Rules
- try to label triggering content and hide it behind a spoiler. In general at least make sure you hide mentions of suicide, self harm, violence, and sexual content.
- Don't discuss specific plans to injure or kill yourself or others. Discussion of general ideation is acceptable. Got something AWFUL to say? Try c/VoidScreaming
- Avoid requesting or giving medical advice beyond personal experience. Describing how you personally managed a medication side effect, for instance, is fine.

That is an interesting and cool idea. Curious about how it goes!
Since you were nice enough to comment I later realized that most hymns are designed for a second verse:
Honestly so far the biggest thing I'm noticing is that I'm still having the thoughts but it's keeping me from dwelling as much which is already reducing my distress.
I also have a hymn for the void now (since chronic feelings of emptiness are actually one of the hallmarks of my disorder) but that one's much longer.
I use mantras sometimes for a simmilar reason, I find just having something to interrupt the train of thought and give me something else to focus on helps.
