A Broken Life

I’m waking up to dreams of committing suicide, what can I do to get rid of these dreams?

I have been having repeated dreams of committing suicide. The dreams don’t actually involve the final event of pulling the trigger, but they do involve holding a gun to my head.

I’m waking up to these dreams and they are interfering with my ability to get a good nights rest.
I have a therapist and a psychiatrist. I also am on anti-depressants already.

In the evening, do not allow yourself to watch or read about anything violent or depressing. Watch some funny movies, or read a funny or pleasant story. It sounds corny, but I love to read Reminisce magazine and learn about the lives that my parents and grandparents lived. It’s lighthearted reading that doesn’t evoke any negative thought patterns. Also, don’t eat anything after 8 in the evening.

Now, tell yourself over and over "I would never do something stupid like kill myself". Do this for several days. Say it with conviction.

Before you go to bed, thank God for all of your blessings. He really wants to know that we appreciate what He has done for us. Don’t let your mind drift to things that you feel He hasn’t done for you – just thank Him for the good stuff. Do you have a roof over your head? – thank Him. Do you have food to eat? – thank Him.

Take care my friend.

    Check your diet before you eat. If it comes down to it maybe you should seek some counseling.

    wow, i am sorry.

    Answer this question to yourself:
    Have you ever thought about sucide?
    if you answered yes I would go talk to someone

    Also could be what you do before bed, if you watch tv and someone dies or commits sucide then you are more likley to think it also if you think about it.
    Good Luck and try talking to someone

    It could be that you are thinking about it too much or it could be that your medication is giving you nightmares, talk to your psychiatrist about the dream and ask him if he thinks it could be the medication.

    To dream that you commit suicide, suggests that conditions in your life are so frustrating that you no longer want to deal with the situation or relationship You may be harboring feelings of guilt that you cannot get over and thus turning the aggression on yourself. You need to start approaching problems from a different angle. Alternatively, it may suggest that you are saying good-bye to one aspect of yourself and hello to a whole new you. It is symbolic of a personal transformation or a new stage in your life.

    To see someone commit suicide in you dream, highlights your concerns for that person. Also consider what characteristics and qualities in that person you may be trying to "kill" and annihilate in your own self. Perhaps you hope that you are not like that person in some way and are making attempts to get rid of those traits within your own self.

    I hope it helped :]

    Learn lucid dreaming, its actually quite a thrilling experience once you mastered it. Essentially its knowing that your dreaming whilst in said dream, once you pass this acknowledgment you can control the plot of the dream and change it for the better.
