I’m guessing many things were discussed during your crisis. I remember weeks like that and certain statements stood out to me among the many ideas covered; I sometimes didn’t remember everything and focused on certain things. And sometimes I honestly misremembered or misunderstood what was said simply because my mind wasn’t terribly clear. Is it possible that you clung to that one statement but much more was also said? Just a possibility.

I do remember that my therapist wanted me to want to live for myself, not just for others, and I am pretty certain we had those discussions in the midst of the crisis. It was fine that I wanted to live to not hurt others, but that wasn’t enough. It wasn’t the end game; I had to want to live for my own sake. Perhaps that’s where he was going.

I’m glad you are doing better. Certainly talk to him about it. It is important to process the crisis time after the fact.
