How to Stop Thinking About Suicide
Thoughts of suicide can be difficult to cope with and can seem overwhelming. However, with dedication and perseverance, it is possible to break the cycle of suicidal thoughts and learn to manage them. Here are some tips for managing these thoughts and reducing their frequency.
- Recognize feelings when they first begin. Awareness is key and can help you understand your triggers and implement coping mechanisms.
- Take time for yourself. Reducing stress and finding time to relax are important components for managing suicidal thoughts before they become more difficult to cope with.
- Distract yourself. Whether it’s through hobbies, listening to music, or reading, distracting yourself with activities can be a helpful way to cope.
- Talk to someone. You don’t have to go through this alone. Talking to a trusted friend, family member, or therapist about your suicidal thoughts can help you process and manage them more appropriately.
- Reach out for professional help. If your thoughts are becoming problematic and difficult to cope with, and if you are feeling unsafe, please reach out to a mental health professional or suicide hotline to get the help you need.
