How do I stop the urges?

[Aguila1794]

Have you ever dealt with suicidal urges? How did you get rid of them?

I hope this isn’t a trigger for anyone struggling with this as well.

I am not sure you can get rid of them.....just ride them out. Try to find something positive or beautiful to focus on...something in nature. Or lie down and let it wash over you.

Therapy and meds are the only things that have ever helped me when I get that down. You need someone to talk to and get out of the echo chamber in your head, at least that's my experience.

I use meds and a therapist I like. It took a while. I also read somethings that made sense. 1. You can't change what you have no control over. I think it's a Stoicism quote by Marcus Aurelius. 2. Say things are bad here but even worse in the unknown place your soul takes you. Everyone thinks it's a better place. What if it isn't. So hang in and think about what you have control over is only you. You don't know what the future brings.

put your favorite music on. what did you do for relaxation before this hit? Do that...read. paint, bake, take a shower/bath. anything that uses your brain.dont say " i want to die." instead say i "i don;t want to live...like this"then dream about what you want to do.

Here's a quote from one of my favorite YouTubers, Thunderbolt Siren 1000.. "Suicide is a permanent solution, for temporary problems." It's not worth throwing away your entire life for a problem that might one day, disappear.
