As in, wanting to cease living your current life and not have any more responsibilities or problems, and essentially end your session as a living human being, but without actually dying?
passive suicidal ideation. it’s on the lower end of the spectrum of ideation, but still something to talk to someone about if you can.
For anyone in the US who needs it, the Suicide Prevention Hotline can be reached by call or text at 988. You don’t have to be having active suicidal ideation to call them. Passive suicidal ideation is often a warning sign or an attempt at coping when life is too much, and they can get you connected with resources near you.
There are also Warmlines available in most states, which are for when you need someone to talk to, but may have passive suicidal ideation (rather than active), just want to get some things off your chest, or just want to talk to another human being for a while.
Thank you for actually mentioning the existence of warmlines. They are not commonly mentioned for people. There are also specific resources and call lines for an individual depending on their history, such as for those who require ASL or those who are trans.
I saw a comic that covered this. This is just one person’s experience, but maybe it could help you understand your own situation better, and maybe help the people around you help you?
I’m going to print this out and carry it like a pain scale for working the ER when I’m done with medical school or make something like it. Thank you for sharing this.
This is really helpful. I’m currently sitting between 5 and 6 right now and seeing this has helped me realise it. Lucky to have a therapy appointment tomorrow.
I would ask your therapist about considering a PHP (don’t know if this is US-specific). I won’t define it myself because I’m sure your therapist can do better. It’s a big decision but it is worth the time. To be honest, they really should teach the same stuff in school.
