Because I am very high functioning, how am I supposed to know when things have gone too far and I am reaching crisis point? I have been thinking of suicide since I was about twelve (I'm 25), but more seriously for the last three years. Suicide always crosses my mind at least once a day, increasing every couple of months to completely take over my thoughts and dreams for weeks at a time.
I've got my method worked out, and have actually had everything I need (my suicide kit, if you will) for a year now. I know that Thursday night would be the best time to do it. I just can't work out a location, because I don't want to screw up whoever finds me.
According to the medical profession, these things should make me a huge risk. But I've been living like this for over a year now, never knowing what will tip the scales. So how do I know when I'm in crisis? Seems to me that by most definitions I'm permanently at that point. How do you know when you're reaching crisis and should seek help?
