> I agree, I would never take my own life whilst there are things that I can take for relief. Zyprexa has been a God Send.
Good, I'm glad you've found something that helps.

> Sorry, I know that you are not feeling very good at I the moment and probably don't want to hear me going on about stuff like this but I was just curious to know if other people felt the same way.

>Thanks for your concern. I really don't mind the discussion. My brain has produced a whole lot of thoughts about suicide, too. But I have to second Scott's thoughts on your situation. It's just not a good idea to prepare the means now while assuming you still won't act on it.
One thing I notice about my own recent episode was that my thoughts were sort of removing the obstacles to suicide one by one. When I could get some perspective, I realized it was like I was being led toward suicide even while I didn't think I was actually in danger. When I hear you talking about deciding on a method (overdose on pills) then getting the pills together, it seems similar and I am scared for you. I hope you will tell your doctor about your impulse to get pills before acting on it.
