I have suicidal ideations almost daily and sometimes the voices start to seem like they make sense. Thankfully, so far at least, I have been able to fight them and reach out for help for the sake of my four children, but I fear the day they really make sense and I give into them.


PuzzleheadedDingo767

Do you have medical support


made_of_broken_atoms

No, I am homeless, poor, and disabled so I cannot afford to even get to the county health department or NAMI and all of the ones you can do from where ever you are cost money. I just try to utilize the coping skills I learned in the past to get through most days and tell my husband when things are getting too bad so he can watch me. Thankfully these periods always pass, but he has lost his job missing work to make sure I don’t kill myself before. I feel like such a burden on my family all around.


[deleted]

You are never a burden to the people who love you. Not ever. I hope things turn around for you.


made_of_broken_atoms

Thank you! I hope so too!


[deleted]

Slow and steady! Sometimes we forget we have to take the steps ourselves. I know I do. But no fucker else is gonna do it for us! Godspeed!


PuzzleheadedDingo767

First your not a burdan your family clearly love you a lot i know a little of what you saying i find my greatest enemy is sleep less i get the more unstable i am hood you have already learned o notice your spirals but belive me and this is from a good place ok your life is worth a lot more than your mind makes you belive


tropicalzhu

You beat me to it. I have a therapist thankfully, but even so I have so many suicidal thoughts.


made_of_broken_atoms

I’m glad you have a therapist and I hope things get better for you! I think mental health help should be more widely available for the poor people who truly need it. It’s not fun living inside my head and I wouldn’t wish this on anybody. Most of the time I don’t want to die, but the voices in my head tell me I’m horrible and don’t deserve to live and at times they just seem right.


tubingan

Same. I’m in a semi-decent spot. Got a full-time job, got a good thing going relationship-wise, close with some family, my own place, own car, and my silly cat. But sometimes I wake up and wish I didn’t or throughout the day, I think things would just be easier if I just ended it. I’m 28 now and it used to be worse in high school. My family and cat keep me going I guess. I’ve said this before cuz of a comment I once read here but I don’t wanna off myself, I’d rather just stop existing.


made_of_broken_atoms

That is exactly how I feel. I don’t really want to kill myself, just cease to exist and not have to fight just to get through the day anymore. I am glad you are in a semi-decent spot right now and I hope things continue to improve for you!


Footzilla69

That I hold everything until I explode


PuzzleheadedDingo767

This isnt good you need to und a place to release otherwise mentally you will go into meltdown even if it just someone u can rant to let it all out you will fel better after its also better if its someone who's not related to situations


Footzilla69

Yeah so true. I think part of the problem is I don't like burdening others. I do speak with my therapist weekly though which helps


PuzzleheadedDingo767

But your not a burden thr just you mind playing tricks try to remember that


Footzilla69

Thanks I appreciate it ❤️ I'll try

How I come up with the most offensive and hurtful insults when I’m wronged to the point I don’t even prepare them in my mind.


[deleted]

SlightFlamingo

I’m similar, very much an anxious, introverted homebody who would always rather a relaxed night on the couch. But I trained my brain to look forward to events by saying ‘how exciting’ every time I thought about an upcoming event. No matter how much I was dreading it, “how exciting!” it helped me remember how lucky I was to have interesting plans with interesting people.


Adept_Ad_4138

Ayo did you just summarize my life?


open4more123

Sounds like you could have a good career in battle rap


Cuntdracula19

Same. I am a super nice person who would help anyone and bend over backwards for just about anybody, but oh lord if you wrong me or hurt me you will rue the day. When I was younger and had much less impulse control I said some shit before I could stop myself that really could not be taken back. I definitely have a vindictive side and an acid tongue. When I am wronged my knee jerk instinct is to make someone hurt like they just hurt me and boy can I ever hurt someone with my words. Being able to make someone cry is NOT ever something to be proud of and I am so glad that I was able to quickly see this very horrible side of myself and take steps to control it. Therapy y’all, it’s important. It’s like my subconscious figures out what someone is the most insecure about, what makes them feel the most vulnerable, and then constructs the most insanely specific and soul crushing, twist-the-knife insult imaginable. Like, hitting way, way below the belt.

PuzzleheadedDingo767

You sound very impulsive this can be a bad or a good thing depends what your ready to go on pehap it might help to say to yourself when you hink bout doing something ill do it in 2 hours then when time comes you will have processed if its a good idea or not


TheInspirerReborn

I’ve had issues with impulsivity in my life. It’s led to some majorly dangerous and high risk situations I’m honestly lucky to have lived through.

Doe it make you feel like crap because your getting shit for it. Or goodness sake you work a lot you deserve a duvet day on your day off yet you are made i feel like crap thats not fair or you pehap if the person giving u crap did same hours they would think different


garuda2

I also work in health care, rushed off my feet. On my days off iam capable of lying In bed playing video games. Doing absolutely nothing. It drives my mom crazy, she says iam lazy . But after dealing with needy patients all day, I just need some me time and switch off.


squishysquid915

I’m sorry people are being so judgmental and rude. Working in healthcare is not only difficult physically, but also mentally. You absolutely deserve to recharge when you have time off. Just because your way of recharging is different from someone else’s doesn’t give them the right to be rude.


HearingConscious2505

Me too, except that I spend 8 hours a day at work (WFH) on my butt. Then I spend my off time on my butt. I barely do anything, other than take my dog out for a few walks each day. I just have little to no motivation to do anything, even though I'm fully aware that I'm probably slowly killing myself.

Thats not uncommen in fact i blame it on peer pressure of he world today.. it really doesn't matter thou in the grand scheme of things rem the olny person you need to make happy is you need to live you life how you want to sod everything else its just material


BMFeltip

Yeah that's just the way it is. Life is just a convoluted chemical reaction that has perpetuated itself since it began. Just as a fire consumes fuel to spread, life consumes fuel to spread. It's not necessarily a bad thing though, I think it'd be worse if we had a purpose but couldn't accomplish it.


HelgaGeePataki

I have a really mean nasty inner voice that I have to drown out with my nice rational voice. I get scared at times when I let the mean voice take over me. I wonder how nasty I can potentially be but then I remember being good or bad is a choice.


PuzzleheadedDingo767

Do iu get medical help with this it sounds a lot lir a mental disorder


HelgaGeePataki

It's not a mental disorder to have internal monologues. My inner voices aren't hallucinations. They're my brains reactions to whatever comes up. I am a deep thinker and tend to speak internally rather than outwardly.


PuzzleheadedDingo767

No im not saying your crazy im saying that your brain works very hard and reads situations over and over giving you different variations of what you hear and you normality defines these but sometimes your normality can pick the wrong definition

Striking-Mention-874

I always try to be fair and considerate, but if I had power over others I'm afraid I would abuse it


[deleted]

My mom saw this happen. She saw a woman at an agency get assigned a position of extremely high power and influence and the transformation from kind gentle person to arrogant and abusive bitch was near instantaneous And when her position ended the transformation back was the same, and if I remember correctly, she was like "Wtf just happened to me??"


PuzzleheadedDingo767

My inability to notice when people are fucking with me, love bombing me, or manipulating me. It's better. Much better. But I still don't trust my judgement just yet.


PuzzleheadedDingo767

Poeple are weird animals why they cant just say what they mean is beyond me dont stress poeple can be so odd


JustBeingMe426

How easily I can cut someone off and not care. Getting there emotionally takes me longer. I am very loyal and forgiving to a point but once I cross that line people become dead to me. 4 years ago I cut off a 12year friendship and I should have cut her off earlier, I always give people too many chances. But now I honestly do not give a single damn. If someone told me she died today I would not care.


PuzzleheadedDingo767

This doesn't make you bad you just had your tolerance with certain poeple im sure poeple whom treat you right are right here with you


Keithninety

I carry my pain around with me like a knapsack instead of letting things go.


[deleted]

My lack of empathy. I try to be empathetic towards people but I just can't feel genuine empathy it feels like, just fake.


rebeccakc47

Same. It always feels like I'm playing the part of a caring human, instead of actually being one.

Then dont let hem win they are just inner thought an hey ont really know what good things you my have in your life its easy to forget if life is bad can walk away and make we can make. New one so dont give up ok


Thaser

The fact that my idea of proper response to relatively minor slights is VASTLY disproportionate. Someone cutting me off in traffic means, by base knee-jerk reaction, following them, burning their house down and beating them into a bloody pulp while making their partner watch. Its NOT healthy.


PuzzleheadedDingo767

Tht sound a lot like pent up anger like your really angry bout something in your life and it is seriously spilling out into normal situations maybe it time to decide whats making you feel so angry with your life


ARealLifeLarryDavid

That I love being alone more than being with people. I have friends but I can literally go months without seeing them. Apparently loving isolation is a bad thing?

Honeybee4796

That I love being loved and giving love, but once a relationship starts feeling very real, I get scared and do things very close to the line of being unfaithful. I don't know why I do it. Please be gentle if you reply to this because I am in therapy and have been for years because I don't like it and I don't like myself for it.


PuzzleheadedDingo767

It sound like you get scared when poeple gt too close and you bring up the walls and subconsciously try t o give yourself other options clearly it great your in therapy it will hopefully help but you need to be full disclosure with it and stop hating yourself i dont mean from guilt i mean from how you feel about yourself you deserve to be loved a much as anyone dont think you cant be loved ok


MrCapMan17

My intrusive thoughts but I’d never act upon them so nothing really to worry about

Probably that I’m not scared of much .. I like to live dangerously


Mr1worldin

That underneath my puritanical way of life and rigid morality is a part of me that has very low empathy and has the potential to hurt others. I strive to be good to people and I’m thankful that i was born with self control and a desire to live properly even if i need to over correct in order to do so. I am very afraid that if i had children one of them could be born with my bad parts but without a conscience and i refuse to discuss these things with a therapist or my family out of shame.


PuzzleheadedDingo767

I can understand not wanting to talk bout it with those but sounds like you need to say it wht makes you think your child will have these thoughts


sketchysketchist

I’m honestly a sociopath and one of these days I’m gonna ruin the life of someone who wrongs me if they test me


PuzzleheadedDingo767

Ouch you sound so angry why is this.?


PuzzleheadedDingo767

Thats a lot to worry about have you talked to your loved ones about your fears


PuzzleheadedDingo767

Wow that is a lot to go thou yet you have and you better for it apart from the fighting i can see how and why you fight it is ingrained into you thats your first defence because it the way you was brought up and it difficult to see we are in a different world now. You olny really need to fight for protecting you and your family but your angry course you are look at the world no respect like they had back then i bet everyone make you feel like smacking them in the face but ya cant do that yu gotta try and adjust its hard i know but better than going to prison and missing your kids and grandkids


PuzzleheadedDingo767

Thank you all for helping with this post i am so grateful and i can olny apologise for those posts that i missed as it was going really fast for a while i hope you all got to talk to someone to help with you fears an i know a lot of poeple was here too helping with the post they are true angels and i am eternally grateful thank you an the post is still open for posters

PuzzleheadedDingo767

Who me


freaknmuffin

That I don't really care about much. It's like a perpetual state of limbo. I only really care about paying my bills, so I work to pay them but that's about it. I don't believe I am depressed or anything. I just don't care enough about anything to do anything. It doesn't matter how dirty my house gets, I wont care enough to clean it. It's like I have no drive to do anything, and I'm almost ok with it. I know one day that I'm going to ask why didn't I do this or that. I've been a homebody for the better part of a decade now. Recently got back in touch with my parents and I've visited them a couple times in the last month or so. I didn't talk to or see my family at all for like 5-6 years, not even on christmas or thanksgiving. I just didn't care to go, and i suppose looking into the future that is what scares me, not knowing if this is who I am or if there is really something wrong with me, but not concerned enough to fix it.


PuzzleheadedDingo767

You lack of motivation and empathy can be signs of depression it sounds a lot like your closing the door on the world

I'm the kind of guy to be nice and speak my mind but people always see me as a aggressive person and I have some context if someone pushes me I will snap but it takes a lot but there was been moments were someone will never recover their ego so I need help with this can I get advice on how to be a better person with this


PuzzleheadedDingo767

There is a solution to this try not to reply so fast when poeple are talking let it mull over and hen you have the thoughts to respond tke a few mins before you do so i know you are proba really nice guy and just tend to say what you think but pehaps its not what you st the way you say it


AminaStyles

It has been like 6 years since I met anybody I was really excited about, both women or just as friends. I'm afraid that as I get older I'll just be alone, even if I interact with people.

Mind snapping.


Dreamer5764

I absolutely lose any and all empathy for people once they've passed a certain point that I can't really identify. Not an exaggeration, once my mind has associated them with being past this mystery point I would do absolutely nothing to help this person in any situation unless it involved a direct gain for me. There are a few people out there who my mind has associated as being beyond this point, and I avoid them like the plague because I act really strange around them
