Summary
Suicidal ideation and self-harm urges are not always a clear desire to die. Sometimes they are the mind’s most desperate attempt to escape unbearable emotional pain, make invisible hurt visible, regain control, or force the world to understand that the person is not okay. The thought itself can be terrifying, shameful, intrusive, and unwanted, even when it feels powerful in the moment.
********* This chapter discusses suicidal ideation and self-harm, non-graphically. It does not romanticize them, and it does not treat love as a replacement for crisis support. If you are in immediate danger or feel unable to stay safe, please contact emergency services or a crisis line. In the U.S., the 988 Suicide Crisis Lifeline, it is available 24/7 by call, text, or chat****************
