I haven't had suicidal thoughts in almost six years but you gotta watch a comedy movie to get your mind off of it, convince yourself that your life is worthwhile, and realize that your problems are nothing that can't be overcome.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
Currently undergoing an assessment period to be green-lit for therapy.

eh not for a year and a bit now

they kinda just faded away after I'd been on ADMs for a while and been to see a shrink

When they were still pressing in my head though, I just played battlefield to take my mind off it.

All I can really recommend is seeing a professional about it, if they are persisting for a month or so then speak to your doctor and see what they suggest. Which would likely boil down to either a referral to a counsellor/psych or ADMs, if you can I'd go with the first of those two options, it's better in the long run.

Antidepressants are only for if you have clinical depression, though. And therapists are overrated IMO, only so much stuff can be helped by talking about it.

Correct, if it's not clinical depression then it would be using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut.

As for therapists, it really depends on the type of therapist in question.
The sort where you lie on a couch and blather about your early years and how your daddy never hugged you -> for rich idiots who have to buy a friend.
Spoiler
Excessively cynical, maybe, but when I read about these psychodynamic motherfuckers who have a patient once a week for 4 years (200 x $50 = :DDD) with no improvement I get platinum mad.

However that isn't every kind of therapist, just unfortunately the most well known kind. The one that I'd generally recommend above most others is a Cognitive-behavioural therapist, because they work to a pretty tight focus of teaching you how to deal with the shit life throws.

That being said, if you feel it's more of a rough patch and you just need to find a way to get through it then yeah it might not be worth your time and money to go and see a shrink right off the bat.

If the thoughts get more frequent and severe though, or they don't go away after a couple of weeks then that would point more towards depression than a rough patch. If that becomes the case, I would strongly suggest you do at least speak to a GP about it.

Daily.  I just kind of accepted them.  I try to change the perspective if they get too saddening.

hey
I think my anti depressants and my attempts to focus on other things in my life instead have been helping me with this a ton

I think I'm in a much better place than I used to be

I did when I was in high school and since my parents refused to get me professional help I started smoking pot. It actually really helped, but I also did a lot of research on tricks on how to change your outlook on life.

but depression is an actual condition

thinking seriously about suicide doesn't necessitate that

what a worthless platitude
?

I would say most young peoples' problems are nothing that can't be fixed by bringing about some sort of change. If you're not willing to do that, then the thoughts will probably keep coming back.

You can argue that point either way really

Suicidal ideation is a strong part of the diagnostic criteria for depression, but you can be depressed without wanting to kill yourself and want to kill yourself without being depressed.

As a rule of thumb though, most cases of suicidal ideation will link to depression in some form.

But if you don't mind sharing, either on here or via PM, is there a particular reason for these thoughts?
Obviously you don't have to answer if you don't want to and you can just ignore this part if that's the case.

I don't think I've ever seriously considered killing myself before.

I mean I've experienced some shitty times very rarely where I say to myself, "Y'know, sort of wish I wasn't alive for this," but the feelings pass quickly enough for me to get back to my normal, sane mentality. Emotional blockage is really the only thing that could ever make me entertain the thought of taking my own life.
