Hi. I really would like some tips on how to stop negative thinking. I've been having these thoughts for a very long time, 25 years or more. I don't act on them but it disturbs me greatly. I tried to talk to my husband about it and he threatened to have me hospitalized. I have tried antidepressants but they gave me such brain fog and forgetfulness, I started taking my meds twice a day because I couldn't remember taking them. I was scared I would OD on them so I asked to be weaned off. I just keep ally tumultuous feelings and thoughts bottled up but I think I'm going to explode or lash out at any moment. I think I just need to let it out and get some type of emotional tool to help me cope. Any suggestions?

Hi Janco, sorry these thoughts are haunting you. It's hard when you can't share them. Have you looked into Mindfulness techniques? They have some strategies for letting go of unhelpful thoughts, such as imagining leaves floating down a stream and mentally writing your thoughts on them and watching them float away. I'm not too good at it but some people have found great help from it. It's not easy to do and needs practice, maybe going to a class if there's one near you. One friend of mine finds Mindfulness really helps her cope with intrusive thoughts and strong emotions, she wouldn't be without it.

not sure if "negative" suicide thinking is a good thing or a bad thing.
Nit-picky I suppose, but a positive suicidal thought does not sound "better".

I know how you feel. I have been through this same thing. I would have suicidal thoughts and then argue with myself telling myself all the reasons I need to stay around and live. Distractions help for me but I think that is what mindfulness is. Best of wishes.

Have you tried a journal? That's helped me in the past. I'm sorry you have to go through this alone.
