Suggest Remedy To Control Suicidal Thoughts

I have been feeling really down lately and I just can't seem to pick myself up. I feel like the best thing I could do for all around me is to end my life. I have been suffering from complex PTSD for many many years and just can't seem to get a hold of it. What can I do to stop feeling this way?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I can understand. You are of the opinion that you have been suffering from complex PTSD for many many years and just can't seem to get a hold of it. How can you be sure about PTSD? Have you been diagnosed by any psychologist / psychiatrist? In that case, they must have told you to get proper treatment. If there is no expert diagnosis, you should not assume you have PTSD.

Post traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health problem that can occur after a traumatic event like war, assault, or disaster. May i know what was the traumatic incident you went through?

Suicidal thoughts could be due to simple disappointment, negative thoughts and obsession. I think you are obsessing with "I have PTSD, and it is really fatal". Please consult a psychologist for counseling.

Good luck.
