My mom used to tell me to go kill myself when she was mad. Eventually I tried. I am much much healthier now but those lessons sunk deep. Those thoughts still come into my head with some frequency. My T and I talk about them and she never freaks out. She knows I lack the INTENT to die. I'm just still learning how to heal.from my past.
But email is tricky. Too many ways to be misunderstood. Better to call or schedule an earlier appointment and talk about it sooner

The problem is I can't talk about this as well as I've written it. Thats why my T encouraged emailing anything that I left out or have a hard time discussing. I did also ask if I can schedule a session sooner in the email. I didn't use the actually suicide word in the email at all so I guess my T won't know what I mean exactly.
