Jimmy asked in Social SciencePsychology · 5 years ago

Hi. I want to kill myself. Wrote 6 pages as to why. Good idea to reach out to people on FB?

OK. Hi. My name is Jimmy. I can't stop thinking about death. Through a seriously traumatic event, I have become a terrible and twisted person. My spiel is kinda sorta dark and dramatic. It talks about who I was before the event, talks about what happened during the event, how I have drastically changed into an incredibly ugly person beyond belief, how much I wish I was dead, how twisted I feel, and how I'm in the dilemma of wanting to take the same confidence program that got me into a psychotic episode (I think the way I used it was flawed, not the program itself), but I want to be good and I feel like I'm stabbing morality and God (yes, I believe in God) in the back for doing so. I'm thinking about reaching out to about five people on Facebook as to why, but I'm not so sure I should. I made a list of eight people I could potentially talk to. Most of them I'm kinda not too close to anymore or at all, but some said they'd help me if I ever needed it and others I kinda have respect for. However, part of my spiel includes why I also wanted to commit suicide over what happened with this girl 2 of them are really great friends with (though that's FAR from the main reason why I'm suicidal). I feel my family wouldn't be as helpful in this matter, and it's taking a while to find a counselor. I'm kinda desperate for someone to listen to me and guide me. I thought five people to talk to would be good, but with everything I have to say about myself I feel like it's risky. What do I do?

    Don't. Someone still needs you, which is why you're alive. I don't know why you're alive and maybe you don't either, but I know it's for a good reason. You should try talking for those friends again and let it ALL out and try to tell them the exact same story. to avoid confusion.

    It'll get better while alive, I promise!

    Hi Jimmy, yes you should definitely reach out to these people! Suicidal thoughts are very hard to ignore, and the more you hold on to them, the more likely you are to obsess over them until that's all you can think about. Talking about them is the first step to getting over them. More likely than not, you will not be the first suicidal person that these people have encountered in their life. These thoughts happen to many people, and the truth is most people live through suicidal episodes when they seek help.
