Never Have Done It But How Does One Deal With Thoughts Of Self Harm?

They usually classify these thoughts as " suicide ideation" if you are talking about wanting to die or wishing you were dead, without having any actual plan of doing it. It sometimes feels like it's the only way out, and you'll never get better, but that's the depression talking and lying to you. I've had these thoughts many times, but then I would think about how it would affect those around me and realized I couldn't do that to them. Depression is horrible to make you even think like this, and if it starts getting more serious you need to go to a hospital and talk it out with a mental health professional. You have to keep in mind that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I have to go to the hospital when that happens. It doesn't happen very often but it does happen. I don't control it very well.
