Ive been told its low moods and ive tried a few antidepressants but i am more suicidal on ads
Ive been living with low moods several times a month ( no obvious pattern ) for over a decade

I wish my Drs would prescribe me antidepressants or stimulants, they will make me feel better

Have you had a good cry about it?

I know itā€™s not the same as dealing with suicidal thoughts,

But I have some OCD type thoughts that are very, very difficult.

Pretty much every morning I cry for about 20 mins over my own mortality, not knowing what happens when you die and the unfairness of life in general.

Then I accept my fate and continue with my day.

My point is,

Crying about it makes you feel better.

Life sucks.

A lot sometimes.

Itā€™s worth crying about.

Itā€™s also worth putting up with all the sucky stuff.

Thereā€™s good out there.

Sorry your going throughā€¦ I know how that is ā€¦I think. If you have to get help. Just donā€™t forget that it passesā€¦ Thatā€™s what I tell myself when my intrusive thoughts take over.

Thanks @Charles_Foster @anon31960475

Yes there is good out there. I think its a chemical imbalance in my brain that causes strong depressed moods sometimes but its not all the time so pdoc doesnā€™t think its full blown depression. I cannot really cry about anything because im very numb but thanks for your support replying.

They really are ducky :slightly_smiling_face: with my brain I switched extreme moods some times 4-5 times a day. Itā€™s rough but it comes in waves

Do you want me to make you cry?

Iā€™m very mean spirited.

Kidding.

About the making you cry part.

Seriously,

I hope you feel better.

To misquote the Oscar winning movie ā€œNetworkā€,

Youā€™re a human being, goddamnit,

Your life has value.

Im recognising feelings more lately and all these late nights ive been having and stresses. Im feeling bit more emotions now which is brilliant.
I have eupd so meds numbing me is a godsend because without meds im on an emotional roller-coaster.
Just chilling now thinking how things arenā€™t as bad as they seem sometimes and meds are a lifesaver

My way of dealing with suicidal thoughts or giving up in life is like: As they are just thoughts I try to go with it like try to imagine the scenario what I will do exactly and what are the effects of it for the family or close ones and picture myself going through the pain and is it worth or not.

Then think of what are alternate things I can do to make myself feel better. End of the day we need peace of mind and a smile. For that maybe pick one or two things that we used to do which maybe mundane and boring or something interesting but still better than the pain.

I hear you i do that but its definitely a imbalance for me i get these heavy weight on my shoulders feeling and cant shift it for hours so i think its something out of my control like a chemical imbalance idk
I wait and eventually it passes
Occasionally i do self harm or overdose when i feel it but not as much as i used to so thats good

@anon29983254 I am sorry you self harmā€¦that must be hellā€¦I had a gf whoā€™s daughter was about nineteen and self harmedā€¦awfulā€¦made me feel helplessā€¦I still feel helpless to tell you not to do itā€¦stop completelyā€¦pretty please.
