As i myself get them a lot and i mostly end up postponing plans until a few hours later or the next day and by that stage the feeling has passed considerably. I have to tell myself that im not always feeling this low in mood, some days im coping much better than others and actually feel like a human again, i tell myself its mental illness and i talk to someone usually husband and crisis team which helps take the load off, sometimes i post here about it and then ask for it to be deleted a couple of hours later which admin don’t seem to mind. There are a lot of deaths by suicide so i thought i would open this thread to get people chatting with helpful advice and information.

Now you must pick yourself to get her . Suicide is not an option even if you’ve run out of option.As absurd as it be sounds. You’ve only got this pressures life before you die and all of human kind suffers.
I lost my last pressures phone friend to a blood cloth in the brain and I’ve lost my treatment team because they considered me as high functioning Schizophrenic.

Schizophrenia wants to rob me of my life. It wants me to have no friends except hallucinations. It wants me to be miserable and frightened always. I hate Schizophrenia

I’ve had suicidal thoughts on and off since September 2015 which is the same month I got diagnosed with schizophrenia. I kept telling myself if things get too bad I can come up with a plan. Well, my life got much better since then and I don’t have those thoughts anymore. Things can get better.

I think the only approved med treatment for suicidality are Lithium and Clozapine. Therapy helps too without side effects.
That’s one of the reasons I’m on clozapine, for the suicidal ideation. It’s helped me a LOT with that…

Let the thoughts pass, don’t act on them and phone a helpline or use this forum if in crisis.

You’ve actually got to not permit yourself to think about it. I say in my head no I am not getting on that train of thought. I was deeply affected by a pamphlet they gave me at the hospital that had in big letters the statistics of people with sz committing suicide in the first ten years. I definitely didn’t want that to happen so I resolved to be relentlessly positive. It’s worked for me because now they don’t even come up.

make a pact with yourself, say to yourself no matter how awful I feel I will never kill myself, I made this pact with myself in 2003, it has so many benefits

Once I accepted it things became easier no one wants to have sciz but’s no big deal.
I just have little insight or comprehension

Pros don’t just make up diagnosis, you, me and everyone here is probably schizophrenic. But the good news is we can live normal lives if we so choose.
Three people I grew up with hung themselves and are no longer with us. I know a women who attempted to kill herself, a man who jumped of a cliff and someone’s daughter off a viaduct.
All suicide victims not something I want for myself or anyone else.
