I got out inpatient for the third time this year and I'm now in transitions. Lately I've been feeling extremely suicidal (I've told my staff and family). The other day I attempted suicide and unfortunately failed. I had a med increase that went terrible so we dropped down again. I'm still feeling suicidal and I can't take life anymore

Please don't give up on your life. You are important and worthy of being alive. Continue to work with your doctor to get the right medication dosages. Do you see a therapist?

I've been going to a therapist for over a year now. Things have only been getting worse and I'm sick of it all

Please listen along to this simple exercise.

I have found that it's quite helpful for those of us who are in the orbit of therapy/Dr's/diagnosis/medications type settings

The imagery of being invited into a room reminds me of a therapists office but in this room we do not engage in speaking, it's more of a recognizing.

Pleas try.

Just hold on a little bit longer, I know it might seem to be asking a lot as you feel you do not wish to be here, but I want you to stay here. You are seeking help here so that does mean something, that you are looking for a reason to stay. You matter more then you know, even though you don't feel it.
