I start searching for professional help, because suicide leaves behind broken hearts and broken minds. You might be “dead” but others are left to live through all of the destruction and aftermath.

I think about the people with failed suicide attempts who messed up their faces and have to get surgically implanted faces and become disabled.

I tell myself that I haven't lived my life to the fullest. Merely surviving is not good enough. I want to thrive. I deserve it.

I remind myself that I’ve gotten through this before, and I need to be patient. And I remind myself of all of the people who would be hurt by my act.

Sending you love, OP.

I remind myself that the struggle is DEFINITELY real but it is also temporary. Just keep on pushing.

That I have so much that I want to see and try out.
That my dog needs a face to be all up in (he's a bit clingy smh).
That my death will negativity impact my family and dog.
That I haven't tried out that new game I torrented and how much I love to finesse software and games from these major studios and corporations. Cuz fµck em.

It's little stuff that helps me keep on going. Along with therapy!

I have younger siblings and I don't want to do that to them, also my mother. I know you have the mind set that people will be better off without you but it actually creates this big black hole in the people who love you's lives. I've seen this for myself because I know people who have committed suicide and even decades later their families are still hurting. Everyone who loves you will blame themselves.

I tell myself that I never want my loved ones to feel the pain I felt when 2 of my dearest loved ones took their lives. After feeling that devastation , I only thought about living and refused to look back since

Do any of you wonder why people who want to live are taken in the blink of an eye, but genuine suicide attempts didn’t work for you? Don’t you ever wish you could switch? Just thinking out loud

Whenever I get down. I remember what others have and have done. I know I can do it too. I think about the people I love and how they need me.

I think about my haters. I want to live to show them how great I became. If I end it all. I will prove them right. They'll say " See I told you she was (insert something insulting)"

Oh- I remember the saying- Don't take a permanent solution for a temporary situation.

Maybe I think am I in pain atm? If not, what is making me feel this way...and if I come to the conclusion that it is social or the ego I let it go because that's simply my monkey brain saying stupid things like how others view me is soooo important when it's really not, what's important is that I'm here now and no ones going to keep this moment from myself. Also I try to keep away from people and places that make me feel like I'm not enough.

I wish all of you happiness, success, health, love and healing. I know how bad things seem in the moment but they will get better. Be patient and kind to yourself. You’re doing the best you can and one day you won’t just survive, you will thrive. My inbox is always open for anyone who needs a sympathetic ear.

I would remind myself that this too shall pass. Nothing lasts forever in life, both the good and the bad.

That whatever I’m feeling or whatever situation I’m in, it is not permanent.

also, that I want to be able to see my nephews and niece grow older. I love them too much.

I just say that my cat will miss me. Tbh, I don't think that's true but it stops me from trying anything.
Your cat will miss you. Trust me. When I got my cats, it was when I was going out of town for school so I wouldn't see them for months. They stayed with my parents. When I got back home my cats were very happy I was home and showed this by making a high pitched meows, purring really hard and tumbling around and rubbing against me.

Your cat WILL miss you.

You are not alone in these dark thoughts that you have. It can get better for you. It will get better for you. Take care of yourself because you're worth it.

That suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It solves absolutely nothing and doesnt give you a chance to CHANGE it. SOMEONE will hurt for you, cry for you when your gone.

First I will say you shouldn't feel any guilt about the thought of leaving your loved ones behind. I found that when contemplating suicide, I only thought of others and not how to "heal" myself. I would also this too shall pass even when I didn't believe it. I would think if I can just wait another day, maybe I'd feel differentially in the morning. I think places I would like to and things I want to do. But most times willpower isn't enough and that's when inpatient stays and therapy in and outside the hospital is extremely important..I also ask Jehovah for help even if its just a little of His Holy Spirit to help me get through the latest episode helps me.

I picture my mom being the one to find my body and having to see the place where I did it. Everytime I picture that I break down and get ashamed of my selfishness. Even when I'm most angry at her, I can't imagine doing that to her

I listen to Joyner Lucas- “Sorry” on repeat. The second verse is my saving grace.

That my family would be sad if I killed myself and that I wouldn’t accomplish my dreams and goals if I died.
