You're welcome. And thanks for saying you're glad I survived. It was an awful experience because of how I was treated by the hospital and my family. I didn't try again for years simply because I was afraid I'd fail again and end up in the hospital again.
I think it helps to see suicidal feelings as a symptom. As you say, they're a sign that you're in a lot of pain. Personally I find they come and go, come and go, so when they come I try to remind myself that I can withstand them.
Are you on any meds?
