@Hashi Thanks!

I found going to a different venue, do different things, distract myself, self talk and being around other people very helpful yesterday.

I am glad that you acknowledge that you are stuck. So know that you know you are stuck, you can work in therapy to get unstuck and do independent study so that you can track down the skill sets you missed (I had plenty I missed too). The good news is you can teach old dogs new tricks. I know, because this old dog (me) is doing plenty of things that I couldn't do a couple of years ago.

I vote for making peace with this (I did what was necessary to survive and endure... I have outgrown this mechanism and I don't need it anymore)... getting over it and moving on.

It can happen. Trust me. ;)

I do want to do this.

I need to make peace with suicidal ideation. My thoughts to replace the suicidal ideation are:

I did what was necessary to survive and endure. I have outgrown suicidal ideation and I don't need it anymore. Even thought I am really scared and fearful and unsure what the next step is. I can get over using suicidal ideation to manage my emotions and I can move on with my life.

That's a great few sentence mantra Ms Spock. I hope you can remember that when you need it most. You can move on. I'm rooting for you as always (as I'm sure many others here are too).
