I believe that many people have had, at some point, suicidal thoughts due to societal pressures. Each person is different in their thoughts, beliefs, and desires. I do not believe in the desire to keep someone alive for the sake of life alone, but rather that it is my job to help someone cultivate a live a life worth living without judgement.
We have worked with suicidal thoughts closely. When a patient is experiencing this, we first focus on safety. After this is established, we work closely on what are the root causes and closely curate a plan to move forward that honors your needs.
Stop the world, I want to get off! Suicidal thoughts are just thoughts. Thoughts come into our head, create emotions, those emotions drive our behavior, and the behavior informs the thoughts....
Let's break that cycle without taking the short way out - permanent solution to temporary problems....
This is real. In the end the only choice you have is to wake up to that first breath in the morning. Can we try to come up with reasons to live?
Your life is precious, and you deserve to receive the care and support you need to overcome this challenge. Together, we'll work towards understanding the underlying causes of your suicidal thoughts and developing a personalized plan to promote your safety and wellness.
