Ideation - trigger warning

So I haven't felt that I'm in any immediate danger, but while I've been surfing the web this afternoon I realized I was working out in my head what to write in a suicide note, something short and non descriptive.

I guess that is firmly in the realm of "suicidal ideation"

I've thought about what I'd write to each of my kids and/or other family members. I thought it would be a good idea to make a public announcement (didn't plan how) about my primary abuser to the effect that he's not the sweet upright person he wants others to think he is. I have never come anywhere close to doing these things. There are times I think about it a lot, but never feel moved to do them. Just "if" that day comes...

Just about everyone has thought about suicide, many have given it much much more than just a general thought. We do get through it.

I find the topic of suicide to be like that of sex education . . . just because you learn (or think) about it doesn't mean you're going to rush out and do it. Researching suicide online actually makes so many people decide, "Yep, my pain sucks but that's not for me!" That's my take on it, at least.

Dexter, you have a community of support here. Of course if you find that that is not enough then you owe it to yourself to reach out to those who are trained in treating depression and suicide prevention. Let your light continue to shine.

hi dexter,
I been down that road before thinking about suicide too. but I learned from my therapist that those suicidal ideation thoughts are something you don't take lightly or to joke about it . whenever a thought like that hits me in my mind I call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline to help me out in a crisis situation and I also keep this thought in my mind Suicide is wrong according to God's plans . I had a classmate who committed suicide twice and she successfully did it on the second attempt in my senior year in high school .
