Suicidal Thoughts- Im Ignoring Them But I Want Rid Of Them

[gordiescotland1]

Hi there the last few days I have been experiencing suicidal thoughts and racing thoughts I am trying to ignore them I dont know why I am experiencing them. I have no intention of acting on these thoughts. I dont know how to get rid of them. I am frightened of going to see my GP in case I am admitted to hospital straight away. But I want rid of them. I am not on any medication for the mind. So maybe I need to be

Hi Gordie,

I would go and see your GP, you will not be put in hospital or be made to see a psychiatrist unless you said to them that the minute you walk out his/her door you would kill yourself.

They wont treat you like you are crazy, you would be suprised how many times they come across people who have had suicidal thoughts of some sort, they will be very sympathetic.

What they will do is offer you the chance to see a psychologist, who will do some cognitive behaviour therapy, to help you to get to the route of these thoughts and effectively deal with them.

Its a series of one on one sessions in a comfy enviroment (all confidential) , it is not an overnight cure, but it certainly does help and it will put you on the right path to sorting out these racing thoughts that are upsetting you.

It seems that many of us understand this -I certainly do.

I managed to tell my GP that I had an almost irresistable urge to drive my car, very fast, into a wall or tree. This was twenty years ago. Medication sorted me out, so please go to see your GP. :)

Gordie will never get best answer on AB as he never does answer.
He verges on extremely rude and obtuse in some of his OP's and then is downright rude in never acknowledging the replies people have gone to the bother of posting to him, for no-one elses benefit but his. I often wonder why people bother to be honest.

He is just a needy selfish person to leave people wondering if he is OK.

^^^ I hope that does not undo any of the helpful comments directed at gordie.

[DTCwordfan]

yes, I'm a little surprised by that one as well, pasta.....

[kylesmum]

pasta and DTC...he posted on 14 July...he was on tonight and still didn't come on and reassure people. I'm not cruel...look back ALL his precious posts and then go figure.

I'm not being held in any way responsible for his lack of etiquette.

[DTCwordfan]

okay, km, but if he/you/whoever is in depression, bordering on the suicidal, you're not thinking straight and tend to inwardly focus.....so a thank you isn't even likely to come back......think that you are a little harsh here therefore....

[DTCwordfan]

I'm signing off after that learned psychological trash.........

[Bathsheba]

@retrocop...bit unfair there, I thought....I just had a quick scan through gordie's past posts + it didn't http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/ChatterBank/Question1425629.html...
take me long to find this....

[pastafreak]

The fact that someone does not react/think in a manner acceptable to you does not give you or anyone else the right to be so harsh/cruel. You do not/cannot know what goes through that persons mind to make them so "unacceptable" in *your*eyes...so maybe keep the unkind comments to yourself.

Good find Baths...*thumbs up"

He has depression and anxiety. It's nothing at all to do with being selfish or attention-seeking. He's struggling and looking for help. Hopefully he will go back to the doctor and get back on track, but nobody chooses to feel like this.

[DTCwordfan]

thanks baths, maybe we could see a couple of apologies here but I very much doubt it.

[Bathsheba]

I spent 6 months lying down either on the bed or on the sofa. To move from either of those places to interact with people even online was a herculean effort for me, so please, retro, + any others thinking like he does,...have a care and a little bit of compassion.

Is It Illegal To Send A Nasty Birthday Card
Somebody really hurt me by damaging my reputation and spreading lies about me it has caused me great pain over a year unable to get over it. I know she has a special birthday coming up over the next few weeks and I wanted to send her a sympathy card instead of a birthday card saying that I hope unhappiness, misery and bad luck and ill health will become her over the next year for all the pain she has caused others, I know of 2 more people she has hurt badly. I know its not very nice but it will get it out of my system, it may mar her day slightly that is a postiive for me or it may not but I just want to make sure it is not illegal I dont see how it could be it surely is not illegal to wish you someone ill if you have no intention of doing it to yourself. But i would not do it if it was illegal Im paying enough with my own bitterness without paying other ways.

Nice Christian thoughts from a church goer who even his own vicar told him he was a confrontational pain in the backside.
The Op admitted to being very abusive to his sister or other friendly member in another post of his.
Not the type of person I would waste my time with for all the gratitude he gives. Likewise DTW.

[kylesmum]

I suffer from anxiety to such an extent i'd guess that none of you have ever.I have a history which would make your hair curl if you had any.
You...none of you have any clue what any one person suffers just because they don't post on AB...I feel very alone all the time but I don't post here or anywhere.He however didn't post ,he could have taken the time...he's notorious for it. It's rude.
He could have came on and reassured people...anyone with anxiety or depression have times when they have clarified thoughts. I always follow up my posts...

[kylesmum]

* did post

Thank God for online support. I think it can make a huge difference to have advice and caring voices at your fingertips. I wish I had it many years ago...I felt so bloody alone sometimes.
