For any of you dealing with depression or other mood disorders, or really anyone else, how do you properly cope with serious suicidal thoughts? I've had a very rocky time mentally for a while now and some days just are really, really low. I have suicidal thoughts most days and they really start to become the strongest points of thought in my mind. I unfortunately have totally lost the emotional idea that it will hurt those who are close to me here, the main thing holding me back is the belief that suicide is punishable in some afterlife. What are some good reminders to try and keep in mind when feeling this way? Maybe what is a good activity to force yourself to do? My attention span has been severely damaged in recent years so please something easy, not reading which is very difficult.
Also, I have become increasingly socially withdrawn in the past year and currently have no irl friends besides my immediate family (whom I am grateful for, when more sober). Is social withdrawal and reclusiveness acceptable ever (time for yourself) or should it be something to avoid, something to overpower? I know there are many questions here but even just one being answered would be more than I could ask for. Thanks.
