im sick of feeling anxious and wanting to end everything. i dont like looking at everything and thinking of a way i could use it to inflict my own death. solutions to ending these thoughts would be greatly appreciated. please.
There are quite a few methods to change thoughts, which is meant to start reversing the feelings that come with them or trigger them. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a popular one. I’d have a look into that. 🙂
Really there’s no actual “solutions” to those sort of thoughts, only hotfixes that you’ll need to apply from time to time in order to suppress them. More than anything else, it’s always been the little things that have helped me cope the most — watching a new show, cooking a scrumptious meal or driving to the beach for the day.
Stay occupied. Stay alert. But enjoy the little things and be conformable in your own company.
I try not to take my thoughts too seriously. Ever since I saw a comic thing on Tumblr saying that anxiety is a super-power which must be used and controlled just like all super-powers I have been able to see at least a bit of comedy in it. Sometimes when I am out my heart is beating so fast I think I might have a heart attack but then I just laugh to myself and think that it would probably solve my problems. At 42 I have given up hope of being cured. This is all just part of who I am. The only thing that has ever really helped me was REBT (rational emotive behavioural therapy). Not that I had actual therapy I just sort of taught myself to rationalise what I am feeling and thinking.

Apologies if this makes no sense. I need sleep.

What makes you feel so anxious? Why do you want to end it all?
