However, there are ways to cope with these feelings and overcome the pain.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"if-youre-having-suicidal-thoughts\">If You\u2019re Having Suicidal Thoughts<\/h4>\n<p>No matter how much pain you\u2019re in right now, you\u2019re not alone. Many people have had suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives. Feeling suicidal is not a character defect and doesn\u2019t mean you are crazy, weak, or flawed. It simply means that you have more pain than you can currently cope with. With time and support, you can overcome your problems, and the pain and suicidal feelings will pass.<\/p>\n<p>Remember:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your emotions are not fixed<\/strong>\u2014they are constantly changing. How you feel today may not be how you feel tomorrow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your absence would create grief<\/strong> and anguish in the lives of friends and loved ones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You can still accomplish many things<\/strong> in your life.<\/li>\n<li><strong>There are experiences in life<\/strong> that can bring you joy and that you would miss.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your ability to experience pleasure<\/strong> is equal to your ability to experience distress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 id=\"why-do-i-feel-suicidal\">Why Do I Feel Suicidal?<\/h4>\n<p>Many kinds of emotional pain can lead to thoughts of suicide. The reasons for this pain are unique to each person, and the ability to cope with it differs from person to person. Here are some common causes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mental health conditions:<\/strong> Such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Life events:<\/strong> Such as trauma, loss of a loved one, or significant life changes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chronic pain or illness:<\/strong> Ongoing physical pain or illness can contribute to suicidal thoughts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 id=\"why-suicide-can-seem-like-the-only-option\">Why Suicide Can Seem Like the Only Option<\/h4>\n<p>If you\u2019re unable to think of solutions other than suicide, it\u2019s not that other solutions don\u2019t exist, but rather that you are currently unable to see them. The intense emotional pain you\u2019re experiencing can distort your thinking, making it harder to see possible solutions or to connect with those who can offer support. Therapists, counselors, friends, or loved ones can help you see solutions that may not be apparent to you.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"a-suicidal-crisis-is-almost-always-temporary\">A Suicidal Crisis is Almost Always Temporary<\/h4>\n<p>While it might seem as if your pain and unhappiness will never end, crises are usually temporary. Solutions can be found, feelings change, and unexpected positive events occur. Remember, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Give yourself the time necessary for things to change and the pain to subside.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"even-problems-that-seem-hopeless-have-solutions\">Even Problems That Seem Hopeless Have Solutions<\/h4>\n<p>Mental health conditions such as depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder are treatable with lifestyle changes, therapy, and medication. Most people who seek help can improve their situation and recover. It\u2019s often necessary to try different approaches before finding the right solution or combination of solutions. Don\u2019t give up before you\u2019ve found what works for you.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"immediate-actions-to-take\">Immediate Actions to Take<\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"step-1-promise-not-to-do-anything-right-now\">Step #1: Promise Not to Do Anything Right Now<\/h4>\n<p>Even though you\u2019re in a lot of pain, give yourself some distance between thoughts and action. Promise yourself, \u201cI will wait 24 hours and won\u2019t do anything drastic during that time.\u201d Thoughts and actions are two different things\u2014your suicidal thoughts do not have to become a reality.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"step-2-avoid-drugs-and-alcohol\">Step #2: Avoid Drugs and Alcohol<\/h4>\n<p>Suicidal thoughts can become even stronger if you have taken drugs or alcohol. It\u2019s important to avoid these substances when you feel hopeless or are thinking about suicide.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"step-3-make-your-home-safe\">Step #3: Make Your Home Safe<\/h4>\n<p>Remove things you could use to hurt yourself, such as pills, knives, razors, or firearms. If you\u2019re unable to do so, go to a place where you can feel safe.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"step-4-dont-keep-these-suicidal-feelings-to-yourself\">Step #4: Don\u2019t Keep These Suicidal Feelings to Yourself<\/h4>\n<p>Many people have found that the first step to coping with suicidal thoughts and feelings is to share them with someone they trust. Find someone you trust and let them know how bad things are. If the first person you reach out to doesn\u2019t seem to understand, try someone else.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"step-5-take-hope-people-do-get-through-this\">Step #5: Take Hope \u2013 People DO Get Through This<\/h4>\n<p>Even people who feel as badly as you are feeling now manage to survive these feelings. There is a very good chance that you are going to live through these feelings, no matter how much self-loathing, hopelessness, or isolation you are currently experiencing. Give yourself the time needed and don\u2019t try to go it alone.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"reaching-out-for-help\">Reaching Out for Help<\/h3>\n<p>Even if it doesn\u2019t feel like it right now, there are many people who want to support you during this difficult time. Reach out to someone. If you promised yourself 24 hours or a week, use that time to tell someone what\u2019s going on with you. Talk to someone who won\u2019t try to argue about how you feel, judge you, or tell you to just \u201csnap out of it.\u201d Find someone who will simply listen and be there for you.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"how-to-talk-to-someone-about-your-suicidal-thoughts\">How to Talk to Someone About Your Suicidal Thoughts<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Be direct:<\/strong> Tell the person exactly what you are telling yourself. If you have a suicide plan, explain it to them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be specific:<\/strong> Phrases such as, \u2018I can\u2019t take it anymore\u2019 or \u2018I\u2019m done\u2019 are vague. Tell the person you trust that you are thinking about suicide.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Write it down:<\/strong> If it is too difficult for you to talk about, try writing it down and handing a note to the person you trust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"how-to-cope-with-suicidal-thoughts\">How to Cope with Suicidal Thoughts<\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"things-to-do\">Things to Do<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Talk with someone every day:<\/strong> Preferably face to face. Ask trusted friends and acquaintances to spend time with you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make a safety plan:<\/strong> Develop a set of steps that you can follow during a suicidal crisis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stick to a daily schedule:<\/strong> Keep a regular routine as much as possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get out in the sun or into nature:<\/strong> Spend at least 30 minutes a day outdoors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exercise:<\/strong> Aim for 30 minutes of exercise per day. Start small if necessary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Engage in activities that bring you joy:<\/strong> Even if very few things bring you pleasure at the moment, force yourself to do the things you used to enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 id=\"things-to-avoid\">Things to Avoid<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Being alone:<\/strong> Solitude can make suicidal thoughts worse. Visit a friend or family member.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alcohol and drugs:<\/strong> These substances can increase depression and impulsivity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Engaging in activities that make you feel worse:<\/strong> Avoid listening to sad music, looking at certain photographs, or visiting a loved one\u2019s grave.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focusing on negative thoughts:<\/strong> Try not to become preoccupied with suicidal thoughts. Find a distraction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"recovering-from-suicidal-thoughts\">Recovering from Suicidal Thoughts<\/h3>\n<p>Even if your suicidal thoughts have subsided, it\u2019s important to seek ongoing help. Experiencing such emotional pain is itself a traumatizing experience. Finding a support group or therapist can be very helpful in decreasing the chances that you will feel suicidal again in the future.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Identify triggers:<\/strong> Recognize situations that lead to feelings of despair or generate suicidal thoughts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take care of yourself:<\/strong> Eat right, get plenty of sleep, and exercise regularly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build your support network:<\/strong> Surround yourself with positive influences and people who make you feel good about yourself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Develop new activities and interests:<\/strong> Find new hobbies or volunteer activities that give you a sense of meaning and purpose.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learn to deal with stress:<\/strong> Find healthy ways to manage stress, including exercising, meditating, and practicing simple breathing exercises.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember, you don\u2019t have to face this alone. Reach out for help and take steps to build a healthier, happier future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re experiencing thoughts of suicide, your pain may seem overwhelming and permanent.
