Keeping My Suicidal Thoughts in Check When I’m Burnt Out Is Hard Work

Burnout is pervasive in our society, which is built on capitalism and measuring our worth in terms of our productivity. We are constantly receiving messages that if we aren’t hustling, producing, or working to the bone, we’re doing something wrong. Many folks feel like they’re always on the verge of burnout, like one more thing added to their plate will tip them over the edge.

2nd leading cause of death for adolescents in the United States. Research shows us that after a decade of decreased rates through 2007, teenage suicide rates are once again going up. The Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) found that between 2000 – 2017, the United States saw a 47% uptick in suicides of adolescents ages 15 – 24.To say it’s something we need to pay attention to is an understatement.

Yes, I Know My Suicidal Ideation Could Be Worse, That’s the Problem

I deal with chronic suicidal ideation — it’s always there, in the back of my mind, where it’s made itself a comfy little home. Some days it’s louder, and some days it’s quieter. On the days that it’s louder, it’s really important for me to reach out to someone for support so that I know I’m not alone in it. On the quieter days, it’s also important that I’m supported when seemingly little things go wrong because that can prevent the ideation from getting louder. The problem is that sometimes the help or advice I get from others is not helpful at all, and can actually make things worse.

Some of the wording in the mental health community is frequently confusing to the point where the meaning of certain terms and phrases are lost. I have found that the phrases self-harm and self-mutilation are some of the most confusing phrases in the mental health community, and it has gotten to the point where I am even confused as to what the meanings of these phrases are in connection to symptoms of depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety and so many other mental health concerns.

All along I insisted that the positive effects of any medication had to greatly outweighed any negative reactions. I was not going to take medication strictly for the sake of taking medication.

On a Spectrum of Suicidal Thoughts, I'm 'Passively Active'

I recently read an article about active suicidal ideation vs passive suicidal ideation. Passive suicidal ideation is when someone has thoughts and ideas about suicide, but no real tangible plan for carrying it out. They may be hoping to die in an accident of some sort, die in their sleep, or by an illness, and not necessarily directly by their own hand. They just know, for various reasons, they would rather not be alive.

When Reaching Out for Help With Depression Leaves You Disappointed

As I scroll through social media, I see on my feed pictures and status updates telling people they are “safe” to talk to about suicidal thoughts. They give out the number to the suicide hotline. They post pictures saying, “I’d rather hear your struggles than hear your eulogy.” You would think this would make my heart happy. Instead, it just saddens me and even angers me. The same people I see post this are people I have personally reached out to when I was struggling. I battle depression and bipolar disorder. I rarely ever reach out for help unless it is extremely bad.

What Helps When I'm Suicidal (and What Doesn't)

I live with chronic suicidal ideation, which at times becomes acute. In these moments of crisis, I am often asked, “How can I help?” I know it is frustrating, but in those moments I have no idea what to tell you. My mind is spiraling and overwhelmed. Part of me doesn’t even consider suicide a problem. I have had these thoughts my whole life. They are who I am. Moreover, I am fiercely independent. I don’t want to be a bother. I don’t want to ask for “help.” My answer will usually be, “It’s OK. I’m OK.”

The Intrusive Thoughts That Loom Over Bedtime as a Cancer Patient

Having cancer is unlike anything else. The entire diagnosis and treatment process is traumatizing to have to go through. It’s full of searching for information on Google, dealing with advice that I’ve never asked for, and trying to find some way to cope with it all. That’s been the hardest part for me — trying to find a way to cope. With my other illnesses, it’s easy. All it takes is medication tweaks and having a few bad weeks. Cancer has other things in mind, and the process lasts for months. I’d do anything to have it be just a few bad weeks.

Electroconvulsive Therapy Traded My Memories for My Life (and I'd Do It Again)

The underside of my right forearm burns where the intravenous line is burrowed into my skin. Milky white liquid flows through the tubing into my vein as the nurse anesthetist tells me to take deep breaths from the oxygen mask upon my face. I feel the adhesive of the electrodes clinging to the skin on my forehead and chest. The ceiling tiles of the procedure room become fuzzy as my field of vision collapses. I grip the nurse’s hand as the sensation of being at the precipice of a roller coaster turns my stomach upside-down — a dreaded experience for someone prone to motion sickness. Still, the temporary discomfort is worth it for my favorite part: nothingness.

September is a great month for a number of reasons. It marks the start of autumn with cooler sweater weather, pumpkin patches, pumpkin-spice goodies, an abundance of in-season apples, Halloween-themed products, Latinx Heritage Month and beautiful autumn-themed color palettes. Plus, on a personal note, September is the birthday month of several Virgo loved ones. Also, as someone whose seasonal depression gets worse during spring and summer, the end of summer is definitely something to celebrate and love. Not to mention, Earth, Wind & Fire’s famed song, “September?” I mean, who doesn’t love that song?

It’s been two and a half years now since my mum died. Many people know that. It was suicide, but I’m not sure how many people actually know that part, mainly because it’s not something they talk about, or something I feel I’m allowed to say out loud. It feels like something never to be mentioned. Dark matter to be kept in the dark — inside my head — saturated in a sticky mix of secrecy, sadness and shame.

While many might associate suicide attempts with a highly visible “cry for help” mentality, many suicide attempts remain unnoticed and untreated, and those who survive them often have to help themselves reorient to life after their “quiet” attempts.

What It's Like to Reflect on Past Seasons of Suicidality

I was suicidal for a period of six months three years ago. It was due to traumatic experiences coming to the forefront of my memory, specifically saving my mother from suicide when I was just a child. Trauma was all around me, in my family, in the people I talked to on a daily basis, in the stories I read and in the work I was doing. Eventually, all of that trauma caught up with me and my mental health suffered immensely.

How My Body Remembers My Suicide Attempt Anniversary Even When I Don’t

Eight years ago, I was given another chance at life; it wasn’t the first additional chance I’d been given, nor would it be the last, but it’s the one that sticks with me the most. Suicide and suicidal ideation have been a part of my life for the last 15 years; I can’t really remember a time when it wasn’t something on my mind. But since 2013, every year in early September, I think about it differently. It’s not even that I consciously have it top of mind — I often forget the exact anniversary and don’t think of it much, but my body remembers. My body’s clock is more accurate than I am. I start to experience nightmares, flashbacks, and my mind and body start to re-experience that suicide attempt like it’s happening in real-time.

In many ways, I’ve been able to see the progress we have made in even just the short time I’ve been alive. But some days, I’m still absolutely blown away by how much it is still so stigmatized and misunderstood. One conversation, in particular, that has slowly gained attention is the discussion around active and passive suicidal thoughts. Many times, that discussion is centered on what passive suicidal ideation is and why it needs to be approached differently compared to active suicidal ideation.
