Shall suicide be my next option...

Post Reply New Topic

I have a psychological evaluation coming up soon, and I'm very blue about it. It'll have 2 b scheduled after the holiday season, and I'm fixing to take my WWI magazine-fed rifle's' bayonet, and stab myself in the chest.
What should I do 2 resist this type of action?

try to see the light .... and hope to achieve it :=) dont harm yourself... it wont help you.

Suicide is a waste.

Really it is.

In many religions, it is a sin, too. You'll be sent straight to hell or a hell-like place, according to these religions.

No, it won't be like some Islamic sects, where you'll get the choice of communing with virgins erotically.

I'm sorry you're feeling sad.

I have gone down this road many times before. You need to occupy your mind. What hobbies or obsessions do you have? Can't you throw yourself into so etching that interests you?

don't be scared of a pysch evaluation

ask other people who have already had one what it is like.

What are you worried about with they psychological evaluation that is your reason for considering suicide? I imagine suicide would be much more unpleasant than the evaluation.

What I do to resist suicidal urges is try and distract myself from it, find things to occupy myself with...I also tend to self medicate with cannabis for that. But I have to consider how much of a risk I am...like if none of that can diminish the urges enough and I am still concerned of attempting then I go to the ER which anyone should do if it gets to that point.

The evaluations will be over soon, and you'll be free of them and can go on with your life. Try to remember it's just an evaluation, not a painful medical proceedure. They won't touch you. It's just them talking and you answering them, that's all.

learn to control your emotions by thinking about the evaluation, and when you get upset that's when you force yourself to calm down and dream on about lying on the sand on the beach. you feel the hot sand under you, the sunrays in your sensitive aspie eyes, the salty smell and sound of the waves, the way they glitter in the sun, that kind of thing.

practice it till you have control over your emotions, something we aspies just dont have. suicide is a one way street, and will hurt your family and those who love you horribly. you will miss out on all the things life has to offer, and all because of a temporary inconvinience.

I know this might sound too simple, but just don't do it. Take it five minutes at a time. Keep putting it off. I have urges to hurt myself frequently. I just tell myself no and then go on to my next activity. If things then too bad, the urges are too hard to fight, is there a way to get yourself committed to a mental institution until you feel better? I have done that before when my suicidal urges got too bad. I stayed there for about a month and came out feeling a lot better. It gave me time re-evaluate everything. It has been a long time since I was institutionalized, but I still have a crisis hotline number in my phone in case I need to be hospitalized again.

Don't do it. The evaluation will be much shorter than the life you would be throwing away. Can you get someone you trust to stay with you? In addition to protecting yourself you could do something to distract yourself like watching a movie or playing a board game with them. Get rid of your rifle.

How do you avoid stabbing yourself in the chest? Just don't do it. Not that hard. Pretty sure you already knew the answer.

I am so sorry that you feel distressed right now. Please take some time to be extra good to yourself. Currently all you can feel, and see, is your present pain. Suffering, like joy, is temporary. To get through this, please find your cherished special interests, and treat yourself to some relief, even if for a while. Suicide is the one option which would remove all other options. Your future happiness waits on the other side of your psych evaluation. The evaluation itself will be yours, an advantage to have available for your future when needed. Again, my deep compassion for your pain right now. You will get through this. Take good care of yourself. And, remember to breathe.

Knowing what to do about something depends on knowing what the problems are. Getting a evaluation can be a good step and helpful. Though I know it can be depressing of itself in that it is admission of problems to need one. But nothing gets done based on unreality. Once you accept what is, you can begin to try and make improvements in your life. With effort and patience you can usually make things more tolerable and the chance is there for even better.

I understand why people consider suicide. I have myself. But it is often a reaction to a temporary mental pain. Only in the case of overwhelming physical pain, without any reasonable hope of improvement do I really think it makes sense.

I think there is some good advice that has been given here already. The evaluation is simply talking to someone, (I know that in itself is not that easy) but there is no physical interference or any terrible consequence to fear. Really the worst that can happen is not that bad. It's certainly not worth ending your life over.

I have tried to kill myself a countless number of times, always because of depression. The only reason I am still here is because I felt I couldn't do that to my parents. Maybe someday I will succeed, but I urge you to stay with us for aslong as you can, you won't regret making the choice to stay!
