How to cope with the return of suicidal thoughts?

[arich62]

I feel your pain. I understand. I hate it when those thoughts occur. I have had much to much time on my hands during this lockdown. It makes me feel super paranoid when I have thoughts of suicide ideation. I'm like, wtf? This lockdown is almost over for me, I get to travel home in three weeks, I'm married, I go to church, I just should never feel this way. I had a trigger, past couple days though of a famous actor who did himself in, that was very disturbing, it brought me back to bad times in the 1980's.

I too am looking for strategies to cope, it's probably important to share so the suicide ideation loses it's grip on me

I read my post from last week and a lot of the issue is marriage. I don't like the way we are together constantly, with lockdown going on. I have lots of inner anger to work out. Going back to Oregon might help a little, being home but still carrying my baggage around with me. My codependency is eating me up right now.

Some people who get depressed get suicidal while some others who get depressed don't.

I started having suicidal thoughts at around age ten.
