For me, whenever I have traumatic thoughts from my past it makes me want to kill myself on the spot. I just want to blow my brains out and often resort to harmful behavior out of impulse (like cutting) whenever I have traumatic thoughts. Do you guys experience this, and if so, how do you get through it or help prevent it?

Yes. When my PTSD is triggered badly, it puts me into a very depressive, impulsive state. I don't want to cut anymore so I just smoke cigarettes, because it's still self harm but not as obvious. That's pretty much what I do whenever I get those bad urges, is just smoke a ciggie and imagine myself jumping into traffic.

I some times think when in a taxi or car to just open the door and jump, it's weird what your mind does sometimes
But memories of when I was happy young and social push me to ctb the most

I bang my head on my bottle and I bang my head in my wall and I sing about it but nothing makes me forget it all. As for remedies? Distract yourself from your thoughts for ease. Watch tv instead of cutting, suicidal thoughts become nothing. If "normal" people do it then it's ok to do.

I'm happy ganja helps you make it to see another day. For me I anytime I have some weed I get anxiety. Everyone around me can smell it and the cops are going to come and interrogate me to find out I'm suicidal then I'm getting arrested for drugs and suicidal ideation. I was smoking every day for a few years but the first smoke made me want to live.

offtopic but in (most) of where I live cops don't give af about weed, I mean smoking in front of them might be a slap on the wrists and confiscation but thats about it (for personal use)

I miss smoking weed. I haven't had a place to do it, nor the money. But smoking every day was the best year of my life.

Yes, immediately. I'm still figuring out how to stop the severe impulsiveness though

There are certain things I can't let myself focus on because I will immediately self-destruct. I can think them in passing or in very general terms, but any more than that, and it's not good. I'm constantly on guard against that. I guess I maybe slightly dissociate from it.

Yes it's horrible especially when the ptsd kicks in as well. It's bad enough I think about ctb several times a day but add in a trigger to a memory to bring on the ptsd and it takes everything in me not to grab my gun

i know exactly where your coming from. At times when ive got something on my mind from my past or something really hard going on in my head, the desire to, as you say, just put a gun to your head and blow your brains out, is SOOOOO INTENSE. At that moment i feel so consumed with the idea of killing myself. The only way that i can feel i can actually get through it without getting a gun is to do something else to myself. On a couple of occassions i punched a brick wall. Yeh i know...stupid...but it was totally impulsive. Broke several bones in my hand each time but it stopped my thoughts tho, so it worked. I dont reccommend this tho , esp as brick walls dont bounce back.

Yep. All the time. Sometimes, the memories aren't even all that traumatic just bothersome in some way or another. I immediately picture myself shooting myself in the head and that's not even my method.

Whenever I get flashbacks or thoughts about the past, I get the strong urge to kill myself. Sadly, I tend to suppress my thoughts by force and it's become a habit otherwise I'll end up cutting myself or ending my life.

my gender dysphoria brings on flashbacks so it's a double negative, which sadly does not lead to positive. I can sleep for various PTSD reasons, and gender reasons, and the only thing that remotely takes away the SUICIDE NOW is alcohol, so I'm inebriated most of the time (luckily I don't have to work)

I'm so sorry. For me xanax is the thing that keeps away the "suicide now" urge. Its miserable isn't it?

Yep. A few specific things can trigger my reactions that are way out of proportion. Anxiety and panic can take over in seconds. There are train tracks across the street and I always look over there, but I couldn't do that to the poor dude driving a train. Instead I run for cover munching on edibles (legal here in Canada) and try to sleep with netflix reruns until it goes away.

The most simple things can trigger my being overwhelmed. I have even started carrying my method with me which is not good thing as I can be quite impulsive. Just wish I could get to the point where there is no doubt and peace. I feel that is not that far in the very near future.

Hi, I was interested in finding out more about Gender Dysphoria and what it actually means? I certainly do not want to upset you in anyway and if you dont wish to answer my question thats fine i absolutely would understand. I just dont know anything about it and was wanting to understand what it was? I really hope you dont take any offence by my wanting to understand?

No worries, I'm glad to help. Gender dysphoria affects everyone differently so it's hard to give a straight answer to. For me the basics are wanting to remove what shouldn't be there and grow what isn't to put it as bluntly as possible. my mirrors are covered up because the person looking back isn't me and makes me very uncomfortable. but it wasn't until I came to terms with being transgendered that the dysphoria really became a problem. I guess it's like how when people get stabbed they might not notice right away as long as it's a smooth cut.

I have to take Diazepam in high doses daily just to numb me enough to cope. Used to be alcohol, did a year sober realized it wasnt post alcohol use syndrome and i needed something to numb me, in my case the valium is ideal as the alcohol ruined my health so i can't physically drink anymore and it also used to falslely make me delusional and see good in things only to be disappointed. Benzos keep me on an even kiel.

Thankyou for being so bravely honest with me. When you came to terms with being transgender I thought you might have started to feel more like yourself? What is the liklihood that you can get the surgery you need to be who your really are? I think its so sad that you feel like your life isnt worth living, but I couldnt begin to understand what your going through. I know just in talks with friends about being transgender that it must be the hardest thing to deal with, to feel like your not in the right body. My god, that must be so incredibly difficult for you. Are you connected with the trans community? Do you get much in the way of support through the trans community? I can only so what an amazingly brave person you are to even come to terms with being trans, to get that far is a massive feat. What an incredible person you are.
