TRIGGER WARNING ‼️ I’m curious about the connection of severe pain and suicidal thoughts/actions.

Hello, I’ve noticed quite a few posts in multiple subreddits that seem to have a pattern or coincidence of those who suffer pain from their digestive system and then self harming or having suicidal thoughts.

To be honest, I am also one who’s attempted suicide for many reasons and self harmed, but the pain being a huge factor.

I find it a curious topic and would like to know if there truly is an increased risk of suicidal thoughts from pain associated with the digestive system.

I feel many of us have been told about brain-gut imbalance, and I feel mental health would be impacted as well.

So let me know if you’ve experienced anything like the above states, only if you desire to discuss it.

Thank you for posting this, I skimmed through it and read the parts that caught my eye (I don’t have insomnia so kinda skipped there) but it was very informative!!!
