Starting last year, I have had the reoccurring idea of suicide. Everytime I do something wrong, I have a voice in my head saying I want to kill myself. Some days are better than others. I mean, I guess I don’t really want to die. It is just a form of self punishment I have where I get really angry at myself for doing something wrong. I’m just scared that I might crack eventually. I don’t want to. I guess I’m just wondering if I’m worth it, and if you have any advice for how I should handle this rather ugly form of self punishment. Thank you for listening

Hello phoenix: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral!
 I hope you find PC to be of benefit.  You asked how to stop the ugly form of self-punishment you've "adopted", so to speak. I actually have this sort of problem as well. So it's familiar to me.  My own belief is there is no way to make this sort of thing stop. So in my own case, what I do is to employ a practice that is referred to as compassionate abiding. Here's a link to a description of the practice:Relieve Distress By Allowing It: Compassionate Abiding 101 | Mindset: Perspective Is Everything And then here are links to 6 articles, from PsychCentral's archives, on the subject of how to deal with intrusive thoughts: 10 Ways to Stop Thinking You're Not 'Good Enough' How You Can Overcome Intrusive Thoughts | Dialectical Behavior Therapy Understood 9 Ways to Let Go of Stuck Thoughts Becoming Aware of Your Depressive Thoughts https://psychcentral.com/lib/depress...dium=popular17 https://psychcentral.com/lib/replaci...tive-thoughts/ My best wishes to you...

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
