I'm taking Death and Dying as a class this semester. I know what you are thinking, why would I take this class? Honestly I regret picking it because today was one of the hardest classes I have sat through. Today we talked about suicide. I've attempted it before and so has my little brother. I wanted to get up and leave as soon as my professor started to talk. I was able to leave whenever I wanted to but I felt as if I was glued to my seat, and now I feel absolutely horrible. I don't know what to think right now. My head is a mess.

I would think this could be a cathartic class for you, but a very difficult one to handle. It seems like it could set you off, or help you see things in a new way. The first time I was suicidal, I was working in a funeral home. It turned out to be very good for me--cleared my head in interesting ways about my mortality. Also, I have several videos from a Public TV show on Death and Dying to help cope with my and my wife's parents. Some parts are hard to watch, but SO good for us. Good luck to you.
