Bad thoughts are creeping in again. Vaguely suicidal ones. How do I stop them? :'(

Although the thoughts are serious, the question proper is more rhetorical than anything.
write them down. and then tell yourself the truth. capture each thought, and make sure it is truthful and positive.

@AliceinWonderland: I know it does. It's something I have to practice more.
@KiwiDan: me too! i'm working on this right now: even if something happens for a reason, doesn't mean i need to know the reason. i don't need to worry about it. this is good for me for anxiety, paranoia, mental health issues.

@AliceinWonderland: That seems like it would be very helpful indeed.
I take a medication that helped me so much that I wonder why I waited so long to get help. I also keep track of my thoughts by writing them down and then I reread them later.
@Iamnolongerhere: this!

@Iamnolongerhere: I'm on medication, but I forgot to take it yesterday (took it today though!), so it might be something to do with that.

Try distracting yourself.

@ZenLioness: I know.
Ok this sounds crazy but it kind of works, look at 3 different things and smell 3 different things.
I hope you are feeling better soon.

@Ginaa: I don't have three different things to smell! :(

I hope you find a way to ignore those thoughts... I struggle with them too. Talking to people helps.

Sending positive waves your way.

@ScarletWitch: Thanks, although I'm not sure waves alone can help in this situation.
