Hey guys,
I know this is a really morbid question to ask on an internet forum, but has anyone here had suicidal thoughts and is willing to share their experience how they turned it around?

Can I private message you mate

Hey there, I was going to pm you but I think for my own mental health recovery I will put this in an open domain. First of all if you are feeling like you may be suicidal please speak to someone. As for my own experience I have had suicidal ideation for close on ten years , not all the time but I have periods where my depression leads to to constantly think about dying. As for feeling suicidal there has been three occasions 5 years ago where I was at the point of no return. Once I was stopped by my wife and twice I decided against it as I realised it wasn’t the best option. If I’m being honest I’ve never actually spoken about this to anyone other than a doctor. How did I turn it around ??? Hmmm , not 100% sure I have but it know ending my life doesn’t resolve anything and I know damn sure that what my mind is telling me at my lowest point isn’t actually true. YOU ARE NOT YOUR MIND, it’s the one quote I go back to when my mental health goes down and I realise my mind is telling me stories that don’t exist. I will message you privately and we can talk some more but I feel that for myself I need to be honest on this board because I’ve spent a large chunk of my life being dishonest to myself and others.

Once a few years ago and the main thing that stopped me was thinking about how shit I’ve felt when people I know have taken their lives and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone
