    New Lover

    Thanks everyone for these kind words. I am really struggling with emotional extremes. Logically I know things will get better. But it's hard because I also know they will get worse again. Not seeing much point in fighting for anything right now.

    Being thrown away sucks

    Wow. I don't think this is just something a person with ptsd would have a hard time with. This is hurtful to anyone. Please take care.

    Shattered

    i just got home from inpatient treatment for extreme SI last night. I'm not doing too well. Kind of want to share what's going on but not feeling the desire to even type. Hard to see a reason to go on at this point. Hopefully things will improve as the days go by.

    How do you find a therapist when suicidal?

    I understand the question here. I don't think you will scare away a therapist, rather they will ask you to make a type of verbal contract where you promise not to hurt yourself before you call him/her. If you become acutely suicidal under a therapist care they will have you admitted for some...
