@Pepsimax I have super gigantic missing-CherryBomb feelings too. It super super SUPER hurts. And like you say, when we lose someone important to us, it triggers other super gigantic missing feelings about other people we have lost. I know how super badly it hurts. For me, I know there is no way to fix it, I just need to ride the wave.
I personally don't struggle with urges to SH. If I want to SH, I just do it. It isn't an urge I fight against. However, when I have the urge to suicide, I lie in my bed or on the floor. I know it is just a feeling and that feelings pass. I don't find it helpful to focus on NOT doing something. For me, that's like trying to NOT think about pink elephants. What I'm trying to say is that when I am struggling with the urge to suicide, I don't work at not suiciding. Rather, I do something that makes it physically impossible to act on the urge, which for me means lying in my bed or on the floor. The big feelings can be superly duperly gigantic, but they are only feelings and feelings pass.
Anyway, I really just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in having super gigantic missing-people feelings today. I know how very very badly the feelings can hurt.
