Daisy, I'm sorry you're in that dark place again. Your therapist is wonderful, and I'm so glad that you have him. I know what you mean about it seeming like a way of saving yourself from all of the pain and struggle. I've felt that way too. And it's hard for our Ts to counter that. My old T used to tell me that in his belief system, suicide didn't actually save you from that pain. It just moved you to a different place where you had to deal with the pain, and then *also* your decision to turn against yourself.

Sorry if that's not helpful. It never really helped me, because I don't actually believe that. And I really wanted/needed to believe that there *was* a way out.

many safe hugs
