Why am I having these thoughts?

whats wrong with me? When i am alone i have thoughts of suicide, hurting others, death, and other horrible thoughts. When im around my family and friends though i don’t think about it, and when i read my bible and when i just close my eyes and try to relax. It only seems like when im alone or feeling sick i get these thoughts, i feel like im going crazy or something im really scared. Ive talked to my mom about it and she doesn’t seem to know, she thinks im just really depressed because alot has gone on this year or theyre might be something wrong chemically. Any opinions?

Answer #1

If you went through some trauma recently, it’s normal…however, if you’re concerned about it, I’d strongly recommend talking to some friends and family about it.

Alternatively, if you’re having trouble functioning at school or work, you might want to consider talking to a therapist. It’s normal to get depressed (I do when I watch the news…) but it’s not normal to feel bad all the time.

Answer #2

This has happened to me … even more severely than what you described. I was literally in tears whenever I was alone. But when I was with others I put on a happy face, and soon found I was in fact feeling better.

With therapy and time it got better. I recommend anti-depressants, too.

Answer #3

it could be a hormonal imbalance. no im not saying you’re a terrible person no one can get along with, and that you’re not enjoyable to be around. Honestly, hormones can really bring down your health and your mood. me, and my mother, had always gotten pretty suicidal around that time of the month (and hormonal surges). She went to the doctor (did the same for me when it was MY turn to be pubescent) and they reigned in the hormones big time. Now, this can happen to everyone, of every gender, at any age. I highly suggest talking with a therapist and your doctor about this theory, and your thoughts as well. and remember, bad things are too weak to stay around forever. everything will always get better!!

Answer #4

well theres multiple ways to look at the situation, the ur brain might not be able to deal with the negative mental stimuli, or u could have problems with a chemical imbalance, but if ur looking to try and solve it talk to a psychologist (not a psychiatrist–try to avoid pills, alot of times they do more harm to the body than good), or since ur religious talk to a priest, maybe u can find salvation that way
