Mental Health Support

I agree about "dimmer switch". I was used to having suicidal episodes about 2-4 times a year. Once a week is just unacceptable given the meds I'm already on.

I hope your cycles are manageable. My suicidal episodes generally last 6-8 hours. I HATE them. I have this mantra that I run through my head when I have episodes: "This won't last - it's just chemical." I push it through the feelings like a string of sanity holding me to the real world.

I hope you have developed strategies to get you through.
