How are they doing?
Are they in extreme torture? The worst “diagnosis” you could have?

What do you mean? Diagnosis varies from person to person, some consider sz to be the worst but someone else with a diff diagnosis might have a worse prognosis than someone else with sz.

I couldn’t think of a more extreme state of mind than suicide

I have had on and off suicidal ideation at points in my life. One thing I have learned, for me, is that the sharp impulse only lasts a few minutes. That is why distraction is such a big part of my safety plan. If it keeps happening over and over, it is harder to ignore. But it can get better. Medication helps. Therapy helps. Forming connections helps. Trusting in the connections you already have helps. For me, when I am in that state of mind, it is hard to believe people actually like me. I feel like everyone secretly hates me and would be happier if I died. It makes me want to shut down and isolate, but that only makes the suicidal thoughts worse. Reaching out to people helps, because it reminds me that my fears of rejection are overblown. Sure, some people dislike me. But the people in my life are there on purpose, and they like getting the chance to show me that.

I suffer ideation. it’s torture dangerous and serious.
For me, the preoccupation and thoughts were intrusive and distressing daily without waivering and go on for years.
With or without other symptoms, ideation escalates to research, planning, and action.
Being aware of the stages for me is important. I have a rigid safety plan and it’s very helpful.

I had many suicide attempts…the ideation and self harm both got a lot better with the clozapine. I don’t know how it works but it does for me.

I don’t talk about it because someone can kill me and make it look like suicide because I was talking about it.

I have pseudo suicidal thoughts. I feel depressed sometimes and then it crosses my mind, but I don’t dwell on it.
plus I am crazy and think that if I die I can go to an alternate reality/dimension and meet my voices.
I had suicidal tendencies for about a two year period, my attempts were almost completely a year apart. all I can say is that I had no hope. I was stuck on risperdal it seemed and I wanted to be free…bad bad…suicide is always a mistake…don’t do it…it only hurts those who love you that are left behind to try and figure out what they could have done to change your mind…selfish act too…all about you…it needs to be a hopeful situation to get out of suicidal ideation I think.

am lucky 2 b alive after 3 attempts in 2000
I have a lot of suicidal ideation. It is always triggered by pms and/or by the contact with my dad. Not wanting to hurt my son keeps me here. And fear of what comes after death.
my cure not kill myself was in 2007, I made a pact with myself to never kill myself even when I feel like ■■■■
Sometimes it’s not good to have insight and be logical where logic tricks me that it makes sense. It’s good to distract yourself. Go eat. Some kind of self care and hobby.
It’s hard tho cause ideation is intrusive.
There was another sad story when a guy jumped off a high rise but miscalculated and landed on a pole. He didn’t die just got empaled instead
