Yes, Miller. I think that with the right medication combination there will come a time when you can feel and appreciate good things. And with the right support and therapeutic work, I think there will come a time when you feel worthy and deserving of all the best life can offer. And even be really outraged when you don't get it. :)

You're dealing with a lot right now in terms of stress. And, for me at least, suicidal ideation seems to increase under stress. If you can't tell your pdoc about your suicidal thoughts, can you tell him that you don't feel free to tell him because of your prior experiences? Can you work with him on a way to tell him without him thinking you mean "right now". And if you do mean "right now" could you tell him anyway, for the sake of those of us who care about you?

Things will get better, Miller. Maybe not permanently "That Girl" sort of happy better, but better enough that you'll be glad you stuck it out.

How are things with your shrink? Do you feel safe with him? Can you tell him the things you can't tell your pdoc? Sometimes the only place in the world I feel safe is in my therapist's office. Sometimes he's the only peace from the storm. And I am pretty attached to that sense of peace. Is there anywhere like that for you? I think that may be one of the downsides to an online shrink.

Take care of yourself, Miller. And while we may worry about you, please don't feel that you have to lie here. We can take the truth, and those of us who can't at any given moment know how to protect themselves by avoiding certain threads. So I hope you can feel a bit safe here.
