I'm really into this guy who doesn't want anything other than "a bit of fun" and it is making me sad because I keep thinking about him. He talks to loads of other girls too. Do you have any advice? I'm really upset about it. Sorry to bother you, you just seem really kind
My best advice is you don’t need him! If he’s making you upset and sad you don’t need him! If he’s not interested in being more you don’t!!! Need him!!!
The problem with suicidal thoughts is that they’re not just there when your sad. You’ll be there, chillin, reading a book or talking to a friend and you’ll think ‘This is nice. But do you know what would be better? Death.’
@lumos-vs-nox This is referred to as “mild suicidal ideation“ or the desire for suicide without substantial action behind it. It often happens when someone deals with prolonged mental health issues and suicidality at a young age. When you’re young, we go through a period where our neural pathways completely rearrange- the things that happen to us at that time will influence these changes. In a way, suicidal ideation becomes an ingrained coping mechanism. A sort of “well at least suicide is always there for me”. Your brain is part-muscle, it remembers things, it learns, it’s super great at adapting, this is just a reflex. It doesn’t mean you are weak, it doesn’t mean you aren’t in recovery.
