toomuch,
you can conquer this, we all believe you can. ten years ago, i was hospitalized for self-harming and substance abuse. i got sober for a period, and the other ideations never returned--they just manifested themselves in a heavier consumption of alcohol when i did return to drinking.
have you ever been in DBT group therapy? perhaps that could help? i am currently working through a DBT workbook, along with seeing a cognitive behavioral therapist, and the two really helped me address alot of my self-defeating behavior and face the fact that i AM an alcoholic. i truly hope you are well, you can make it through this.

There's nothing wrong with being needy and getting the help we deserve.

I am here. PM me and I'll give you my phone number. I will do anything I can to assist my "sister."
Lots of arms are holding you right now, Suzette. Thank God you have the courage to ask for help.
Yes, SR can be part of your therapy. More specifically the people who care more than you know. I'd fly there if it helped...
No self harming, Suzette. You would be harming so many others if you did and I know you are incapable of that.
Love you,
warren

I have been in the hospital since Friday morning. I went to IOP that morning and after check in they decided to hospitalize me. I am home now and on 2 new medications that seemed to relieve me of my suicidal visualizations that had control of me.
I will continue along with IOP to make sure I continue to do well, I also have a new therapist I will meet with once a week.
Thank you all for being here for me.
