When Life Feels Too Heavy to Carry: Hope for Suicidal Ideation
When Life Feels Too Heavy to Carry: Hope for Suicidal Ideation
If you’re here, reading this, please know: you’re not alone.
You may feel like you’re at the end of your rope. That nothing will ever change. That you’ve already tried everything and nothing has helped. Or maybe you’re just tired—tired in a way that no one seems to understand.
Whether you’re having suicidal thoughts, have attempted suicide, or simply wish you didn’t have to wake up tomorrow, you are not broken—and you are not beyond hope.
At Honey Lake Clinic, we care deeply about people who are in this kind of pain. We’ve walked with many adults through seasons of darkness, despair, and silence. Through evidence-driven, faith-based treatment, we help individuals confront what feels unbearable—and begin to heal.
98% of patients who complete our program report meaningful progress. We believe you can too.
One conversation can change everything.
What Is Cutting as Suicidal Ideation?
What Is Cutting as Suicidal Ideation?
Suicidal ideation refers to thoughts about ending your life. These may range from vague, passive thoughts (“I wish I didn’t exist”) to active plans or urges (“I want to die and here’s how I would do it”).
There are two types:
- Passive suicidal ideation: wishing you were gone or wouldn’t wake up, but without a specific plan
- Active suicidal ideation: thinking about or planning to end your life, with varying levels of intent
If you’re thinking things like:
- “The world would be better without me.”
- “I’m a burden.”
- “I just want the pain to stop.”
- “It wouldn’t matter if I was gone.”
—then you are having suicidal thoughts. And even if part of you believes no one can help, another part of you is still searching. Still reading. Still hoping.
Understanding Suicide Attempts
Understanding Suicide Attempts
A suicide attempt is when someone takes action intending to end their life but survives.
Some attempts are planned. Others are impulsive. Regardless of how it happened—or if
it “counts” in your mind—it’s a sign that the pain you’re carrying has become too much.

You may still be feeling the effects:
- Emotional numbness
- Shame or guilt
- Fear of being judged
- Fear that you’ll try again
But the truth is this: You are not your attempt. You are not defined by a moment. You are a person who has suffered deeply—and who deserves to heal.
Why Am I Feeling This Way?
Suicidal thoughts and behaviors are often connected to:
- Depression
- Trauma or PTSD
- Anxiety disorders
- Substance use
- Unresolved grief or loss
- Spiritual despair or disconnection
- Feelings of isolation, rejection, or unworthiness
You may have tried therapy. Medication. Prayer. Or maybe nothing at all. But there is a difference between surviving and healing.
And healing is what we offer.
