Comfort in suicide ideation

[No_more]

Does anyone find comfort in suicidal thoughts? I find that the thought of suicide is like a safety net. When I'm without it I feel more anxious.

 

[Despairing]

Yep it is very common.

 

[KleinerWolf]

Yeah same.
I find comfort in knowing I still have control over things.
I would prefer not to die though.

I don't think suicide gets me that much further.
Not exisiting sucks.
I plan on achieving all my goals before I die lol

 

[cyclamen]

Absolutely.

On many occasions, the only reason I'd been able to fall asleep was because I pictured my suicide to calm myself down.

I'm pretty apathetic in my day to day life, but sometimes, usually before I go to sleep, the dam breaks a little. When that happens I'll either suffer until I'm exhausted, or calm myself down by picturing a very realistic suicide (amongst other things).

I've also materialized my thoughts into a person? I dont know, but to me my suicidal ideation and depression has a physical appearance. When I feel emotionally isolated from everyone in my life (which is often) I can feel that person holding and comforting me. And whenever I'm stressed, they're there to distract me from whatever's going on around me.

Basically, me picturing my thoughts as a semi-physical being gives me the physical and emotional connection I dont have with anybody in my life.

So, yeah, suicidal thoughts are an anchor in my life stronger and more reliable than any other I've seen.

Yes, it happens to me a lot, sometimes it even helps me sleep (because it relaxes me).

It's very common.

No relation to Philip!

Hehehehe

I always read his name wrong

Yes I do, but what helps even more is having an actual method accessible on hand, because then I know beyond a reasonable doubt that I can CTB on a short notice and whenever I choose to, which brings me great relief. This is why when I had my method (a firearm) back at the end of 2018 and for almost all of 2019, I felt a great sense of relief, knowing that whenever and wherever I die, it will be on my own terms. Also with a reliable and instant method, I need not to worry about pain and failure especially if I know what to do and do it correctly.

"Without the idea of suicide, I would have surely killed myself." Cioran

 

[SummerDreamer]

yes, it is very common. I find it distracts me from my emotional pain regarding everything else in my life, and knowing there is a way out of the mental torture is a huge comfort to me.

 

[Deleted member 17949]

Yeah, suicidal thoughts are a blanket for my fragile emotional state

 

[Deleted member 19654]

It's comforting to know that I have the option of ending my life and leaving this miserable world

 

[I screwed up]

Absolutely ... Suicidal ideation and this site keep my anxiety at bay

 

[Soulless Angel]

they defo help, knowing that the option is there, knowing It is one choice I , and I only can make and no one can stop me,
Deep in the night when I cannot sleep, envisioning the end is soothing.

 

[whywere]

Totally agree. I find happiness in the fact that i have a pure out if needed.Thinking of moving on to the next experience is very soothing for me when life bites.

 

[Hielier]

Yeah, it is like "if something goes wrong, I can always kms". Like a way to escape.

 

[Pan]

If anything, suicidal ideation protects its victims, whille reaffirming the power of choice. One can step out at anytime, and for whatever reason. Just knowing that this choice is there is enough, I think.

I already have all my things ready so if anything in my life goes very wrong I can escape with my method. Suicide is comforting to me, it's the final escape from my troubles!

 

[Wayfaerer]

The best sleep I've ever had since my whole mess started was when I finally reached the point of planning suicide. So much relief, I slept like a baby afterward!

 

[rt1989526]

Ive been doing this since as early as I can remember. I absolutely relish the idea of not having to be alive anymore, to no longer have to do this fucking garbage.

 

[W3akCr3atur3]

It helps me calm my anxiety down and understand that I am still kinda in control of my life. If things goes too bad I won't need to suffer too much, because ctb is always a way for me.

 

[lighthousekeeper]

yes definitely, I find comfort in there being a way out, but i also kind of seem to use it as an excuse... so what if I'm a burden on my family, I don't want to be alive, etc.

 

[I screwed up]

I wanna ctb now ... But I dont have the guts ... I don't know what to do ... I need an out ..all I do is ideate . I fuckin hate myself , I wanna die now ... Pl kill me

 

[omsoc]

I actually posted about it on my profile yesterday. I feel the same.

 

[redbutterfly]

the thought is extremely calming for me

 

[FriendofDeath]

I am odd one out, it looks like. I think about suicide and death a LOT due to my past experiences. I was watching an old TV show and two characters fell off a bridge. And what do I say? That won't kill them - it isn't high enough. What a SS thing to say! Growing up I was a human barometer and was good at predicting tornadoes (without all the weather info we have today). Now I'm more in tune with death - maybe it's because I don't just accept it - I want to understand it. Can't, unless you go to the other side... :)

 

[Bruces]

yes I'd like to go too

 

[FailedPhoenix]

Very often the thought I can ctb is the only thing that gets me through the painful days and nights. It's the only thing left I feel I have control over.
