Help How do you guys deal with suicidal thoughts?

[Iamatiredlad]

Any recovery bros here got any advice on dealing with suicidal thoughts/spiraling? I had a really bad episode a few days earlier and I almost spiraled today. It's like if I ever feel hurt or rejected, even slightly, I can spiral really bad unless I manage to catch myself. Even then, the thoughts of just killing myself still linger. I am curious on what everyone personally does for themselves in their recovery efforts.

substances tbh. Being sober and dealing with it is literal hell.

When they are more mild maybe just listening to music helps but when they are intense and I have a sort of episode I have to be self destructive to ease the urges and I just ride it out until I basically tire myself.

Scream. Like seriously if you can go outside or something and just scream like it's your last hour on earth. Cathartic and embarrassing so it's a good distraction for a bit.

I'm not suicidal anymore but when I was, the ideation actually brought me a lot of relief. They still come to me suddenly and intrusively sometimes, but I dont think its anything to be ashamed of
