What is suicidal ideation?
Suicidal ideation, or suicidal thoughts, is when you think about, consider or feel preoccupied with the idea of death and su***de. These thoughts may come and go or be extremely distracting. You might dwell on thoughts of su***de to the point where you make a plan to take your own life.
It’s difficult to simply define what suicidal ideation looks like because it’s different for each person. For example, you might fall asleep to the thought of not waking up in the morning. Or you might see a fast-moving vehicle and think about jumping out in front of it. As such, these thoughts can range in severity and intensity.
While having a thought isn’t the same as physically attempting su***de, it can still impact your mental health and lead to suicidal behaviors or self-harm. If you’re thinking about su***de or have suicidal thoughts, it’s important to talk to someone about it. This may help or prevent it from getting worse. You can call or text the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988. However, you don’t need to be in a “crisis” to call the Lifeline. Someone is available to talk to you 24/7. ( via Cleveland Clinic)
