nice metaphor: >>I know all about the seduction. I think of it as a siren song of suicide.
>>I've decided that convincing myself that this is the only way to kill myself is actually a built in safeguard against actually doing it. In a strange way, it's my own self-protection. I've thought alot sometimes about buying a gun just to have one on hand, but I know that would be very dangerous for me because the impulse is sometimes so strong.
this is EXACTLY what i've done. i won't allow any gun in the house, even though i love guns (i think the protection/power is the lure for me). but i can't own or even in house cuz i'm pretty 97% sure that i would use it on myself.
and this strategy DOES work for me, i'm glad it works for you too.
take care
