Stop joking about it ironically - if you ever find yourself during an inconvenience going “lol I’ll kms” you gotta stop. Redirect it with something silly but you’ve gotta train your brain to quit jumping to that as the solution to everything

Ooooooh I always thought the former was figure of speech and the latter was what people would call baiting if you did it too often, the problem is that I don’t know how often is too often

Okie dokie! I try but wanting to kill myself is like a well-eroded river path in my brain so I’ll just try my best

idk about baiting, ive had to say the 2nd one to loved ones a couple times in my life and both times i meant it. id argue its more dangerous not to say something if your safety is on the line

YES. This is such good advice. I had to train myself to say stupid shit instead like “I’m going to file a complaint” “I’m going to cause so many problems at the DMV” “I want to hide away in the forest forever” and I genuinely started to think of suicide less. (That and therapy, meds, and leaving my home but it legit helped.)
