I try to distance myself from just the urge and "outzoom". I think: "I must have an stronger urge to stay alive or I wouldn't struggle or still be alive". I think of the moments when I don't feel the urge to die or try to at least acknowledge that those moments exists.

I force myself to take a break from troubling thoughts and musts. Try to do something to distance myself from the pain, because it is pain one is feeling - otherwise you wouldn't feel like taking your life. I distance myself by just doing something I know isn't hurting me or anyone else.

It can be as simple as just laying down watching something easy and funny, or trying to remember things in life I am grateful for and to connect with that feeling. For example: I can look at beatiful picture of nature or look outside at a tree and think about the beauty that is and that I am greatful that it exists around me and that all isn't grey concrete.

I try to think of the times I have felt good, had a warm friendly meeting or laughed with a friend, and that those moments are close - not focusing on the momentary lack of it. I try to remeber the feeling of feeling good and go for that feeling by focusing.

Or I just try to cope through the moment telling myself this feeling will be over knowing it before always eventually have. I tell myself: "In one week or in a couple of days I won't even remeber this exact moment, exactly these thoughts or exactly these feelings I am experiencing right now" - because I know it is true. Everything is constantly changing and by practicing going for good feelings and good thoughts I will be able to more and more have good moments and less bad moments.

I try to keep a relaxed, soft smile. The body sends signals to the brain. It is soothing. Try it.

Sometimes I do a crise situation handling plan: It must always work short-term and long-term. Example: I know I will feel a little better if I eat a can of ice-cream and watch a funny movie (of course I should be present in the moment and focus and let myself enjoy and focusing in the present: feel the good taste of the ice-cream, not just eating it without thinking).

Then I ask if it works long-term and short-term by thinking of good and negative outcome. If the good outcome is much greater then the negative outcome I then choose to crise cope by eating ice cream and watching that movie. Always aware that it is a crise situation coaping strategy, not a new escape behaviour (long-term outcome can be: gaining weight, selfloading, isolation, being to passive etc.).

What I do is try to remind me that the thoughts and feelings are comforters in me trying to hadle present pain. And that the thoughts and feelings are comforters, not solutions, just as abuse of substances, eating disorders, control behaviours etc. and that I have the possibility to get out of this within me learned behaviour.

I put a lot of my time to take my life serious and search for help to understand myself, heal myself, rebuild myself, strengthen myself and do everything I can to feel better. Trying to deeply allow myself feel that I deserve better than feeling bad. Trying to love myself, treat myself as I would treat a good and beloved friend.

Every thought you think about yourself, would you like your friend to think those thoughts about him- or herself? Start being aware of your inner thoughts about yourself. You are perfect being exactly who you are, just as anyone else, and you deserve to feel good being exactly who you are.

For me the search after understanding and the search after what feels right and good keeps my interest for life going. I jump around in my search, and take in what feels right and good. Trying to see life and the world zoomed out without too much judgement and trying to stay open-minded. See the beauty in being able to through my own thoughts create my own perspective on things, think, understand and so on.

I try to think that this life I am experiencing I have the possibility to learn something, I can take what is given and make the best out of it, mold it into something that feels good. See it as a challenge - something that is to help me grow and develop.

I have also realised the importance of trying to have some amount of this in my life on a regularly basis (to increase life lust feeling): fresh air, peace, contact with nature (look at trees, birds, animals, nature sounds), to move the body in some way (getting the body to work, increase the circulation, getting outside oxygen, getting energized and getting some endorphine release).

I handle it like this: First, I have during moments when I am in contact with feelings that I do want to live/not die decided/made an agreement with myself that I will try to do my best not to act upon the urge when it strongly fills me and try to do my best to survive. I use different techniques, whatever works best in the moment: Allow myself to just be, feel like a baby, crowl into the bed, allowing myself to cry, to fall asleep, to rest.

Well, think of it like this, people who want to commit suicide think it's an escape, right? Wrong, suicide just leads to another room,so to say, you are leaving life, but at what cost? With life, you are also leaving friends, family, and all the others you love. It just leads to a whole new room with no doors, cause as you may think it's an exit, it's just a normal door with another trap in it, this time with no escape.

Just take a deep breath and remember the ones you love and love you and the happy times you have had and people that have made you laugh, smile and love. Call a friend or family member, reach out to a stranger, sometimes someone outside the box has better or good advice. Never forget who made you and ALWAYS remember, it WON'T be this bad all the time. Each day is a new one and new things can happen. It doesn't stay shitty all the time.

Well u should think about how your loved ones would feel about your death, u think you would be doing everyone a favor but your not, not by killing yourself, I'm more than sure u are love by your family and friend, And think about is killing your self worth it, in my opinion it isn't the way to go. You only get one shot to live life so live it the right way.
