I try to reach out to T, but that's hard bec I feel like I'm asking her to intervene & her only option is to hospitalize me. But part of me puts that decision in her hands knowing she will help me in any way that she can.
Tell your T & maybe you can talk thru your feelings about it. Especially the "why" questions.
Peace!

I'm trying to. I think I want to. I just think I feel weak. I do understand that feeling of calmess - the one time I tried, was in a moment like that. I can say that i'm not quite there yet. I'm at the point where i'm trying to make the decision.

that is a good point that i've heard before but not considered. I try not to ask if I dont have the time, energy or desire to really listen.

But i usually give a short vague answer. It doesnt matter what they think of me anyway.

Yeah I told t today I was fine and she said "good" and "fine" are my code words for not.

Yeah T told me today that she asks because she is trained to but she wants to know because she cares. I don't know. I just feel bad asking for anything. Why not just make a decision and stop relying on others. (which makes me wonder why im even on here).

Tried it once. Didnt realize until years later how pathetic of an attempt it was. Have the urge to do the same thing but not with suicidal intent.

Your GP sounds amazing. And the quoted statement - made me think... I may have to apply this because I don't really know how close I am, but I'd rather not find out when it's here.
