How can I not let insults or rejection from the past cause suicidality?

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Insults and rejection do not cause suicide, people make a voluntary choice to do that.
You don't let insults and rejection harm you by rejecting them if they are lies and believing the truth instead.

First, if you have BPD, as I do, remember that your tendency is to exaggerate the past negative experiences. On that basis, ask the Holy Spirit, in the Name of Jesus Christ, to enter your thinking. Invite Him as you would your most trusted friend, because He is only good, only love, and only on your side. Ask Him to protect you from any enemy tactics that would be formed against you. Then relax as best you can in the Truth.
If you get brave enough to think a little deeper, then remember that Jesus Christ died for ALL your sins, not just some of them. So if you did something that you are ashamed of, remember that I, as one of your human friends probably did the same thing only worse, and that Jesus Christ paid the price for it on the Cross. God knows all about your BPD and He is ready to support you forever. I will personally pray that your thoughts of suicide will diminish until it is no longer an important issue, but a fleeting thought, easily given over to God as you improve day by day in your Christian journey. God bless you my friend in Christ. Botham

Thank you. It is hard to not believe bad things about myself, and when I do, it's a downward spiral leading to suicidal feelings. I'm currently learning mindfulness and DBT.
