Suicide by starvation really isn't suicide. It takes too long for it to represent a single thought. I would consider what you describe to be parasuicidal behaviour. It is you raising the white flag, and showing everyone you have the red flag at your side.
That is fine, for now.
You have us, after all. You are not alone, unless you refute the connection with Babblers. Alone is a decision. You could call the same thing solitude.
You are very new to both psychotherapy and to meds, I presume, from what you said already?
It takes time. Really what we have to remedy, this malady, whatever it is, is timeless. Unfortunately for us, the rest of the world is welded to clocks and calendars.
Simplify your life. That is what is called for. Postpone what can be postponed. Cancel what can be cancelled. Cut the links to clock and calendar, to the extent that you are able. Manage what is left, rather than those other compelling links to time.
All will be well. Seriously. I know that. All will be well.
