Feeling Lost and Alone: Coping with Suicidal Thoughts

I understand you. I feel the same way and it’s was a lot worse before and my chronic migraines weren’t helping. I’m here for you if you need someone to talk to… ❤️

What you said reminds me of a song I like called, Numb Little Bug by Em Beihold. You should check it out 🥰. Music is something that helps me cope with the shit I struggle with.

If hotlines are unhelpful for you as they are for me, try Crisis Text Line. Much like a hotline, it connects you to a trained crisis counselor, but with no actual talking needed. It's saved my ass so many times. It's probably one of the reasons I'm still alive. Text "home" to 741741. Please stay. You are strong, you are resilient, and all things pass, even the ones that hurt so much they feel eternal. The bad has a tendency to feel more permanent than the good, but I promise it isn't. You'll find the light again.

I don't know how old you are, and I don't know why you feel that way, but I can say this based on my own experience: what helped me more than anything was taking a moment to realize that if there's one person in this world I want to trust and believe in more than anything, it's myself. I recommend finding some sort of belief system; be it through an existing religion, finding your own path through witchcraft or spiritualism, it'll help how you view the world. On the other side of things, I recommend taking the time to withdraw a little from the world, not too much, ie too often, but taking the time to think and go through your own thoughts can bring out some surprising conclusions and beliefs in your own thought processes that are and aren't healthy.

I feel like this a lot too. I will usually start, and this is best way I can explain it, pretending like my life is self-insert fan fiction. Whatever I’m hyperfixating on I pretend like my everyday is living in that world. When school was draining the life out of me, I was pretending I was an undercover agent and played that role in my head and that got me through the days. I’m not sure if this helps, but it’s what I use to cope with this feeling
