Suicide Dreams

Hi, all,

I have been diagnosed with Schizoaffective (depressive type) for 3 or 4 years now, and I've had a bit of a problem recently. I keep dreaming that I am committing suicide with things found in my apartment. This morning, I woke up while trying to hang myself. I'm not happy, but I don't particularly have the desire to kill myself right this minute, although I have tried a few times in the past. I'm going through a divorce (partially due to my diagnosis, so I'm living alone), and I really don't know what to do. Has anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions?

This sounds very serious. If you're in danger of harming yourself and particularly if not in a state to realize you are harming yourself you should consider checking yourself into a hospital until you get it under control.

I agree with what Neil said. Please take this seriously and stay safe.
