I have been inpatient more times than I can count! I found a t that helped me see I have the power to avoid the hospital. He helped by telling me to stand up and go outside for a walk. Or in therapy language, opposite action.

From my perspective, the only way to escape suicidal ideation is to get to the other side. To work through the pain, discomfort, anger, or what ever started the suicidal ideation. In my experience, I found I have unresolved grief from a move when I was 7. Our experiences have led us to this point of wanting death, and we have the power to escape the trauma of the past, ending the cycle of mental health concerns.

Again this is my view after 15 years of finding my way through. I am not "out" of it, I am working to resolve, which doesn't happen overnight!!
