Re: Need advice
Hi Tricia. When I'm feeling very anxious & get intrusive thoughts, reading about suicide really gets to me too. It makes me question "What if this person felt the same way I do before they killed themselves?" And then this leads to another thought & another one until they spiral out of control and leave me feeling very panicked. It's very common and I just want you to know that you're not alone. I think you'll find that when your mind settles and you're thinking clearly, the thoughts of suicide seem absurd and you know that you'd never actually even consider it. It seems there are stories of suicide everywhere lately and it's very unsettling for people like us who are struggling with mental health. But it's just intrusive thoughts - nothing more. The thoughts will come and they WILL go, just try not to give them all of your attention x
