I don’t mean to hijack the thread. I just want to say that I don’t feel like this anymore. I’m over it.
Recovery is possible. I think I played it all out in my head and now I’m just over it. __________________ "And don't say it hasn't been a little slice of heaven, 'cause it hasn't!" . About Me--T |

That's true that a lot of people don't understand, and how could they? They haven't experienced what we have. So I just let their comments roll off if they are good friends and family. May talk to them later about it when I thought about it a little. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that feel this way and have never addressed it with a T. Or they have and the T didn't seem interested, I can certainly see that happen. Take care of yourself, stay out of the water, keep your doors locked, stay healthy, please __________________ "Caught in the Quiet" |

Yes! Yes! Yes! Feel this way every single day! And no one can really understand IRL. Then to study & research about death....well I have to keep that to myself. I find it fascinating. And yes when I did discuss this just once with a shrink....she took it as a threat. Like stated above, I won't return to the MH field for help for myself. I don't see it as a major issue, just a state of being bec it always has been. __________________ "Doubt is like dye.

I asked you about this in another thread about the T. That's what I was afraid of is that they would either blow it off or go overboard. And they might be mandated to do something like when you mention suicide, not sure. Sorry that happened. Can you find another therapist?

You have to state that word because they bring it up even if you try to tip for around it.
The point is - it is their job to listen to you and help you to resolve your problems; not to decide they know your problems better than you and try to resolve your problems based upon that Like I wrote in my "Craving Death" post it is similar to someone saying "help me! the sky just turned red!" Another person says "no, the sky is blue. you just think it's red." First person says "no, it's red! and points to the setting sun... Second person says "Ahh, but look! It's really blue! and indicates the area around it. The original person was afraid of the setting sun. For whatever reason, we never find out - because the second person was too busy convincing the first person how "wrong" he or she is... First rule of helping anyone: LISTEN __________________ Life is not measured by the amount of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away |

Wow, that is so me... I just thought that I couldn't physically take my own life for many reasons that go through my head, but I want out of this world so badly that I have often driven down the road wishing a car would cross the lane into mine, and then I have to stop and think that the other person would be hurt and can't even welcome that thought of escape. Yep I can relate to want it, but can't do it.

With T and pdoc.
Pdoc and I usually rdate it on a scale 0 to 10. And I've explained to him (on a better day) where to start getting concerned, where to start asking about IP, and where to consider pushing harder for IP instead of just asking. With T its a little harder to talk about because it's not so analytical, I guess. She wants to talk and explore it, and most days, it's just there and there really isn't a reason so much. __________________ Diagnoses: PTSD with Dissociative Symptoms, Borderline Personality Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain |

This is a very interesting discussion. I have this. If a Dr told me tomorrow I was terminally ill I wouldn't care. The best option I have to do what I can to make sure my daughter has the resources to work through her MI and hopefully someday be able to work a decent paying job, is my life insurance policy. Prospects for a comfortable retirement (ie: enough money to pay the bills and buy food) are pretty lame so what's the point? So I do think about this a lot, but I would never actually attempt because then insurance wouldn't pay out. It's a fairly new feeling to me and is related to my daughter, but is also related to the state of the world right now and the ongoing assault against programs that help senior citizens, those with MI and the poor. Unless you have a decent pension or retirement plan, what's the point any more?

I'very been thinking more about this and wondering why I sometimes think like this? I wonder if it is connected to learned helplessness, that I am powerless to make my life different? Giving up, giving in?
At times when I feel less vulnerable, energised, purposeful, I don't feel the same way. __________________ Soup |
