I'm surrounded by highspeed trains, and gun shops, and bars, and hardware stores, all within walking distance. Everywhere I look I see invitations, ideas, and suggestions. Interspersed along the way are lovely bars to build confidence. Remember that song Bali Ha'i?
Bali Ha'i may call you,
Any night, any day,
In your heart, you'll hear it call you:
"Come away...Come away."Bali Ha'i will whisper
In the wind of the sea:
"Here am I, your special island!
Come to me, come to me!"
I f'ing need to move.

Thank you both. I'm tired and I'm having a pity party. Seems like when other people have a bad day, they can just talk about it, or get drunk, or even punch a hole in the wall. But, not me. Instead, I spend the night or days in ideation-land. I am sick of it. It's exhausting. I know all the "right" things to do. I do them when I have the energy. It's just tiring sometimes.
I'm safe. Just tired.
Thanks for caring. Abbie.

Maybe a nap is in order? And I don't mean a fall asleep for several hours kind of nap, I mean a sink into a luxuriously soft bed under a warm comforter on a cool day, feeling ensconced in warmth and comfort, and feeling rested when you wake up kind of nap. I could use one too...

Napping sounds nice, but it doesn't stop suicidal ideation. Sure wish it worked that way. When it gets bad, it lasts for ages, with intrusive thoughts/images. It really sucks.
I'm not going to DO anything. It's completely irrational, and irks me. It becomes almost obsessive...and then it just goes away.
I guess I shall just be thankful that it goes away.

I'm sorry you feel that way any meds help with the feelings? Know they are not the answer to everything. Phillipa

There are times when they are everywhere, aren't they? Means and methods and temptations and objects of obsession.
I'm glad you recognize it will pass, and I'm glad it will pass. But in the meantime, could your mind be trying to send you a message (apart from the more obvious)?
Recent stress, or time for a medication change, maybe? I find Risperdal does wonders for that, those times I can't shake it myself.
It s*cks. I hope they pass from their sojourn in your brain soon.

I hear you. Sorry if it sounded like I was suggesting that a simple nap would take care of things. I think I was trying to wish you some peace. Metaphorically, that is.
