Teenage Mental Health: Coping with Exhaustion and Suicidal Thoughts – Expert Advice

Jakarta

Question:

Doc, at my age I’m not old enough to think about things that I think are heavy. But, sometimes people say ‘you are too stupid, whatever’.

When I’m tired of everything, mind, body, soul, everything, I want to die. Is that too much Doc?

Answer:

In life, humans experience challenges and problems that can actually be used as motivation to develop themselves. The process of solving problems and overcoming challenges is seen in the context of learning which will ultimately produce new skills.

However, there are times when the challenges and problems faced are of great intensity or multiple, and occur at the same time or over a long period of time.

When this happens and a solution has not been found, fatigue can result and if left untreated, despair can emerge. It is important that we develop healthy problem-solving mechanisms.

When we start to feel tired, it’s best to give yourself time to rest. Find time out to do things you like and enjoy, share with people you trust and adopt a healthy lifestyle.

For example, adjusting your diet, exercising regularly and practicing good sleep hygiene.

If you have done these methods but the feeling of hopelessness has not improved, please consult with a mental health professional. Especially if thoughts start to arise that it would be better to die or suicidal ideas.

Sometimes because you feel too tired, the idea arises of ending your life. In fact, what he really wants to end is his fatigue, not his life.

By consulting with professionals in the field of mental health, it is hoped that the condition can be immediately evaluated thoroughly and appropriate treatment can be immediately obtained.
