Maybe you feel too overwhelmed to choose what to do right now, and it would be more helpful for someone to choose for you.

L, I need you to CALL someone. The hotline Suratji gave the number for, if calling T feels too hard. Call. And post here to say that you've done it.

It's important that you do this now, without delay, because the risk is likely to increase once the babysitter arrives and you no longer have to directly care for your children in the moment.

Lanae, you know you're not thinking straight and any thoughts you have now will be nonsensical.

Please call the hotline. I know you hate making telephone calls but do it anyways.

Keep hanging in there Poetgirl. Do not put down the telephone. If babysitter arrives, let her in and you keep on the phone, ok?

PG, you mentioned being on klonopin in Tree's thread. Klonopin can induce suicidal thoughts and ideation.
I hate that drug and I don't know why it's used so often without telling patients about that.

Conversation with my therapist:

Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."

It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.

Hey Poetgirl hun,

Feeling suicidal is awful. I believe that you mean what you say because you are in a lot of pain and want it to stop. Can I ask if something happened before you went into hospital that triggered your drop in mood?

**huge hugs**

Here with you too. Hold on. Suicide is not an option. Did you get ahold of your t or anyone on the crisis line? Hugging you.

oh wow, thank you everyone for caring so much.....
I am still not feeling well at all but have promised various people I will stay safe.....talked to my T and she was very very stern with me.....talked to a another friend who made me promise to stay safe and will call me in the morning to make sure of it....
Various people think I should go to hospital again but I don't see the value in that.....it did me no good last time I was there. Why should it be any different if I went again.....how embarrassing to see some of the same people there again too!
My H has turned off the internet between 9-12 and 3-7, so my time is now limited....I guess if I spend too much time on it after 7 he will increase the time off. Darn him for being so controlling. It wasn't nice at all to have the internet go off in the middle of my crisis this afternoon.....
Thanks for this!

I am glad that you were able to talk to your T. You said she was very very stern with you. What did she say? Was she supportive? I hope you. Remember you are STRONG and you WILL get through this!!
