> Long story short, my brain has this short circuit that gets tripped every time I get too stressed, and the almost instant result is that suicide jumps into my mind.It's like it's always lurking there in the background, just waiting for its chance to spring out and overtake you, isn't it? Like it just lives to see you die. My brain trips like that too, and I have to actually talk it down - out loud - which doesn't always work well, and of course I can only do when alone lest I really scare those around me. Which brings me to another issue...
> Like everybody else, when I'm depressed, I have a hard time thinking of anything else. Hibernation (i.e. withdrawal) sounds like a great idea.
Do not, do NOT do this. I am a very isolated person, and trust me, likelife, it makes it all worse. Much worse. Please keep up any social contacts you have, as long as you know they're not making you worse. Suicidal feelings just love aloneness - it's like a freakin' pint of Ben & Jerry's to them. Please take gentle care of yourself.
