Overall, your post gives the impression of a person who has read too many pop psychology books / websites / articles etc. for her own good and who does not trust her instincts and judgment and instead overanalyzes everything that happens from the vantage point of what she gleaned from those sources.

The only thing that is worrisome about the whole affair is that you felt suicidal. Was it a fleeting feeling? How are you feeling now?

You wrote: "I read, in order to break a soul tie". What is a soul tie in your book? Can you explain?

You signed the post with "Young and lost." and you indeed are, but you also appear very confused. I think the path forward for you is to learn to trust yourself and demote the importance of pop psychology sources and the Bible and everything else external in your environment. By the way, does the therapist know that you felt suicidal? You wrote that the therapist told you that sharing is intimacy. Well, obviously it is, so at least the therapist is on target there; can the therapist also assist with dealing with suicidal feelings?

How often do you feel suicidal? Have you felt suicidal outside of this incident? You wrote about feeling suicidal in a very matter-of-factly manner, suggesting that this is a repeat occurrence with you. I hope you stay safe. Your exploration of the world as you are describing it is clearly safe, but feeling suicidal can lead to unsafe outcomes.
I'd like to know what makes you say that I have read too many things for my own good? It is true I overanalyze things
