Good luck, Dinah!

I agree with your friend that some kind of code could help here. So you can say "I feel xyz", and he can say "What you can do is.... Do you still feel xyz?" and you can say "Yes". Well, it would be nice if you could honestly say "No" at that point, but even if my therapist says something brilliant, it doesn't get down to the part that is hurting for an hour or two at least.

The most successful thing that I've done when I want to hurt myself is to get some crayons and draw a picture. The smell of the crayons is wonderful. My pictures tend to say more than words do - or at least if I have to describe the picture I end up with more useful words than if I just tried to talk about it.

(I was going to say: Remember that being painfully honest gives them the best chance of helping you. But then I thought about my last 2 months, and I decided not to say that.)
