Anxiety leading to suicidal thoughts?

Question:

i've always had anxiety problems but for the past 6 months or so the anxiety has given away to suicidal urges. i haven't attempted (obviously) because i'm afraid of having my boyfriend find me half dead. all i've ever wanted is access to a gun. now my boyfriend wants to buy one! i tried to tell him but he thinks i'm just making it up so he won't get one. i won't slit my wrists because of the time it takes to bleed out, no jumping off buildings because i could just ruin my body, not overdosing on pills because i've known people who have tried. someone tell me how to get him not to buy a gun.

Answers:
There is something called an anxiety based depression. I have it and yes it does lead to suicidal thoughts if not treated. Get yourself to a doctor and get help. You will be surprised how an antidepressant just makes you feel calm and normal. If you are to the point of suicidal thoughts then probably all thoughts are negative. Think how nice it will be to just enjoy life and enjoy being yourself and liking yourself again. Depression gives you a false perspective of yourself and your surroundings. Little things seem unsurmountable, and everything seems like hard work. Hope you reach out and will be OK

do not.

Treat your anxiety and the depression or you WILL feel like doing all of those things anyway. Not having a gun in the house will not matter.

His buying a gun is not the problem. Your suicidal urges are the problem.

I have been there. I understand very well what you're going through.

Counseling helped me the most, and when things got very bad, hospitalization was the only thing that saved me.

Please seek counseling from a licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or minister. If you have to, call your local suicide help-line.

What's got you feeling so bad about yourself that life is not worth living? How is your self-esteem? Sounds like this is a cry for attention and a chronic need for some psychological help! I suggest you have your boyfriend find you some help ASAP. If you would like to see how to improve your self-esteem click below.
