this semi-related copypasta... >when you find yourself contemplating suicide, that's called 'suicidal ideation'. Why it happens no one quite knows. But it seems to happen to people caught in a Catch-22. A damned if you do damned if you don't scenario. If you understand that thoughts of suicide are really just an error, like a computer error, when your brain is confronted with too many paradoxes, the mind makes a mistake and logically concludes that if you killed yourself all your problems would magically be solved, which isn't really true.
If you think about suicidal thoughts like this, like a computer error made by your brain when it's trapped in a paradox, then it's much less frightening. You realize these thoughts are not compulsory. You don't have to listen to them or give them any weight. They can be ignored. You can say to yourself "there it goes again, suicidal ideation" then you can more easily ignore it and surf more 4chan.
Of course you may still want to seek help, but this is a trick that you can easily do to cope with suicidal thoughts. The first time you consider the possibility of killing yourself can be horrifically frightening. But once you realize it's just a false conclusion reached by your mind, it isn't so scary. You can even get a black sense of humor out of it by laughing it off.
maybe it's just a runtime error and you can relax?
