Why do People like me have suicidal thoughts, Drs/Cmht don't care because it's happens so much I don't blame them but I really want to know why they keep returning now and how to stop them.
I spent all morning thinking of ways, now I'm calmer but it really does scare me as I want them to go away but they aren't staying away.
I've not self harmed in over a week that normally stops them but I'm trying to stop it all but it's not getting easier.
Sorry droned on there but really can they be stopped if so how do I do it I don't want to die I really don't but I can't stop thinking about it every few days.

In CBT, they would call these unwanted, intrusive thoughts. They say they become a habit, and as a habit are actually ... believe it or not, comforting. I know that sounds really weird, but the intrusive thoughts and self-hurting may have become your way of coping with stress/anxiety/depression.

What they say is - you have to 1. recognize that, 2. work with a therapist to come up with an alternative path - something >>else
