As for me:
Due to Christmas rapidly approaching my place earns increasing amounts of money.
It would be so easy to just snag a whole day of store income and forever vanish into another country.

    Trigger Warning: Attempts of ending my own life

    spoiler

    Going to the nearest bridge and just jump off.

    And um…

    when I was a kid…

    So I saw a knife in my kitchen when I was a kid (like maybe 12 or 13), I just thought “what if I sliced my throat” I held the knife like maybe 5 inches from my throat, then survival instincts kicked in and I put it back, then I got scared of dying for a while. Never told anyone. I wasn’t even diagnosed with depression back then, so probably not even being suicidal, just a weird thought that popped in my head.

    My parents was being shitty at the time, so idk if that was really suicial thoughts or intrusive thoughts.

      It’s called “L’appel du vide” or “call of the void” and quite normal.

      It’s an old instinct to think through the consequences of dangerous things instead of actually doing them.

      I don’t think those are intrusive thoughts, at least that’s not what mine are like.
