Starting a new anti-suicide general as the original has been bump-locked.

Helping wizards to understand that persuasive feelings of suicide can be bested.

Further the discursive spirit of this thread will remain the same as the first: to counter the general luring tenor of sadness that defines all the other threads through sharing positive practical advice purposed to reducing suicidal behavior even when we feel most suicidal. Naturally, being that I started the topic, I will be the first to contribute.

(1) Know that I care about you guys deeply and sincerely. Call me a faggot, I don't care (many have already done this, to no worthwhile avail)
(2) Examine what you are eating. For example, gluten especially produces depressive/psychotic episodes in sensitive autistic individuals. Sugar also is not healthy for your brain. Delimiting ingestion of both is wise.
(3) Make sure you are getting sufficient sleep. Chronic sleeplessness or even a few days' worth of irregular sleep can seriously interfere with the clarity of our thinking.
(4) Clean up. Taking a warm shower and putting on fresh clean clothes always is refreshing and helps to break up darkened mental habits.
(5) Breathe fresh air. Open whichever windows punctuate your room and allow some wind to come in.
(6) Watch your breathing. When we are panicked, our breathing can become very disordered and we do not recognize the effect this has on our thinking. Take deep, purposeful breaths, and collect your thoughts.
(7) Respect yourself. You have done your best to survive in an awful world, and you should grant yourself forgiveness for any mistakes and the allowance to rest with a composed and balanced mind.

I've done my part. Anyone else?

The only reason for me to feel suicidal these days is then necessity to work, after I've successfully spent the last decade trying to come to terms with existence. I'm feeling peace right now in vacation. But having to go back to work is the only dread I still have. It reminds me that existence is forced and ugly. I even like being around people these days, just having to actively interact with them like at work is terrible.

Can you imagine death without suicide? It is horrifying.

You will either be wrecked physically, or suffer a heart attack, or tormented by some terminally illness.

point 3.5


make sure your room isn't too hot
and your sleeping clothes aren't too hot also

(letting fresh wind helps)

I used to wear ridiculous pajamas made out of wool + a blanket, and my sleep was awful.

At some point, I gave up and tried sleeping without it. Sleep quality = improved.


regards, not OP

Good thread.

 No.302107

I think diet is probably the most important one. I feel worse in the moment of eating bad food yet somehow usually don't even grasp the negative summed effects so much ingested packaged garbage has had on my body and mind until days after having switched back to a healthier eating style.

appreciate the thread, would be greatly improved with some resources/links to go along with it. Maybe helpful book recommendations. I read Atomic Habits and it helped a bit.
