What could be done to prevent suicidal thoughts?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Thank you for taking help from a psychiatrist; you may have a borderline personality disorder. It is a type of personality or nature where a person may have a chronic feeling of emptiness, emotional outbursts, and overwhelming or self-harming behavior. In such cases, the person might feel that no one understands them in this world. You may also have difficulty keeping a relationship for a long time, frequent job-related issues, or anger outbursts. However, this condition can be managed predominantly by non-pharmacological means, without requiring any medication until necessary. Here are some of the instructions below for you to follow:

1. You should exercise 30 to 45 minutes daily, like at least going for a walk.

2. You should do meditation for 20 minutes daily. Just sit in one comfortable position and try to concentrate on your normal breathing. Do not stop or force yourself to stop your thoughts. Just let it be.

3. You should eat healthy home-cooked foods and avoid junk food.

4. You should spend time doing creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills, languages, or musical instruments.

5. You should get enough sleep, at least seven to eight hours, daily.

6. You must avoid tobacco, alcohol, or any other substance abuse.

Live your life; do not just spend it. Be bold and confident. Do not be afraid of anyone. You must talk about being bullied at school to your parents and teacher. I recommend starting a capsule of Fluoxetine (antidepressant) 20 mg daily in the morning after breakfast.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you want some help later.

Thank you.
