I received an email. She said I don't no how to you to respond to the impulses and suicidal feelings other than telling you don't do it and you know what I'd say. So I wrote her back explained how my thinking is and what I need from her when I write stuff. She did it tonight.

Agreed, congratulations on stating your needs! Glad she heard it.

Ive just learnt that when i get a impulse or suicidal i now manage to stop and think what does doing X solve? Will it actually solve and fix things, will it fix a feeling for very long time. Always the answer is no it doesnt fix and its not long lasting fix.
Doesnt always work but thats how my psych nurse has helped me reduce some my self harm.

Someone shared their plan here. Wait one week to take action. Shared that this has worked well as things change during that one week wait period. Just a share. Hugs.

Hi- How are you today?
Glad to hear that you’re able to communicate with your therapist. Telling her about how you exactly feel will be a big help to your healing.

I pray that you will have peace and strength every day and you will overcome. Keep us posted. Take care, God bless.
