Hi Nicoleresati-- I just read and replied to your other post about the LPC suggesting meds. I said to stand your ground if you felt you didn't need them.
After reading this, however, and seeing that you have had some pretty strong suicidal feelings, I wonder if you would consider them. Meds are often a first line of attack against serious depression that includes suicidal feelings. They can be very helpful with that.
I don't know if you are still living with your dad and if he still owns a gun, but I would also suggest talking with your counselor about a safety plan that includes making the gun totally inaccessible to you.
Please hang in there!
