Discussion Where are you on the Emmengard Suicide Scale today?

[AJ95]

I really like this scale for trying to place my emotions and level of distress.

Where are you guys today?

edit: a couple of people are saying 10, keep in mind this means that you're literally trying to kill yourself right now

 

[L I F E T O L O S E]

10

 

[rt1989526]

I'm a 9 all the time.

 

[Lmd]

9

 

[RUnger823]

Between 6 and 7. I've been as high as 8 recently.

 

[esse_est_percipi]

between 6 and 9, every single day.

I can't remember what it was like to be at 3 or 2, let alone 1.

 

[AJ95]

10

You're actively trying to kill yourself right now?

 

[L I F E T O L O S E]

*thinking seriously*

 

[fox21132113]

6-8 daily, can be impulsively a 10 at any moment

 

[Valon]

6-8. I don't think I've ever met anyone who was a 1 unless they were on drugs.

 

[Sam57]

Was 1 few months ago, now I am a 10 since a few months.

 

[BitterlyAlive]

I'm at an 8. :/ Maybe 8.5 since I have half formed plans in my head. Idk

 

[Ghost2211]

7, one of my little blessings is intentionally giving me as hard a day as she possibly can.

 

[Acopia]

6-8. I don't think I've ever met anyone who was a 1 unless they were on drugs.

I was going to say this.. like watching Impractical Jokers after smoking something funny

 

[Shades of Grey]

I generally vacillate between 7, 8, and 9.

Today's a 7 sort of day.

 

[Acopia]

I'ma 7-8, trying so hard not to get any higher.

 

[esse_est_percipi]

I would say 2, 3, and 4 are the 'normal' range, with most people being at 3 most of the time, and at 2 or 4 the rest of the time.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I'm cruising at a low 4-5 today thankfully.

Long term, I am a 9 though. I'm just glad I have a long time to plan it.

 

[whywere]

8

 

[LonelyNick]

Solid 8

Oh I know the feeling. Quiet places help :)

 

[Ghost2211]

It's ok her mean little butt is in bed now.

 

[Mischievous]

8 and 9. I've written my will, slowly consolidating my digital library for family, working on my farewell message, got the gear to commit the act. It's slow going but I'll get there.

 

[fox21132113]

Freedom! Mine just crashed too, not enough time for tv though, off to bed and work. Rinse, repeat until Saturday.

What does yours do to get you in that place?

I can relate with that cycle. Going to bed is the most amazing part of the day.

 

[BitterlyAlive]

6-8. I don't think I've ever met anyone who was a 1 unless they were on drugs.

Drugs or in a full-blown manic episode. I can't imagine. It really sounds painful to be so happy

I would say 2, 3, and 4 are the 'normal' range, with most people being at 3 most of the time, and at 2 or 4 the rest of the time.

Not to sound like an ass but I honestly can't imagine living like that. It seems so...carefree.

 

[Rn110bg101]

Between 8 and 9.

She's high functioning autistic, and has decided tantrums are the best way to get much desired attention even if it's negative. Ignoring doesn't help. All I can do is keep telling her that isn't acceptable, and give myself space to try to stay calm.

13. just waiting for my plan to come to fruition. Slowness in coming up with a plan was leading to severe anxiety and hightened depression. Now that my plan appears to be in place, I'm feeling like 50 tons has been lifted off my shoulders:) The anxiety is evaporating. We live in a Society that disallows adults to buy N, so we must all take other measures~

 

[BorderlineSuicidal]

I was at an 8-9, but I .managed to distract and calm myself down to about a 5.
