Is it normal to wanting to commit suicide after breakup?

67% Normal
9 Comments

My bf broke up with me three weeks ago. We've been together for almost 2 years and after we separated, I could only feel a urge to die.
Our separation felt like a part of me died. I changed myself for him, tried to do everything correctly and be the kindest person in his life, but it wasn't enough.
I feel like I wasted my time, patience and that my mental health only degraded with his departure.

I only wish to be dead now. It's a feeling I can't get rid, no matter the amount of distractions I get myself into. Exercising and doing my hobbies leaves me frustrated. I'm close to lose my job bc of my low performance these days, and all bc I can't get rid of him and the angst of my head.

I just wanna end this feeling. I feel betrayed, backstabbed, and overall, a fucking piece of shit. I just wanna end life because I know this feeling won't go away and it will stay with me because I'm weak. I'm too weak to overcome a breakup, and my life is going to ruins if I don't stop this nonsense soon.

    As others have said, getting some help would be a good idea. It might sound stupid but writing all of your feelings and thoughts into a letter then burning/shredding it helps me.

    Pick up the phone, and call someone like a dear friend, or a suicide hotline.

      You give shitty advice 70% of the time. Doping up doesn't fix the issue with mind set. It probably just gives a dependence of meds.

      It's like spraying the fruiting body of a mushroom with chemicals. On the outside, the problem is mitigated.

      But since the mycelium hasn't been destroyed, the mushrooms will again manifest on the surface, requiring more treatment.

      Get to the root of the problem. Is this metaphor entirely botanically correct? Idk.

          "Fuck you" has become so trite on the internet that it barely means anything.

    No, it's not normal and you need to get rid of these thoughts immediately. It's hard to do, I know.

    You have to think about the people you leave behind. Even if they don't act as though they care about you, they do.

    About 4 years ago, my younger brother shot himself while we were talking on the phone together. I still have nightmares.

    Please don't do this to yourself, and please don't do this to your family and friends. Go see a psychiatrist now and don't let it go to the point where you might actually do something. Please.

    There are many people who can help you, for free. Please go to them.

    If you need some help, feel free to pm me.
