A few days ago I was at Target and feeling lonely, and then I got an anxiety attack. But when I was back with a friend, I was feeling connected and more relaxed.
Truth-- I do have kids, and I'm in my late 30s. Having kids is supposed to make me have less suicidal thoughts, but instead just makes me feel more guilty.

Having things to improve upon is ok. There is no way it is possible to solve all your problems in group (and I have done a few groups). You are a work in progress.
Do you have the DBT Skills workbook? I am just starting to read it and I love it. I should start DBT in January.
If kids are supposed to make you have less suicidal thoughts I missed the memo. I have been more suicidal as a parent then at any other time of my life. I am terrified that I am going to turn into my parents and my son will hate me the way I hate my parents. I am afraid I am screwing up and that he would be better without me.
