Topic: Suicidal Thoughts – Alcoholism – Depression – My Battle With Mental Illness And Suicide
Notes:
- It can be a passing thought and no emotional weight
- You ARE NOT alone – 10th leading cause in the US is suicide
- If you are dealing with these type of thoughts, you need to reach out (Suicide Prevention Line – 1 800 273 8255)
- Alcohol mimics mental illness
- People care about you regardless of who you are – if something like this happens it will affect them deeply
- We look at things in term of society – example is that we have social media and that can have a long-term effect on people
- The problem isn’t so much the solutions that we have, it’s the life philosophy we have
- We tend to look at this and omit the middle part
- Everything would be good if I had X, Y, Z
- We skip what happens in between
- In between is life – life philosophy – where life happens is there the true joy is
- There’s always a new chapter and you get to decide what to do
- Fear that drives these thoughts – What if this pain never goes away?
- Chronic dissatisfaction is created in my mind
- If you look for something, you most likely won’t find it… It’s the pursuit of happiness
- Emotions are called emotions (look at motion) Motions trigger it
- Meaning – what do you believe about life?
- Alcohol creates artificial mental illness
- When drinking, those are not your thoughts, those are alcohols thoughts
- You can become very obsessive
- YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR
- Always remember… you are not alone
- We are chemical beings – chemicals change minute to minute and they affect your emotions
- There are certain things in life that put you in a thought loop
- Situational thoughts
- Sometimes the biggest win is making it through the day
- Where is the hope?
- We are sometimes looking for hope in the wrong places, it comes from you internally
