I think about suicide almost every day. I posted recently about just giving up in general. Apathy take me. I don’t think I’d ever kill myself. My mom is mostly what keeps me here. But sometimes it just seems like it’s what I want. It increasingly becomes a more serious thought. It starts to feel like a good idea. But then I doubt myself and think I’m just fantasizing. That it’s some internal drama. That I’d be wasting someone’s time with it. Then I don’t say anything to anyone. Nobody in my life knows that I feel this way, and that feels lonely.
When do you cross the line where it’s important to reach out?

now. now is when you reach out. people who are healthy dont think seriously about killing themselves ever. if you have thought about suicide seriously, even if you dont think youd actively go through with it, more than a handful of times, now is for sure the right time to get help from wherever you can. good luck!!
You reach out before you end up in a mental hospital for trying to kill yourself. I was there and it was pretty scary at first. I made a lot of friends thoe and i was able to talk to them about anything and i still keep contact with them to this day. The hospital wasnt the bad part. What is hell is when you get discharged and you have to face everyone. Reach out before this gets worse..Just know you aren’t alone.
Mr. Anderson,
By posting here in this forum, you’ve already taken the first step towards reaching out for help. Sometimes people find it hard to ask for help; however, I find it a sign of strength. As a graduate student majoring in professional counseling, I can tell you that NOW is the time to ask for help. Even if you are contemplating or struggling with thoughts of suicide, there is therapy and possibly medication that can help. I am a HUGE supporter of therapy/counseling because it provides So. Many. Benefits. You’re NOT wasting anyone’s time by talking about how you’ve been thinking about suicide. In fact, there are TONS of professionally trained individuals who make this their living. I’d love to help you or just talk with you about how you’re feeling. Feel free to message me.
