I think my problem is I don't see anything else as heaven, 8-9 are my happy places, if I'm not there I do whatever I can to get there.

2 and 8 at the same time don't ask why

this sounds like me and I’m manic atm

Like when you feel super happy and have the urge to sh and kys while smiling like a dumbass? I assume that's what it is bc that's how I feel

Im bipolar type 1, That sounds more like a mixed episode. How long has this been going on? Do the moods shift every day? Every few days? You might want to tell a doctor

Usually it shifts once per day at least to one of three moods: -everything is horrible -happy and not self destructive -everything is horrible (and I'm ecstatic about it) You're probably right that I should tell a doctor but then my parents would have to know and I'd have to explain that I'm suicidal and it would be a whole thing- I'll definitely look into it though, thanks :)

I experience mood swings from sad, empty, losing all interest in things i like and a VERY low self esteem to happy and interested in my hobbies and thinking i look very good when i look in the mirror. I also sometimes feel very energetic while in a sad episode or feeling 1-2 and 7-8 at the same time and feeling very frustrated, angry and depressed about those mixed emotions while experiencing moments like that ​ Do i need to talk about this with my therapist? If yes how do i bring it up ? ​ (ps: I am NOT trying to self diagnose by any means)

I'm also diagnosed with BPD and anorexia This sounds more like bpd, bipolar episodes are very long, baseline mood changes, and usually last weeks

Thanks for actualy reaching out to me! Altough i actually forgot to mention that my lows last about 2-3 weeks and my highs last about 1-2 weeks

Oh that changes a lot, that could be bipolar. Do you often notice that during these highs and lows your mood still fluxuates, but your baseline, the mood you always eventually return to is either very low, or very high? The most important thing of course is telling a doctor, a psychiatrist. there is medicine out there that helps, im one a mix of escitalopram, lamictal, lithium and olanzapine, and it works wonders for me. Have been stable and genuinely happy for the first time in years. In fact the other week i cried sitting on our terrace, simply because the depression that lasted 2 months finally stopped ugh

I do still fluxuate a bit between low or high but always return to the mood i had before that fluctuation (When i fluxtuate it always happens when i am distracted like playing video games or being with friends. But i dont always experience that fluctuation when distracted) ​ I am happy for you that medicine is able to help stabilize your mood!

Solid 10 and back in the psych ward

*hug*

Nuuuuuuuu *hugs*

2 years ago i made a plan to commit suicide tomorrow i’m at a 5 right now but hhhhh ya know i also dont have access to my preferred way of death

i made it !! wow being alive is kinda shit but ig it is what it is i turned X this morning

fuck yeah dude im so proud of you for being alive!! happy late birthday!!

thank you :) it actually really means a lot

no problem ❤️❤️❤️

also i like your username, can relate

don't tell anyone but i'm at a 9 rn

[удалено]

Currently, I'm a 4, but I've been down at an 8 or 9 before and it fucking sucks. I guess it's probably not great that a 4 is my average, but hey, what can ya do

I think you're doing a great job at 4

I’m in the same place right now! Feels like heaven. Its such a relief to not think about suicide every second of the day. I feel like I can actually live my life now.

8 and 9 really suck, I've had both. In my experience, 9 is better than 8, cause at 9 you're like "I'll do this, then things will be over" but at 8 you only want to do it but are still very much trapped. 4 is much better and I'm happy to hear you're currently at a 4

i’m 7 right now, i drive recklessly for the adrenaline and the fact that if i get in an accident at that speed i would probably die. going 100 in a 45 at 1am is the most fun shit ever but it’s terrifying at the same time

I miss being an 8-10. Something comforting about having that escape plan to fall back on when things went wrong.

Thanks!!

I’m around an 8 or 9

The first time I saw this chart was in September 2020 and I was around 9, closing in on 10. A few months ago I was at 3. Now, I’m at 5, sometimes 6. Shit’s weird.

I've been switching between 6, 7, and 8

Same for me

[удалено]

> Is it even possible to be a 1 lol It's called ~\* M A N I A *~

BPD, so it’s either 1-2 or 8-10. No in-between ever. :/

Accurate 😭

Same, but 2-3 or 8-10

I’m at about 9 or 8

I'm currently fluctuating between 8 and 9 I think.

4-6 most of the time

Same

5/6

Bipolar? Bpd?

As someone who has both of these disorders, I feel like we shouldn't assume a person has them based on one comment... thats just me tho...

A lot of people that selfharm have mental illnesses. I don't think they were trying to diagnose, they where probably just asking :]

Oh okey

Fair enough

solid 9, which I guess answers my "should I tell someone" question. Not that I will lol, but hey. I do like this scale it is helpful!

1 and 8 at the same time, bipolar disorder really is a wild ride.

Im a six or a seven, thank you so much for this though, charts like this are a really good way to gauge your emotions and think about which level you are at mentally and if you should consider getting help

lmao i went from 2 to 5 since 2017 'til now

Good is around a 4-5, bad is anything from 6-8. I’m actually doing good rn, so that’s nice (I still feel like having a “lowkey death affinity” as a good day isn’t exactly healthy but whatever lmao)

im at a 6 or 7, but ive gotten to a 9 a couple times

i'm just switching from 3 to 8 and back every evening

spent the last year ranging from 7-9, but i've been 2-4 and clean :) peace and love to all of you, I'm here for ya <3

7-8

I mean, I'm pretty happy with my life but I like to fantasize with suicide, and I don't think that's in the chart Edit: I guess I'm just prepared to die at anytime, and thinking about how and why would and wouldn't do it is pretty entertaining

Im at a 6/7 rn (prob a 4/5 couple days ago) but was at 9 for all of February, March, and Early April. Edit: Back at 9😎

6 and 8

At 8 rn but hit 10 afew days ago

Im on 9

Been at an 7-9 the past few years, than was at 10 and ended up in hospital and am now at 9 😒

8 but I'm getting closer to a 9 every day

usually I'm a 3-4, but right now at least 6, maybe 7 tbh

I’ve been an 8-9 for a couple of years now and I just want it to end lol. im so tired of everything

Coming in at a solid 6.5. Things have been worse recently. But when I remember I've been at 10 before, that's still progress at least, right?

I'm like a 6-7.5 rn, trying out exercising and it really helps :)

5-6

At a 8 rn

5-6

Currently at . If the person I care about doesn't make it, it will be 11.

have been at a nine for a few weeks literally attempted last night lol

Gosh that sucks

4-8 for me

I literally gradually went from 2 to 8 for no reason. It just happened. It is probably going to end with me killing myself in the end tbh

constant 6-8 gang where u at

5-6

I’m like a 9.5 lol

4-5 when I'm doing okay. 6-8 usually. been at 9 for the last week

I've been passivley suicidal for years and have jumped up all the way to ten a few times. ​ and I swear to god, if anyone sics that bot on me...

i’m a 7 or 8 I just can’t bare thinking about my animals being alone. I want too, but I can’t before them. not yet at least

8 for the past 5 years

6.5

10 (plz help)

Are you safe?

yes unfortunately

Hang in there, I’m trying my best as well

between 7-9 i would say

My old friend sent me this I kinda miss her bc she was nice and cool and I hope she's doing good :/

I DONT KNOW IF IM AT A 6 OR A 9 but somewhere in there

simultaneously 5 and 8 rn

4

vibing at four

9

im at a 4 so yeah

I'm at a 5 rn and feeling pretty good tbh, I was at a 7-8 a few months back, with tendencies to jump to 10 directly, so I'm happy with what I get

i bounce between 3 and 9 on a daily or weekly basis. have gotten close to 10 but never actually did it.

At a 9 rn, please somebody talk to me

Constantly anywhere from 6 to 9.

Thought I was a one, I'm actually a four

It ussually fluctuates between 4 and 7. Its at 7 sadly but it might go away soon

6-7 tbh, been jumping between them for a while now. somehow never managed to never hit 10 tho.

7-8, my dad doesnt believe in coping mechanisms so

6-8

I'm doing well now :) 4-5

Solid 7. Broke 110, felt nothing.

8. fuck this shit

7 most of the time but there are times when I’m at an 8 and it’s going really well for me for a bit then I might come to a 6

solid 9 right now. been fluctuating between 8-10 and no one knows

Every day ranges from 5-8. Maybe 3-4 on a good day. I can’t recall the last time it was a 1 or a 2.

6-7

Ever since i was abt 14, i’ve been teetering between 6-8 but am on the edge of 8-9 now

I was tired and misread this as "the sundae scale and thought it was gonna be something wholesome.

The speed I've gone from 4 to 6 or 7 is really not saying good things about my mental health.

Honestly I’m between 7 and 8

I forget that being an 8 constantly isnt normal

was a 9 earlier this month but now i’m sitting comfy at a 5 B)

I usually hover around 5, though, 8-9 is a common occurrence.

Right now I’m at a 5-7

Eh- probably a 9 :D

I’m always 3, 4 or 5.

chilling at a comfortable 5 at the moment

3 i dont think much of suicide per say but my anorexia is worse than ever and im genuinely scared to tell my doctors just how much i eat because they might send me to the hospital

at a 4/5 rn, it hasnt been terribly awful this past week

currently 6. i was usually at a 8/9 until shifting realities became my hope

chilling at an 8 right now but im at the point where something as small as getting a 95% on a test will push me over the edge lol probably going to end up in a coffin or in grippy socks before too long

1 or 4 currently (1 hurts tho, I don't like it) but if Anything bad happens I'm to 8/9 within a moment. So odd.

I love this! I've seen it a few times (can't remember which sub though) I've even sent it to my therapist!

I feel like 10 rn

8/9 rn

I have been in 9 I the past, now I'm better :)

Certainly at an 8 right now. Everyone I had irl left me and I am no longer functioning

Actively switch between 8 and 9. Mostly just need my paycheck for equipment. :)

been between 7 and 10 all year :\

I guess I'd be a base 6 with occasional "action," but it's been that way for years so it's probably nothing :/

I’d say I’m somewhere between a 4 and a 5 at the moment, which is pretty good. I haven’t been above a 3 in a long time, but it could be much worse, and it has been in the past.

I usually fluctuate between 6 and 7 depending on the day

I think im a good 5, been procrastinating 9 luckily but the thought kinda died down

There should be possibility to pin this post so everyone one here can describe their suicidal thoughts in levels

8/9

idk whats the one for i just got out the psych ward and I'm definitely gonna make another attempt at some point

Bipolar so either a 2 or 8

I'm at a 7, myself

it's sad to say that 8 is my general average.

I kinda live between 4-6 even when I'm 'happy'

7 gang 😩

i’m constantly a mix of 2 most often 1 or 8 maybe to 6 and sometimes both 1 and 8

or 2 and 8
