So, I thought I was doing better, but on Saturday night I ended up calling the national suicide prevention hotline. I feel like I am constantly on a roller coaster from feeling much better to feeling worse than ever. Should I still be in individual counseling? I feel like I should've been over the abuse by now. Wouldn't I be if I were really that strong or brave? Please help.
