Can you see a therapist in the meantime. Before outpatient.
Mandy, find someone you can talk to and put all 's' thoughts out of your mind.
I know this is simplistic but when I get suicidal, I just repeat,"It's not an option."
I refuse to let my sick brain tell my well body that it's not worth it to live. It is worth it!
I just know that if I were to kill myself, I'd look down and see Publisher's Clearing House pulling up to my door. Sela Ward would see my picture on their ad, call the TV station and say she has to meet me.
I'd have a child looking for me that I never knew I had. I dream of that one. Then, the stupid contest that I forgot that I had entered would call with the news that they would be delivering my new Lamborgini(sp). The day after, the newspaper headlines scream, "Total Cure For All Mental Illnesses Found."
Ah, you get the picture.Hey, we're a tough bunch, we deal with our demons and go on. At least, I pray that there be no more suicides. Not you or me or anyone. I know it's idealistic. But as the beautiful John Lennon wrote, "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, and the world will be as one."
Rambling at work. Hey, I can be goofy, but I care down to my bones about anyone suffering this disease. Wishing you a fine day.
