I recently stumbled upon this website while searching for ways to overcome my suicidal intentions. Though I’ve been having depression for a number of years, I’ve never actually constructed or attempted suicide, only kept it in my imagination. But a few days ago, I actually made a noose, complete with testing to see if it would work. I’m getting worried.
My brother told me to go back to work so that my mind is occupied with other things, but I’m afraid because the last time I worked, I had a mental breakdown right in the office. My question is, how do the rest of you, who are facing the same problem as me, go to work? How do you manage to function at your job? How do you go back? I’m just asking, I don’t mean any offense just incase I wrote something wrong and just incase my words are misconstrued.

I don’t go to work, I’m an “aspiring” student; however, should I ever get work I think the only way I would get through the day is simply thinking about the money I’m working for. It may sound avaricious, but in truth it’s only a way to keep my mind and body working for something.
I would, for example, set small goals in my money gain, and I would refuse to give up until I would reach that goal, then when reached, I’d set another, then another, etc.
But then again this is coming from a woman who’s never been out in the workforce, so whether I could even follow through with my own advice is purely debatable.
Thanks, Ava. The ‘small goals’ idea might work, though. I’ll have to give it a try if I attempt to go back to work. I went from working back to studying so I’m a student as well.
I’m glad to have given you some helpful advice!
