Was wondering if anyone else on here has experienced this.
I no longer suffer from depression and haven’t for some months but yet my suicidal thoughts won’t stop – I often find myself making plans according to a specific date and looking forward to said date. It’s something I have to actively try not to think about.
For me I believe it’s due to lingering beliefs from my point in time of depression and resulting delusions.
If anyone else has experienced this and anything that might help these intrusive thoughts I would greatly appreciate your sharing.

yes, I have went through that one. Just straight up suicide attempts without depression as a factor, although depression came back to bite me in the ass like 2 months ago. Anyhow, I don’t mean to discourage you but this one has no cure other than distracting yourself in any way you can find.
I feel exactly the same way you do. If you look at a recent post I made entitled “Resigned To Suicide”, I pretty much have the same feelings that you do, and outline my entire thought process.
As depressing as this place can be sometimes, it’s nice to know that there is someone who can relate to how you feel. Hope my post helps you out, even just a little. 🙂
I must agree with you in the fact that there is comfort in knowing that there are people who can relate and understand what you’re going through. I wouldn’t dare tell anyone I know about this so I’m glad I can find understanding here.
Thank you for your comment 🙂
Thank you for your comment
I’m just glad to know that it isn’t some bizarre abnormality to me
Distracting myself has been my go to coping strategy so I’m glad to know I’m doing something right 🙂
yes i have, death puts an end to all your problems that’s why it’s appealing, it’s like planning a vacation!!! but instead of planning a vacation which you will get eventually, set goals and achieve them. Make life worth living. staying in limbo just getting by isn’t good enough.
That is definitely something I’ve been trying to do – I am glad to know I’m on the right track 🙂
