WW/WAW Looking for advice from the pros (Sandi)

[asitis]

Prowl,

I'm really sorry that you are so low. You mention the possibility of taking your life. If you have that thought, call 1-800-SUICIDE immediately. If you think you are going to imminently harm yourself, please call 911 (if you're in the states) immediately. You have kids and they would be devastated. They are innocents in this, and it would scar them for life. This isn't just about your life.

Even if think you aren't serious about that threat, you need (1) to get with someone supportive now. (2) You need to be seen and evaluated by a psychiatrist ASAP. You likely need a bit of medication to get you through this time. It could also help you get a bit less reactive to your W. It is not over, despite what was said. Remember the not believing what they say. That goes especially in an argument. You need to be able to detach from this and come back with a bit more distance and perspective. (3) Find some IC if you haven't soon. You need someone with more training and an appropriate therapeutic relationship that is beyond us here.

It's not over. There is a famous saying that really is true if you stop to think it through: "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."

I know you are hurting bad. Real bad. We'll be thinking & praying for you.
