Hi all, I have recently been diagnosed with BPD and I have very bad suicidal thoughts. Any suggestions on how to get rid please? I have tried distracting and keeping active but they always return. Don't like them, don't want them, scared.
What helped me was to find favorite encouraging quotes and read them when I was getting bad thoughts. There's great ones in the bible too! I believe that everyone is put on this earth for a purpose, find your purpose!!
Dear Mami,
Trying to distract yourself in my experience helps only to a certain point. It's important not to act on these thoughts, but also to try and see what they really are trying to tell you. A chat with a health professional you trust can do wonders. When I was in a crisis like yours I started to get better when I realiseded that those suicidal thoughts were really a desperate cry for help. What would you really like more of in your life?
Hope this helps. Take heart, there's always hope!
Thank you for your replies. Thoughts still there. Life is so cruel. Really need to die. Can't go on like this.
