Yes... your safety is the main concern at that point, Too, even though the family may not like the idea.
Thanks for the update on how you are feeling.
I'll be thinking about you.
For anyone interested... my therapist suggested the steps, I resisted, saying I didn't see how the steps could help me. The therapist said there was only one guarantee... the guarantee was that if I didn't try the steps they for sure wouldn't work for me. I said I'd think about it, maybe I could find the time.
The therapist then said to be careful and not to possibly let step study time encroach on the hours and hours I spent wallowing in my depression and anxiety entertaining insane thoughts and causing myself emotional pain... we certainly wouldn't want anything productive like studying the steps get in the way of that. Basterd! But I got his point.
