How to Fight Suicidal Urges & How to Get Help

believeinrecovery:

Life can be hard to deal with, especially when one bad thing after another seems to happen. People who suffer from severe depression may begin to find life hopeless, leading to thoughts about suicide and the urge to act on those thoughts. If you find yourself wanting to commit suicide, you should immediately seek emergency help. Whether you are currently receiving treatment for your depression or not, there are additional measures you can take right now to fight the urges.

Instructions

  1. Give yourself some distance. Promise yourself that you will not act on your urges right now. Say to yourself, “I will wait 24 hours before doing anything,” or even promise yourself to wait a week. By reading this article, you are reaffirming that, while you feel suicidal, you are not acting on it, and this can be an encouraging feeling.
  2. Understand that people do get past the feelings, even people who have actually hit rock bottom in their lives. By not acting on the urges, getting professional help and working at getting better, people have improved their lives and gone on to feel happier than ever, and you are more than capable of the same thing.
  3. Remember that relief is a feeling. Many people consider suicide as a permanent solution because they seek relief from the pain that has built up over time. However, relief is a feeling, and to feel something, you need to be alive. Committing suicide will bring no relief to anybody.

markpinoi: A well-known speaker started off his seminar holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?” Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, “Who still wants it…?” Still the hands were up in the air. “Well,” he replied, “What if I do this?” And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. “Now, who still wants it?” Still the hands went into the air. “My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We may feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who do love you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by who we are. You are special; Don’t ever forget that.

The moment when you realize a child living in total poverty is more happy than you are. Money truly cannot buy happiness. I am in pursuit of that happiness.

Never let anyone make you feel like you don’t deserve someone great. If they aren’t willing to take notice of how great you are, then they aren’t worth your time.
