Yes I’m actually on FMLA for this exact thing right now. It’s not something to mess around with. I have never had plans/intent but have had thoughts constantly recently. Take care of yourself first. I can tell you from personal experience it’s worth it. Be honest with yourself and your therapist.
Legitimately asking - is this not normal? I wouldn’t say it’s frequent, but I do have thoughts about what would happen if I got hit by a bus. Sometimes those thoughts turn into thinking about what would happen if I ended it myself. I always thought that was just a normal part of life - you may get depressed and think about these things, but you get better eventually.
I thought it was normal most of my life. Turns out it's not
For those of you that said yes—is there a sense of intent when you have those thoughts? I feel like I think about it pretty frequently, especially this time of year. But it’s always a very detached kind of thinking, I never have any desire or wish for it to happen. Is that still worth exploring with my therapist? I’ve been dismissing it all as intrusive thoughts.
For a long time I never really thought about how I would do it - and they day I did it scared the crap out of me and I called my therapist immediately. I have since made sure to spend some time in meditation and practicing mindfulness to stay in tune with my feelings and connected with body and mind. It makes a huge difference for me because I am starting to really understand certain feelings and issues as they come up and the triggers.
Yes And yes
Yes and that is one of the most important things to discuss with them. It’s not easy, but doing so has helped me deal with really intense emotions and actually helped me not make an attempt at it too. It was hard for me to admit it to them, but now I’m working through a lot of the issues that triggered it in the first place.
