Suicide Attempt
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have a Death Note, Yeah I know tv show it's fake and all but I wanted to know, Does writing your own name in a Death Note hoping and believing it would work, count as a suicide attempt?

No, but it means you are having suicidal thoughts. I would advise you to talk to someone you trust or look up resources for suicide prevention online.

I'm with @A MyDepressionTeam Member on this one. Talk to someone, suicidal thoughts are hell to face.

agreed not really an attempt but -- you really need to question why do you need the note and talk with someone close to you or to a professional...ask yourself why am I doing this?

Thanks for your concern however my suicidal tendencies are not as strong in my mind as they were last year. In that regard I am somewhat better.

I definitely think if you are thinking about suicide you need to reach out to someone and talk about it. It would be great if your doctor or therapist could get involved. I have also used suicide chatlines where I could text with a counselor as well. I don't think this counts as a suicide attempt but definitely makes the point that you are considering it and need to seek help. Prayers and thoughts your way!
