How did you deal with them? I've dug Zen out of my subconscious and started writing Poems, and it's the first time I've meant anything I've written.
I'm probably the last person who should be giving advice about this since I tend shut everyone out and pretend there's no problem at all, which just makes it worse. Fortunately for me, the first time I dealt with suicidal thoughts, I was very young and didn't know enough to really follow through with anything. I honestly don't know how I got through that. When I started getting those thoughts again years later, I freaked out because I knew I could and would follow through if it got that bad again. It took all my courage and a really good friend to work through it. He offered to take away any sharp objects so I wouldn't have to do it myself and stayed "on call" in case I needed someone. I don't think I could've gotten through it alone.
I got a puppy ^^ every time i thought of suicide I thought of my puppy, "who Would take care of him?" "will they be the right person?" eventually my suicidal thoughts faded away this was before i accepted my transgender personality.
I would listen to lacrimosa, because for some reason they would make me feel better. I also used to write a lot. Even though I'm having trouble with the suicidal thoughts lately, so I can't really help you. But please stay strong, you're not alone (*hug*)
Lacrimosa... that's some good music! Anyway, hell yeah, music is the way! If you're planning out a suicide or taking steps towards it - you need to get professional help. When I went to a mental hospital I was told to count backwards from 100 in 7s. So, are you able to concentrate? Somehow you just find a way through them. Video games help, too. If you've heard of fmylife, that's good for a laugh.
I'm immune to suicidal thoughts, so I might not be the right person to help you with that. Nevertheless I think it's a serious concern and you should see a therapist as soon as you can, they can help you get out of it.
A useful website is Befrienders Worldwide | Emotional support to prevent suicide worldwide It lists support lines with a specialism in helping people with despairing thoughts around the world and has hints and tips for coping and supporting others. I don't think there is a magic wand that can be waved to rid a person of suicidal thoughts, but 'talking' about the feelings in a frank and honest way is vital.
