Hi there people, hope everyone is doing good. I’m a 19 year old male who is struggling with suicdal thoughts. (Even though I know it’s wrong) my mind is tricking me and making me want to die. But I’m holding on went to doctors today and they are going to help me with counciling. But I was just wondering if anyone has been through this could help me? I’m really scared I end up taking my life. I have an amazing family and girlfriend who mean very much to me but when I try think of them these suicdal thoughts push over my mind and I can’t get rid of them they are making me want to let go and kill myself. But I know is wrong I’ve never been like this before as I’ve had a really amazing life and this is all just scaring me. Someone please give me advise I want to be the old me again! I have anxiety but these thoughts are out of control and I don’t want to go on like this. So if anyone please can help I appreciate it!
Hi Darren Nothing is worth taking your life for. Something usually triggers off morbid thoughts such as these. Please ring the samaritians or local crisis team who will support you through this. Drugs, alcohol, bereavement, stress, the important thing to keep telling yourself is that these thoughts will pass but until they do you need motional support . Pateint has produced an excellent leaflet on this and I am sure the EMIS mod will post it to you shortly. Please do not give in you have your life ahead of you. Has your doc prescribed any medicayion for you. Some can increase the depression initially but polease ring a dr or the Samaritans or crisis team or equivalent if not in the UK. x

First if you are in the UK
You can contact NHS Health Information Line on Tel 111 and explain to them how you feel. They can arrange a Crisis Team to visit and help. The Samaritans can talk with you as well
You need to understand the guilt feelings of those around you or their memories of you if you take your life. Most family members will feel anger and guilt, they will never get over a loss like what you may plan. Personally I tried several years ago and the attitude of Doctors and GPs are not what you would expect. Also the heroic attempts to save you. are quite unpleasant dependent on what you had planned
Do you know the reasons why you feel the way you do ?
Make an appointment to see your GP, make a list of your concerns and feelings, explain what you have written down when you see your GP. I found a double appointment is needed to explain these problems you seem to have
