The best thing I've done is just to focus on something you love to. What you do has to make you feel productive and worthwhile. When you do something you love and feel good doing, you forget that you even had suicidal thoughts. Though everyone is different, and your circumstances are different than mine. Make sure you remain hopeful, people do and will get through this. It's good that you decided to talk to us about it, don't keep suicidal feelings inside you, it will only make you more insane. I recommend writing your suicidal thoughts down in a journal/diary. This helps me dump all the feelings I have into words on paper. The motion while you write also helps you get out your feelings. Remember that you're not strange, weird, or stupid, you're a human being just like the rest of us. I believe in you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5g89mGNIvU

Have you considered going to see a professional psychologist/counselor/therapist? I highly recommend that you go to a psychologist in your area that is a good fit for you. Just like if you broke your leg, you would go to a doctor. The mental health profession has still made some major advancements and not only that but they have lots of ancient theoretical data from world cultures to base future research off of. Most of the people who choose this profession are very caring people who will go the extra mile for you and actually want to see you be a happier, healthier person. Mental health is something that even a suicidal thinking person should still value, and more so than the average person. Suicidal thoughts are something I have personal experience with. I've had them myself and I know how they can come and go and creep around. It sucks. It's a waste of time and energy. I'm 31 years old and have gone through some major issues. I would highly recommend finding a mental health professional that is a good fit for you. If you're short on cash most employers and some schools have some form of an Employee Assistance Program or EAP which will allow you to receive 3-6 FREE and confidential 45 minute sessions with a person who is licensed, knowledgeable, and has lots of experience dealing with mental health issues, such as suicidal thoughts for example. Like a car or anything in life, if it's having problems and we neglect to fix those issues they often can become worse or cause problems in other parts of our life. Please go see a pro. All you have to do is walk into an office and ask and they will help you with the whole process and it's always confidential. No one has to know anything. Your employer doesn't have to know anything. I applaud you for coming to this website. Obviously you're taking initiative and seeking out profitable solutions to your challenges. Keep up the good word and don't be afraid to take the next step and see how glad you might be on another day in your future when you decided to do something important for yourself. No doubt, you are very intelligent. Mental or emotional challenges can be curses to the blessings that are intelligence and compassion. Don't let the world try to destroy you. Be smarter than the world and be a survivor. Adaptation is critical to any survival situation. We are born to adapt and survive, it's in our blood. Adapting to use all your resources to your best advantage might also include finding a good mental health pro. Keep us updated. Thanks for posting this question.

kill the suicidal thoughts instead. Keep reminding yourself that you DESERVE to live. It not only happens to you.. it happens to everyone at some point in their life. There is nothing new under the sun. You're strong. You can do it!! ;)
