When I was at the hospital, they made me write a safety plan. I wasn’t suicidal at the time, just psychotic, but they apparently make every patient do one. It had a list of friends I could call if I was in crisis, a list of professional crisis numbers, a list of activities I find relaxing, a list of reasons to stay alive/work towards recovery, and different breathing exercises/calming techniques. Mine had guitar, baking, dancing, and writing as my relaxing activities, and my sister and two friends as my crisis contacts. I think anyone struggling with suicidal thoughts should make a safety plan for themselves.
Wow, this is really great! Mind if I put it in our crisis resources thread?
