The problem with suicidal thoughts is that theyāre not just there when your sad. Youāll be there, chillin, reading a book or talking to a friend and youāll think āThis is nice. But do you know what would be better? Death.ā
@lumos-vs-noxĀ Ā This is referred to as āmild suicidal ideationā or the desire for suicide without substantial action behind it. It often happens when someone deals with prolonged mental health issues and suicidality at a young age. When youāre young, we go through a period where our neural pathways completely rearrange- the things that happen to us at that time will influence these changes. In a way, suicidal ideation becomes an ingrained coping mechanism. A sort of āwell at least suicide is always there for meā. Your brain is part-muscle, it remembers things, it learns, itās super great at adapting, this is just a reflex. It doesnāt mean you are weak, it doesnāt mean you arenāt in recovery.
