I haven't had suicidal thoughts since my last suicide attempt. I consider this a big victory for myself.

However, I do have intrusive thoughts randomly when I'm angry or things are just not going right about being dead or disappearing off the face of the earth.

I was taught a neat little trick that helps sometimes. When a thought crosses my mind, I immediately acknowledge it, validate it, then replace it with a positive thought. Such as trying to quickly name 5 things that you're thankful for, or things that I'm looking at that strike me, or something similar to that. Sometimes I even try to think of several cute nicknames for my dog, and that gets me thinking about something else, and will push those clouds away for at least a little bit.
