Suicide Can This Happen In Your Subconscious Reptilian Mind?

[Wuro]

Ok, so received bad news about court battle, got heckled by a "friend", left therapy exposed with grounding technique, felt down, walked into traffic making a poor choice about trying to catch bus. Was hit by car. Okay now but was this a suicide attempt that my mind decided on?

Should read without grounding technique.

I'd be more inclined to think it was an understandable lapse in concentration and focus due to stress from those other factors you mentioned. That your mind was distracted by other problems.

Thanks for input. Seriously scared that l attempted something. I was feeling extremely low.

I have never been feeling suicidal and not known it.

If I'm putting myself in dangerous situations because of the danger? Whether it's zoning out in traffic, or picking fights, then for me yah. Definitely. It might not be the only piece to it, but it's definitely a part of it.

If I'm clueless as to the danger? No. That's just me being stupid.

So the first time I do something stupid? Nah. That's not me being suicidal.

Every time after that, that I don't take adequate precautions? Yep. Suicidal in spades.

Just remember l was in a mental fog, it was surreal when l walked out. I didn't even check to see if a car was coming.

I would be having a very serious talk with your therapist. He should be checking your state before you leave. Always.

I stopped going to this therapist. They didn't talk about ptsd or grounding. Only coming to this website was l able to see the whole can of tamales.

I've walked out in front of traffic while dissociated. For me, suicide attempts I'm pretty aware of what I'm doing. Wandering out in front of cars a couple of times? That was more of a wake up call for me that I needed to take the dangers of being dissociated more seriously, and needed to work bigtime on staying grounded, particularly if I know I'm distressed, away from home where I'm safe.

Thanks, this puts it in perspective for me and helps me understand. These days, l am definitely focused and in the moment. But l was trying to understand the complications of this action.

Just nervous about internal wiring and was worried that something jumped the track.
