trigger warning probably not necessary, mention of past sui.

the 2nd anniversary of my last suicide attempt was a couple days ago. It was the day that everything changed for me. Everything. It's amazing to me to look back over the last 2 years from where I am now and see how it all came together. It felt like chaos at the time, but it worked out. Is still working out.

I talked to my T (on the phone) on the anniversary day. I told her I'm glad I'm still here. She told me she is really glad I'm still here, too. She said it three times. She thanked me for sticking around, and I thanked her for sticking with me.

T said that I am an inspiration to her, and she said that isn't something she says often, and that she has never said it to a client before.

Things have been so hard these last 3 months, and last week in particular it felt like everything was going to fall apart, all at once. But I got through it, and things are easier this week. I feel deep down that I will be okay, that I have the ability to right myself when I start to wobble, that I am not in danger of falling all the way back to the bottom of the pit anymore. More importantly, I feel like I can do that without my T. I don't HAVE to do it without her right now, and I'm thankful for that, but for the first time I feel really deep down that if I lost T today I would be ok.

I am so glad you are here!

You have come so far in the time you have been here on PC. I think it is amazing that you can see the growth and that you are able to believe in yourself. Believe that you are able to 'right yourself when you wobble'. That is so great.

Keep taking care of yourself. You deserve it.
Thanks for this!

zoo, there you are. It is so, so good to hear from you.

I have to say that your strength is so inspiring to me. I can't imagine the transition you have made and how you have gotten through it.. to hear that you are in this place right now brings a huge smile to my face. So much love,
