Suicide is never the answer, and may be the beginning of something even worse. I do understand getting to the point of not wanting to go on, but we have to keep fighting. A divorce is a loss, but it can be overcome with time. Have you spoken to a therapist about this? I think it would help you a lot. You may need medication to help as well, but this is a decision only you and your doctor can determine. I hope you are getting back out and about doing things you enjoy and seeing friends, this is important. Depression causes us to lose interest in getting out and doing things we once enjoyed, it makes us want to be alone, and have no motivation. There is a lot of help for you, take advantage of this so that you can start living again. Often, most of us find a better life after divorce and can see that it was all for the better. Get help so you can leave the past where it is, it's done and you can't change it. But you do have a choice as to what your life will be from this day forward, don't throw it away. You're young and can still have a wonderful life, don't let this go! You deserve to be happy and fulfilled again, and it will happen with a little help. I've had every loss imaginable and had to fight to keep going, I know you can do this. This is agreat place to find suport for what you're enduring, so feel free to talk to us and know you're not alone. Get help and start living again. Take care....
Sounds like a plan. I often have suicidal thoughts, but realize they are almost normal for me. Not for you, so do talk to your psychologist.
Since my son was murdered by his father a few months ago, life feels very different. I am even less fearful of death now. He will be waiting for me when I decide to go.
Neither of us had any fear of death. He was an adventurer; big game hunter and all that. I am a 74 yr old cancer survivor, who really could care less if next test reveals cancer is back. Having said that, I try to take care of my post anal cancer body as well as I can.
As I've lived my life, there is not much else to experience, except the pain of aging. I do get out and put on a cheerful face when possible: mostly because I know my son who has gone on would want me to. I go to the store, and other places with little panic after several years of being housebound.
I've turned into an observer. Listening and watching without getting involved. I have seen a therapist who said I am handling my son's death well. All normal stuff we go through.
I noticed your divorce. It is a loss on a scale with death for many. Hardest losses per my therapist are spouse and child. Not sure this is true, but what the experts say.
If like me you went through much drama surrounding your divorce, you get kinda burned out. Need to recharge. Talking to your therapist can help. You are young, can find another partner if that is what you want. Try not to be fearful of death. We all die.
I have suffered from anxiety and finally agoraphobia for years. Worked until I was 70, and managed. I accept that my condition shapes my life to a point. In the anxiety forum we talk about acceptance. Best of luck with your visit.
I am going to see my psychologist tomorrow and I will let him know.
If you have thoughts of suicide but some realization that they are of concern it would be best to speak to a psychiatrist now while you still have that awareness. You can discuss any concerns about your life in general with a psychologist as well but the best thing right now would be to have a psychiatrist follow up so that you wouldn't have those thoughts and then you could talk over the feelings that may have created any conflicting thoughts to begin with.
