I have felt this way. I didn't understand it and it scared me a bit. I did tell my pdoc. She didn't freak out. We just talked. It was ok...it went away. She thought it was a mixed episode kinda thing.
Stay strong. |

Challenge the desire...
When you find 1 reason its a great idea to off yourself, counter it with 3 reasons why its a terrible idea. Not fullproof, but certainly helps to take away from the desire and thus hopefully decreases the intensity. Also, its a positive distraction, which never hurt anyone.

I'm not going to tell you what to do. You know what you need. I had the same problem once. My T explained to me that when you have been suicidal off and on as long as I had been, sometimes suicidal thoughts are part of a comfort zone you've established for yourself. It's just a go too place. Maybe that's what's happening to you. I don't know, just a thought.

You need to be around people right now. Most suicides don't occur when people are deeply depressed but when they are thinking a little more clearly and can plan or complete/attempt it... so you are most vulnerable. Please make contact with your doctor, or go some place you aren't alone?

U can be more at risk of committing suicide in a mixed episode. So be careful.

Theatrekid, just think of something in life that you enjoy... anything. It must be better than death. Death is just so frickin...permanent. I'd rather enjoy the ride, no matter how rocky it is.
 Besides, if you wait long enough, you'll be manic again and think everything is AWESOME!

Most suicides occur due to severe depression. But people with Bipolar can be more likely to act on suicidal feeling when in mixed state. But Its not always a planned thing. It can happen impulsively, just in the moment without thought, cos of overwhelming unbearable strong feelings. In my case I have been aware of suicidal thoughts/feelings arising suddenly, without planning and I have felt in conflict, part of me feeling like going along with it eg falling off high wall,falling down the stairs, jumping out of window etc. But part of me feels protected from doing something
