I have OCD. And I think a part of my suicidal thoughts comes from OCD. Even if little things in my life go wrong I am thinking about suicide. Moreover I think I might be not fully sane and a part of my suicidality comes from psychosis. Though I have the feeling I make progress with my sanity. Especially during the last 6 months my social skills improved. There were times I was just ill...especially when I did not take my medication.

I am just obsessed by my suicidality. At the moment I feel a little bit better. I have less pressure and I made some progress in life. Why am I still so obsessed about suicide? Probably because I know deep inside myself that I cannot avoid my suicide. I have sometimes the feeling my recovery attempt is just a facade or charade. I don't tell that to my therapist. We would just have a huge argument about that.

Currently I am listening more to Nirvana. I am more curious to learn about Kurt Cobain. Read his suicide note and watched some interviews. I cannot really relate too much to him tbh. I think we are pretty quite different. I rather could relate to Chester Bennington but mostly to David Foster Wallace.

I think I am a very vulnerable person. I am very fragile and sensitive. As I mentioned before I think my limbic system does not work properly. My anxieties can be so easily be triggered. I am always in this high alert state. (I think DFW was in a similar postition.) I am worrying so much. The fact I have no control about my own life always makes me suicidal. I think about what will likely come in my life and I am so scared about it. I think something in my brain is not wired correctly. I never had a basic sense of trust when I grew up. I always was threatened even by my own parents. This is probably the root of my problems. Though the bullying also played a big part in my development. But what do I get from all these analyses. This often cannot solve my problems. However it can be sometimes comforting to know that I am not responsible for this mess.

I should not mourn too much about my feelings. There are many people in this forum who have currently way more pain. But there is always this deep sadness inside myself. These thoughts about my own death. To the question in the title. Yes my suicidality can be extremely easily triggered. I have the feeling sometimes my suicidal thoughts are even kind of a ritual. Especially before I go to sleep I give myself away (surrender) to these thoughts. In the evening I embrace these thoughts because I know they are a part of me. And they will likely accompany me as long as I live.

I also bit messed up by my childhood and by bullying. Waking up early in the morning can trigger thoughts of suicide. Seeing how trash everything outside looks like, feeling how small I am compared to the world sometimes makes me anxious and suicidal. But these things matter to me. Also thinking about large spans of time filled with work is trigger. It is very crushing to have to work in decaying world, knowing It will all add up to nothing.

In my case, even little things can make me feel even more suicidal. I see life as being very depressing overall and I struggle to cope with life. I prefer to isolate myself from everything, I think that is the best thing for me. I have never wanted to be alive and nothing would ever make me want to live. I will never not be suicidal. I wish you the best.

Mine can be triggered very easily.
Though not officially diagnosed, I suspect I also suffer from ocd as I have severe intrusive thoughts, and frequent rumination. Though, my focus on suicidal thoughts feel more comforting, than the terror that other intrusive thoughts cause.

For me, obviously sad events trigger suicidal thoughts. Also any mention of suicide, whether in fiction, books, music, movies, or real-life sets them off. Looking at things I could use to cause harm to myself triggers them.

Confusingly, even when I'm in a genuinely good mood, they still happen 'this won't matter because I'm going to ctb,' 'id better enjoy this happiness while it lasts because I'll die someday,' things like that.

It's... Not frustrating, exactly, since it's more of a comfort or coping mechanism. But I know it's certainly not healthy for me to move through life like this.

Yes, everything in my life is just a distraction from the fact that I want to die. So whenever things are going "good" for me I get distracted and won't think about it. But then once something bad happens I'm reminded how terrible my life actually is and that everything I'm doing is just me trying to pretend it's not. It's like when you go out and have fun and then come back home to your dysfunctional family and remember why you hate your life. That's what it feels like when my suicidal thoughts are triggered.

The last few weeks the thoughts have been utterly constant.

Contemplating my suicide is the only meaningful thing that reduces my anxiety. Not existing is so goddamn beautiful, that I at least want to pay respect to it with some patterned firing of neurons giving rise to thoughts of gratitude.

My thoughts never go away. They are constant 24/7 from the second I wake up, to the moment I go to sleep. I never have a break where I don't feel this way.

How long has it been as such?
