Hi. I'm sorry just coming back

[Amg]

I'm struggling with mental health issues and suicidal thoughts that I would never act on. My question is: Does anyone think emotional regulation, mindfulness techniques, relaxation techniques, grounding techniques, distress tolerance skills and calming strategies help with suicidal thoughts and mental health problems

 

[OliveJewel]

I think yes, but for me it had to be in the context of a therapeutic relationship—doing those on my own did not significantly affect my suicidal ideation and other PTSD symptoms.

 

[Sideways]

My short answer? Yes. And when the SI passes, they can help prevent it recurring when practiced routinely.

But, not necessarily on their own.

 

[EveHarrington]

Yes, I do believe they can help, but you may need other support as well.

 

[arfie]

no apology needed for the hiatus, amg. move at whatever speed or intensity fits your comfort zone.

i swear by all of those techniques for my personal mental health, but mastery takes time. they are not microwave solutions.

Yes, I think they work, with or without a therapist.
