Just wanted to say something about making your energy waves higher -- a few years back, I was suicidal. I didn't even consider therapy at that time, but I did strive to do things on my own to get out of that surprising suicidal thinking that overtook me. For me, it was the small things you mentioned like music, colors, etc. One of the best things I did was find a little shop near my house that sold fresh flowers pretty cheap, and I started to pick up fresh flowers every few days and put them in vases all over my house. It made such a huge difference. I also distanced myself from the "toxic" people I could reasonably get away from, went on a news fast, and tried not to watch sad movies or listen to sad music. It really worked after a time.
Then, when I was stabalized, I went into therapy to help change the core issues not just the cosmetic, environmental ones, and became suicidal all over again. :) How strange that was! But, I'm coming out of that abyss once again, I hope.
Maybe I should up the flower intake . . .
