Tap for spoiler
First, I apologize if this is too heavy of a question, so I will delete upon request. However, a thought came to me recently…
Isn’t it normal for people to occasionally have suicidal thoughts and/or thoughts of self harm?
I mean, think of it this way …every human being gets sad now and then, right? So it seems like this would be a normal effect from it. We pathologize things like this, but I’m wondering if it’s just common to the human experience.
I know it sounds like an incredibly stupid question, but that’s why I’m posting it here.
Before you get concerned, no I am not going to harm myself. I have a lot of really good days too and have recently seen a psychiatrist to ask some questions. I’m in a very good mood right now. So all is good here. Just had this one question. Because I realized that I’ve always been kind of that way when I’m in a really bad mood is all!
Thanks!
Void thoughts. A sanity check for your brain. If your answer to “should I?” becomes a “maybe” or “yes” instead of “no”, you need serious help. Otherwise, don’t dwell on it, look for good things to do. If you sit idle too long (sit/lay and do nothing at all the entire day/night), these thoughts can increase in intensity with the lack of external stimulation. Life’s hard, but don’t check out early or your enemies win.
