If you think it'll help, I would. Sometime I e-mail my T just to dump the negative thoughts somewhere so to speak.

It only becomes a problem if patients do it manipulatively, just to get attention or to create chaos. Some people do that. But that doesn't sound like you, Jordy. I've read many of your posts and you sound like someone who's honestly struggling and trying to get help.

If you're slipping back toward suicide, it's better to ask for help than to suffer in silence. Take care.
I think it's important to note that while there maybe people who do it "for attention" often it's because they don't know how to get what they need and so by the time they reach out, they're falling apart.
