Hi Daisy,
This is what my T said to me last year when I was suicidal.
*It would hurt me in a deep place if you killed yourself. I would work through it in time, but I would always miss you. I could possibly help your husband work through it, too, but again there would be this hole where you used to be.
I know, big deal, I would miss you.*She said no note, no matter how well written could make anyone understand why I did it.
I told her that she was just afraid of being a failure as a therapist if one of her clients killed themself. She said that isn't it at all, she would miss me and mourn the loss of me as a person.
I think your T would feel the same way.
BTW I found babble when I was searching on the internet for ways to kill myself. That was two years ago. I'm still here even with the horrors of last year. You're still here, too. Stay here.
