A cure for suicidal thoughts?

[noname223]

Imagine you could take a medication that prevents you of having suicidal thoughts. Nothing in your life/ health changes except that. You would never become suicidal again. You would become someone who says i accept everything and i can deal with everything.
I would not take it. For me suicide is more a weighing up. Maybe i have the childish view that it is a symbol of protest. When life becomes cruel and it only becomes worse why should i play this game. However i struggle to find the right point to make a cut...

If that med could cure my bipolar disorder too, I would certainly take it.

 

[noname223]

No it would not. If that was the case this would be an easy decision.

No it would not. If that was the case this would be an easy decision.

Then, I wouldn't take neither lol

If you didn't know it already, lithium lowers the risk of suicide and no other medication does that.

I guess that's how religion was started. So many people struggling for no reason so why not create this reason(medication)? There a list of stuff, if you will do according to this list - you will be ok, just don't kill yourself and in afterlife you will get your nirvana/72virgins/etc. Pretty progressive for that time.

Maybe i have the childish view that it is a symbol of protest.

Kiss your thouths on this place. Just same.

This line though. If I accept everything, then I have no worries. This goes beyond just suicidality and solves most of my problems. I would take that chance.

Or would I?

Maybe i have the childish view that it is a symbol of protest.

From a rebels' point of view (and I am one, romantically at least), the question really becomes: would I take a pill that makes me lie to myself?

I think that if your suicidal thoughts are a 'stand alone' problem, yes. But if they are secondary to something else, then no.

My suicidal thoughts are (in my not so humble opinion of course) a rational response to the suffering of my depression. Taking suicide away is taking the only certain cure away.

I wouldn't take it, you'd basically live in a world or with an illness you don't want except you can't leave for a long time because you wouldn't be suicidal anymore to stop it.

That sounds like torture.
