Course overview
Lesson Overview
1.8 – What Suicidal Ideation Feels Like: Suicidal ideation isn’t just a passing thought; it can feel like being caught in a storm of hopelessness and fear. The mind becomes trapped, replaying painful memories and convincing itself there’s no way out. Time can feel slower, heavier, and filled with exhaustion. People often feel disconnected from those they love, even if they’re surrounded by them. It’s not that they don’t care—it’s that pain has numbed their ability to feel connection. Every day can feel like a battle to hold on. Understanding what this feels like helps others approach with patience and empathy. When someone is listened to without judgment, they begin to believe their story still matters. The fog can lift when light—through love or help—finds its way in. Healing begins with being heard.
