Hi guys,

Thanks for replying. I thought I would post an update since I have not replied to this thread. I have been acutely suicidal for the past couple of weeks and cant afford to dismantle my support systems right now at least until I am out of this funk. Especially since I don’t feel the trust or motivation to build new support systems. I communicated my distress to my therapist, she has increased my number of sessions and the structure helps. I have withdrawn from the friend however.

It seems to me that even otherwise reliable people may not be reliable if the timing is wrong (series of unfortunate incidents, for example my therapist was hospitalized, my friend is dealing with her own depression). What do you guys think about this?

Best,

m
