6 Things I Wish Others Understood About Passive Suicidal Thoughts

Sometimes there are people in your life who aren’t quite part of it, but they skirt the periphery enough for their life, or death, to have an impact on yours. This happened to me this morning when I learned someone peripheral to my universe had taken her own life. I am heartbroken for the people [...]

Please Listen to Me Before You Call the Cops About My Suicidal Thoughts

Being alone sucks. Don’t get me wrong, most introverts love to be alone for at least a little while sometimes. But sitting in your living room on a bright sunny day, all alone as you watch groups of people enjoying life together outside of your window is tough. You know you could drag yourself off [...]

Thankful Thursday AND Fun Friday

Sometimes, believing two things can be true at the same time is difficult. But this thought was really encouraging and challenges Black and White thinking.
I hope it's helpful to you today.

Also, tell us three things in the comments 👇 that you're thankful for!

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is PAWidow2024. I'm here because I want a safe place to talk about my suicidal thoughts without there being any danger of being "reported" and thrown into an institutional mental health situation. I've had thoughts about and wishes to exit the planet since I was a young girl (I'm now in my late 60s) but relationships have always kept me from it. Now, after the death of my sweet husband of 32 years, I have no close relationships to keep me here. No children or grandchildren, no close friends. I live in an area where I don't fit it very well (I'm non-religious, left-leaning and childless) so all my efforts to date to find "friends" have not worked out. Also, I'm essentially a loner/introvert so that impacts my friend-making efforts too. I just really think I would benefit, though, from being able to candidly discuss my current thoughts with someone who can understand all these different factors.

Monday Motivation & Tip Tuesday

Sometimes, what's growing around us is what's keeping us from making progress.
Can you look around today and identify a habit, relationship, friendship, media we are consuming, or thought patterns that are hurtful?

Loving Someone With BPD 1w

Self sabotaging behaviour

I’m the one with EUPD amongst other mental and physical heath conditions and I can’t seem to stop self sabotaging my relationship with my wife. I love her unconditionally but she is pre menopausal and I think that how she is feeling after nearly 2 decades of looking after me is catching up with us and I’m worried she’s going to leave me. I have suicidal thoughts and self harm, but I cannot get past these thoughts and I’m feeling so lost.

Tip Tuesday 💡- Simplify Joy

This quote hit me hard! Sometimes we expect every day to be good, but in reality, some days are boring, hard or just frustrating. And that's totally normal!
Our days would be better if we realized the power of the simple things.
Don't over complicate it ...find one simple pleasure today, and that's enough.
