life help: how long can one withstand emotional attacks without breaking down and giving in to irrational thoughts of ending ones life? - Help.com

One can withstand it completely. Your whole conscious mind can be saying “I guess I’ll go kill myself now” and you can choose not to act on it. In actual practice it’s better to have crude spiritual techniques, like from religions or psychology — prayer, etc, something to help you focus on being safe and staying alive.

depends if your gonna listen and let them affect you or not. i had alot of personal attacks this last 2 weeks and i decided i no longer give a **** and they can say whatever the hell they want. they obvs have nothing better going on in their life is all they have to talk about is mine

42 years, 4 months, 18 days, 2 hours, and 38 seconds.

… on average.

:D

well, that was my laziest method of agreeing with the two of you/backing you guys up without rewording it or using words at all. I felt like you said it all, and southern comfort just made me laugh. I don’t know. I guess it wasn’t very original, unlike

how do you marry someone and stay faithful?

you just do it. you stand up. you look yourself in the mirror. really stare hard and make yourself see. and you say “god dam it! I refuse. I refuse to let this beat me.” say it again. say it hard through clenched teeth. say it loud. scream it. go up onto of the roof of your home and scream it into the night. don’t hold back. you are fighting for your life. yell. it. out. “god dam it, I refuse! I refuse to let this beat me!”

as for these “emotional attacks”? I’m not sure what that’s about, or who’s at fault, but that has to stop.

Huh MTF…???

… We now return you to our regularly scheduled post…

If terrorists sponsor terror attacks, emotionalists must be behind the emotional attacks (of which, terror is a type of emotion, so terrorists would be one type of emotionalist.)

I guess a terror attack and a panick attack are about the same.
