all to clean those thoughts and start a brand new life.I hope you have a great life my friend, if you need someone to talk to, I'm here.If you're reading this dad, I'm fine now. And please don't ask anything about it, I've decided to move on and not looked back.
