I just feel so empty and alone all of the time and I'm not even sure I'm worth the trouble of saving. But I have to carry on and figure out how to handle my sui thoughts because I do have friends that I care about a lot and I don't believe I have the right to put them through the pain of losing a close friend. I was just wondering if I could put my T on that list because I know a client/T relationship isn't exactly a mutual thing. She doesn't need me, but I need her and that kinda bothers me.

I think the best thing to do for our therapists is to quit therapy with them, give it time perhaps several weeks before the suicide so they will never know. They won't be contacted since we are not under their care and it does not happen under their "watch" so to speak.
