Coping with Intrusive and Suicidal Thoughts

Doing something like going for a walk or writing a poem or cooking/eating. Watching Youtubers, helps me to keep my mind busy so I can't focus on self harm or suicidal thoughts🙏

I have a couple different ways… When it’s just thoughts, I typically sleep or distract myself somehow. Once I start having visualizations, I have someone that I can reach out to, who helps me work through the emotions and reason(s) that I’m struggling with those thoughts. It’s a lot better than I helpline, because it’s someone who actually cares about you as a person. It’s terrifying telling someone you are struggling with these thoughts. Make sure that if you go that route, it’s someone you trust. And who isn’t going to judge you for having them. I hope this helps at least a little bit. 🙂
