Hi everyone! I've been struggling with depression for almost 5yrs and I've been extremely suicidal at times. I'm just now joining this group for advice since I want to know maybe how long it will take for my suicidal thoughts to diminish? I forgot to ask my therapist this my last session with her.

Hi no one knows this and they might never go away completely but they will get more manageable in time. The better you get then hopefully they will go then so keep on with your therapy for as long as you need.

I am no doctor. When those suicidal thoughts appear, try distracting your mind with things that don't interest you or keep your brain busy by exposing yourself into a world beyond your realisation. Observe every detail of an object. Take nature as an example. Trees, input a good amount of your energy into understanding the diferent phases and layers of climatic events that they experience before and throughtout our existence. Another thing you may want to try is music
