Repetitive Thoughts of Death: Is it Depression?

DeathRay

301d

Does anyone else have a voice in their head that repeatedly says "I'm ready to die" and "It's my time. I don't mind if I go" even though you definitely DO NOT want to die and your whole being is against the idea of it? Is that depression? Is it something else? I'm at my wits end with it and I just need to talk about it. my roommate says he has it too and it's a depression symptom, but I'm just not sure.

      I've been there. I didn't want to die, quite the opposite. But it was like I thought it was fate, as if I had no control over it. I had no plan or desire to kill myself, but I asked my husband to hide my Ambien and the scissors in the bathroom. I've gotten a pretty good hold on things with my new meds and no longer have any sort of suicidal thoughts, but feeling that was was incredibly scary.

      I’m not sure if it was switching from lithium to lamictal OR the 8 ECT treatments I recently had OR the mental breakdown (maybe psychosis?) I had before being hospitalized, but for the first time in 25 years my chronic suicidal ideation is gone and it’s weird, I definitely like it, but it’s just weird. I hope you find the treatment you need to help you make that mental shift.

      I feel that way all the time but I'm not sure if it's my depression, anxiety or PTSD

      I wake up crying, upset that I woke up. Its a constant daily battle to ignore the su1c1dal thoughts.

      Sounds like intrusive thoughts! These are usually associated with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. They suck!! I’m sorry you are having them. Please look up articles on how to manage them. Hang in there!

        @Littlegirlblue The most intrusive thought I think I have ever have. I have all of those things and this is just driving me crazy. I've read about coping mechanisms, and I need to read more, but I just want them to ease!

        @SuicideShrimp I'm not sure what it is, all of the above? I know it sucks though.

      Stay strong. Those are just thoughts. They aren’t permanent either and you can get through this. I got your back.

        @Kretty Thank you! I feel as if they're constant sometimes and they drive me mad. I just want to live and be happy. It's so nice to have people on my side even if we have never met. 🤗
