What to do when you feel Suicidal
In the present time cycle there is misery and suffering wherever you look. Despite all the worldly comforts, there is so much unhappiness. As soon as you solve one problem, there is another one waiting for you. This tsunami of problems causes internal suffering. To add to that the demands and expectations in every facet of life may even cause you to contemplate suicide.
Suicide will not end your problems
- Deep down, you know that you cannot run away from your responsibilities and that people are counting on you. You must regain your composure and deal with each of your problems calmly. Ultimately, when the time is right, they will be solved!
- Every situation or person you encounter is an effect of the karma of your past life. Therefore, you have little choice but to endure the suffering in this life and bring an end to the pain. It is better to pay off your karmic debt now. Otherwise, all of these problems will return in a future life, but with a greater intensity.
Since suicide is not something you should pursue, here is what to do when you feel suicidal:
- Don’t conform to societal or peer pressure - Instead, use your energies in what you are good at and be around people who inspire you. This will increase your confidence and help you remain optimistic.
- Stay away from drugs and alcohol – These can increase the intensity of your suicidal thoughts.
- Avoid isolation and loneliness - Withdrawing from those that love you will only make matters worse. Make sure you talk to someone at least once a day.
- Do not keep suicidal thoughts to yourself – Find someone you can trust and let them know how bad things are and what you are going through. Do not allow shame to keep you from sharing how you feel.
- Rest assured that mental health conditions and extreme depression are treatable, so seek professional help.
- Stay positive even when negative circumstances arise. Focus on finding a solution.
- Keep your mind engaged in something at all times. The busier you are, the less chances you will have to fall into negativity.
- Change your routine – Go for a walk in the park. Get some fresh air. This will help you clear your mind.
- Exercise – This will make you feel better mentally and physically.
- Maintain a healthy diet. Being sick will only add to your suffering.
- Remember that you are not alone. There are many others in the same situation and you will get through this.
From now on, make sure that you never engage in thoughts of ending your life.
The impact of positive and negative thinking
The person who remains positive in all circumstances will win in life. Such a person will have good health, will lift the spirits of those around them, and will always be happy. Even when times are tough or challenging, they will focus on the positive things that arise from the situation. For example, if they lose their job, then they will do everything they can to find another one and remain optimistic. Because of their positive attitude, they will be open-minded and they will be able to think clearly in any situation. In the end, positivity will conquer negativity and they will find a job!
In contrast, constantly meditating on bad thoughts will have a negative impact on you. By seeing negatives in others and in situations, you will inevitably struggle in life. Thinking negatively only causes suffering. So much so that you will not be able to enjoy the times when good things happen to you. Remember: We always have the choice of being positive or negative!
