I had a fun date to ight but eveRN throughout the date and even during the standup comedy act we saw I was having Sui thoughts. I say and stared instead of laughed and when I did it was halfheartedly. Just when I told my T I was on the mend.

Moose the more you up you dose of Ativan the MORE you will need to achieve the same effect.. You will run out long before your next refill is due .. what will you do then?
Suicidal thoughts float through my head on a daily basis... A couple times a month I give it some good thought. But I have a "game plan" of what I need to do and who I need to call if my thoughts turn to planning ... My T said its very common to feel this way. You really need to learn coping skills that can be used anywhere and isn't just a pill to hopefully numb you down. My life is certainly not perfect, my Bipolar can give me problems daily if i don't use my skills for coping and not letting it ruin my day, or make me worry and wonder how my mood will be the following day or week or month. The funniest thing is I don't even realize my coping skills are at work until I think about it... They just appear and get to work.. Just keep moving forward and things do improve.

Having suicidal thoughts and being suicidal are 2 very different things.
I understand if they worry or upset you, but I've come to accept them as part of the package, and really I pay them no mind. Have you tried to counteract them with positive thoughts? When the sui thoughts are disconcerting to me. I think 3 beautiful thoughts for every sui thought that pops up. Pills are a quick fix, you need to retrain your thought pattern away from its default ![]()

I get that each time I am on cliff or bridge or high building. It's just a thought like others at this point. "those shoes are hot". "I wanna jump off this bridge". "If i weren't such prude, i'd do that hottie in a suit". Seriously, I do think like this. And it's okay, thoughts are not me. I am with others. Benzos are downers... not good for sui thoughts... i don't even think they are designed to treat this... they are good for anxiety issues... but eh... intrusive thoughts need to be dealt with differently.

Coping skills aren't easy. Trying. The comedy club should've been a fun thing to distract me but it didn't. Not enough. Not really. That's my point.

My t always says to go out to the movies or something else that makes me happy. Photography makes me happy. But these thoughts don't make sense.

I'm not sure if you would be up to trying an art class. Art and crafts are very therapeutic. I started participating in an art program and it helped me create coping skills.

I know it can feel as if the thought are the end of the world, but it is possible to function while having the thoughts. It's essential to remember that you can choose not to let the thoughts become more. I agree that they are more than "just thoughts." The word "just" is belittling them. They hurt, they interfere, and they are not fair. Once you find adequate treatment I hope they will go away. Remember that you do not have to act on them and there is treatment. I hope you can find something other than anti-anxiety meds. If you are using them other than as prescribed though, you need to talk to your prescriber.

Just saying. Moose. Physical distraction can only do so much, look into that art therapy Cocosurviving mentioned, because like I said, you need to retrain your thought patterns away from its default self- destruct setting. It happens to the best of us, but there are ways around them, that help on an intrinsic level rather than a surface level like meds.

The intrusive thoughts are ugly. They just play. Detailed visions of stabbing myself. My friend things I should go to ER. I told him there's nowhere to sleep there.

I seriously did not mean to belittle anything. Just trying to remember the thoughts as tortuous as they can be can not physically harm you. It's what you do with them that can seriously physically harm you. I do think you should go to the ER if you can't stay safe until pdoc or T open. I'm sorry if I offended.
