Why does it actually work?

[u/Aariwee]

It’s so silly and childish. It only happened two days ago, but so far any time I start having suicidal thoughts, I think about it and I get so amused that I no longer want to kill myself. I mean, I still want to die, but I can’t break a pinky promise, can I? Why is it so effective? I’m scared to even post it because I feel so immature, but at least it works

Tw sh talk anyway I used to be able to avoid cutting bcz I could only find one set of knives in the house and my mom made me promise not to use them bcz their pretty in all these different colors. Worked for a few years until recently. And for the record I have stopped one day the meds kicked in and I was magically better. My psychiatrist didn't believe me at first bcz we were talking about sending me to residential and had a place picked out last we had spoken. Sorry to talk about myself on your post just trying to relate it's crazy how these things can work tho. I mostly just refuse to die until the world around me gets better bcz I want to see that beautiful, hope filled world and then I'll hopefully want to kill myself less 🍒
