Ever recovered from suicidal thoughts and truly wanted to live after? Have they ever came back?

Yes, I reversed my decision after attempting. It was 11 years ago when I had Bipolar but didn’t have sz symptoms yet. I was very happy I survived. Life is harder now with sz than with Bipolar but I have no intention of doing that again. Life has its happy moments and it gets a little easier every day.

I have been intensely suicidal and been hospitalized for it 5 times. With medication and time the thoughts go away. I also rely on my faith to get me through. Now i want to live, so there’s that. Suicidal thoughts don’t have to last forever.

I went from suicidal thoughts and 2 attempts to wanting to live around another 8-10 years. Improvement I guess.

That’s promising to hear from all of you. I don’t plan on acting on them but my anxiety has been so crippling and my depression has got me losing hope. I just need hope. I have my first ever meeting with a psychiatrist on the 27th, I hope he/she changes my meds. I feel trapped in my own mind/body but can’t do much without feeling anxious and having a racing heart

If you have important questions or things to say it might be helpful to write them down. I have a bad habit of forgetting to tell her important things and then I have to wait another month.

You are exactly right. Hold on tight to it because it will save you. Hope is the key for me. As long as I have hope I’m safe. When I start to lose hope I know it’s time for help. I’m so sorry you are struggling now but happy you are reaching out. I’ll be holding good thoughts for you and hope your pdoc appointment goes well.

I wanted to die for many years, from age 16 to 37. I kept trying to kill myself. I want to live now.

Yes, I noticed that, one day, when I told myself to be careful, I really meant it. It was followed by the statement I want to live and I also meant that. Before, I was in fake it 'til you make it mode.

Thanks everyone
I tried a couple of times when I was first diagnosed. But I have found being upset does not usually last long. I will always have the small scars on my wrist to remind of that. I may passively think it every now and then but I don’t think I will ever get to a point in my life where I would consider it.
