I haven't been doing very well. The past few days suicidal thoughts would creep in. There was a post yesterday, or the day before, anyway, it was allowing myself to kill myself in a planned way with support of family and friends who didn't want me to suffer my pain anymore and were willing to let me go. It was OK to let go. This thinking actually gave me some relief. There was no pointing the finger, no name callings of selfishness, no religious guilt of condemnation..just pure and simple relief. I had my meds. changed last night. The thoughts of suicide are no longer with me, but the method of how I found relief is very much with me. It makes me wonder if its not just another form of self mutilation, like cutting, only without the physical scars. It makes me wonder if it is healthy thinking or unhealthy thinking, if it is harmless thinking or harmful thinking. I just wondered what your thoughts on this would be.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Glad you got put on a new med. I think thinking about death is normal for us. Maybe not suicide, but what would the world, or our friends and family, be like without us. We have these imaginations, I tend to think "what happened if I died in a car accident" or had a "flesh eating bacteria that puts me in ICU".
I think it's natural to be a bit morbid if you have BP.
i try not to do that anymore, and rather i force myself focus on living rather than dyeing.
It was the BP.It's a clever bastard.Evil beyond our imaginations.
Look at how evil the sane world can be.
Look at what is acceptable in the sane world.????
The insane world is therefore capable of throwing you goggle-eyed, into it's own sick and evil
landscape.
It all passed for me.It was awful but it passed.The theory behind it only comes afterward.When I try and make sense of it.In order for myself to move on.
Not sure if this is what you felt, but I don't believe it's uncommon at all
