This year, my Grandfather and Aunt died in about a three week window, and last year my uncle died.
I have always had depression and anxiety. I self injure as well. I also have a psychologist and psychiatrist.
Lately, my mind keeps telling me that I should die, that things will never get better, that I am a burden on everyone, and I have been coming up with ways I would want to do it, and even thinking of what my note to my parents would be.
I was wondering though, has anyone else had horrible mood swings, worsening if mental health symptoms, and suicidal thoughts after the death of a loved one? I'm scaring myself.

I also have felt that way at times. I was raised to think that suicide was a couwards way out and thaI would not go to heaven if I killed myself.
I guess and fear of God can be a good thing, because those are the reasons I never went through with my thoughts. Also I have a son and I don't want to put that kind of burden on him.
You said you have a psychologist and psyciatrist, have you spoken to either one of them recently? I would encourgae you to do so immediatley, or like fearless said go to the hospital. If you are on meds they might not be working correctly and need to be increased or changed.
You are not alone. I don't know what your beliefs are but I myself believe that just because a loved one has died does not mean they are gone. I believe I will be with my loved ones again someday.
Good luck honey:)
