When does death seem like the best option to you?

I’d like to start off by saying, I don’t think I’m going to hurt myself. I’m just thinking a lot about how much life sucks and how much easier things might be for everyone if I were gone. No one would have to suffer anymore- not me, not them.

I know many of you have had thoughts like this, so I’m just wondering: At what point do you decide that death is the best option?

If you’re having suicidial ideation (and it sounds like you are) then talk to your psychiatrist immediately.

You said they cut your dose in half and that could be causing it.

Death should occur naturally.
Suicide is never an option.

Death has never seemed like the best option to me.

I’ve had 8/10 head pain that made death seem like a welcome release, but otherwise I feel ok about living.

I don’t feel safe. The crisis hotline I called wasn’t helpful. My husband has to go to work tonight. He can’t call out because if he misses a day during his long week, we lose overtime, and that amounts to a lot of extra money in one paycheck. So I’m on my own for the night.

I consider it every time getting locked up comes up. I value my freedom over everything.

That being said though are you ok? Do you need someone to talk to?

I don’t want to end up in a hospital. I am scared of being put in one if I were to go to the ER.

Everyday…

What are you afraid will happen to you at the hospital?
They might change your meds, which you might need, and they’ll give you a bed to rest in until you recover.

Sounds nice to me.

As much as I hate going to the hospital, death is never an option. You should go to the E.R.

I feel suicidal when I wake up in the morning. It takes a while of the day getting underway before I feel more like myself - if you call suicidal not being myself.

It never is. Please don’t. 1-800-273-8255

There are other people at the hospital, and they are really scary. I know that sounds stupid, but I am. I messaged my doctor to see if she would transition me over to clozapine, but I don’t know if she will. I didn’t tell her about feeling this way. My husband just left for work and the kids are getting ready for bed. I can’t even help them tonight because I am sitting in my room in the dark crying. I’m such a mess. I just feel like all of the happiness has been sucked out of me.

The other people are just people who are in trouble, just like you.

Do you have anyone you could call who could either take you there or stay with you where you are until you feel better?

My husband is the only person I have. My family is all in Texas.

No, your family would be desperate, we would be miserable and you would be death.
There is nothing worse than that… :frowning:

@Happy_H I know we haven’t talked too long on here.

But I lost my best friend to suicide. It has devastated not only my friend’s family but everyone in our community.

I am not trying to give you a guilt trip or blame your feelings.

I guess I am just saying to please stay alive.

All life is precious.

Your family needs you.

Your community needs you.

Please stay alive friend.

I don’t think I will hurt myself. I just wish someone were here with me just in case. I don’t want to be alone.
