Discussion Turning my suicidal thoughts into a book

[LittleLadyWorthless]

Dear Sanctioned Suicide members,
I've decided to do something that will help pass my time, whilst fighting with the idea of ending my life.
I've decided to write and get published *hopefully* a book, on what life is like, whilst trying to survive with suicidal thoughts! or not survive, the outcome is yet to be determined.
I know I've got so much to say, to write about my journey, that I know it would be worth pursuing! and this at least helps keep me focused and maybe this book will help others, open up about their experiences with mental health/suicidal issues, and to NOT feel ashamed, like I know most do feel...
Wish me look.
I start this project tonight :D

I think you should, hopefully it would be therapeutic for you to get it all out of your head and on paper. Good luck with it :)

I think this is a great idea. Writing is very therapeutic. Feel free to share.

Thank you @sadsadinfp. That's what I'm hoping for too :D

Thank you @Aliaiactaest. I will be happy to share once I've got some writing done. Hopefully it will help others too :D

Have you also already considered what the title will be? Or will that be for later?
Good luck

I've got books and books worth of thoughts but I can hardly put this post into words that do them justice

That's a really cool idea! I hope you're able to see it through and get it published, I think a lot of people would benefit from a book like that

Very good idea .
I always advocate journaling as a therapy tool - I think it helped me in the past .
You never know what you will discover ...

@Ermac I have the perfect book title, it matches what my book will be about, but for now I'm keeping that a secret, for now at least.

Thank you, and you are right, I could discover lots of things on my journey. I'm pleased it helped you too.

Thank you so much. I appreciate those kind words :D

Maybe one day, you will just start writing and have a book, that you didn't think you'd ever start. Kind of like a surprise to yourself. Never say never #CarpeDiem :D

I think its a great idea,please just be mindful of any triggers it may present when writing.
I do lots of writing too in the hope to write a book also.
There are times when i can write pages and pages but at other times it just seems to intesify my desire to self harm and ctb.

i think that's a great idea. Amazon has a autopublishing service.
If you have any doubt about outlines or techniques issues, would be a real pleasure try to helping a hand you. I do committed to do it.
And while I did not catch the bus.
Now, You look for Why and Whom do you write it,.........and do it. Be honest and what you wrote it, do it from your heart.
A good experience, Luck

Thank you, and my writing will always come from my heart, without heart, how can I expect "readers of my book" to connect with my true emotions!
so connection, is the key to the success of this book. Thank you for the Amazon advice, I'm sure it will come in handy. I will be sure to look into that.
:D

Good luck @LittleLadyWorthless

Thank you for your kind words of warnings in regards to triggers, I will keep that in mind, as i write. I'm actually feeling all kinds of emotions about writing this book, but know I must, as it will for sure help.
I wish you luck on your journey to book writing, I'm sure they will help you too x

Very good idea!
How old are you?
Why are you suicidal, though?
