Hello

Which type of suicidal person are you?

The types below are not exclusive, and a patient can present a combination of characteristics, which is my case except for option 5. I have: Irritability / Anhedonia / Hopelessness / Guilt and worthlessness / Long-term planning / Emotionally numb / Obsessive thoughts

1 - Aggressive: expresses their suicidal ideation impulsively and angrily (Impulsivity / Irritability / Self-mutilation / Troubled relationships with others).

2 - Melancholic: introspective and silent about their feelings. Melancholy is associated with deep sadness and extreme despondency (Anhedonia / Hopelessness / Guilt and worthlessness / Long-term planning).

3 - Dissociative or apathetic: they don't show many emotions. They seem disconnected from the world around them and from their own emotions.(Depersonalization / Emotional dissociation / Feeling of emptiness)

4 - Anxious: Suicidal ideation in this profile is often related to extreme anxiety and constant fear.(Obsessive thoughts / Panic attacks / Feeling "trapped")

5 - Manipulative or ambivalent: Although rarer, some patients may use suicidal ideation as a form of emotional manipulation, usually to get attention or support from family members or partners.(Repeated threats / Ambivalence)

Mostly melancholic for sure, a little bit of dissociative or apathetic.

Using those descriptions, I'm a mix between Melancholic, Dissociative/Apathetic, and Anxious... specifically a deep sadness, a disconnection from the world around me (but still in touch with my emotions), and a persistent extreme anxiety that dominates every waking moment of my life...

I definitely have a combinations of several of the characteristics described, depending on my current mood. Most of the time I am probably mostly dissociative (especially when on meds) with drops of melancholic. In some periods, I am very melancholic especially with regards to guilt, worthlessness hopelessness. If I am having a mini crisis about some stupid problem I begin to become impulsive, self harming, extremely hateful towards myself and detached from others.

I honestly find this kind of silly; not going to lie, about as silly as the Myers-Briggs test and Astrology.

I'm a mix of 4, 2, 3. In that order. Anxious that my situation will continue to get worse, melancholic over the loss of my old life, and I tend to disassociate as a way of coping with it all.

I'll have one number 2, a number 3 large, a number 4 while feeling extra trapped, ….

I feel really weird right now.

Isn't there also a happy, confident and exited suicidal type?

I'm 2 (Long-term planning, Anhedonia, hopelessness) and 3 (Depersonalization, Emotional dissociation, Feeling of emptiness). Maybe a 40%-60% split between those, I spend most of my time very dissociative

I resonate with the melancholic suicidal type, but will hopefully recover from these unbearable symptoms

I want attention, alright? Also, handholding and sex. Not with my mom or a goat though, those wouldn't count.

I do feel fake in everything I do, so YMMV.

All of them basically, whether in different states of suicidality or different times in my life.

5 is probably the least, but in my early suicidality I did everything I could to end the pain even if it meant scaring others into getting my way. It actually worked more than once, but I've grown into someone who experiences immense guilt and also has recognized that those methods are temporary solutions.
