Hi
I feel unsafe because I am still struggling with thoughts of suicide ... with plans. I shouldn't be anymore.
DON'T FEEL GUILTY! You can't be of use to work or your family if you are not well. You have to get well. I was at facilty where you are when I lived in Calgary. It was part of the hospital but it wasn't permanent (in structure).
Take care.
Maxime

I got 2 hours of sleep, as there isn't a Dr on duty tonight, so my sleep meds haven't been adjusted. I'm a little scared here, and am already feeling strong guilt for leaving my family, lying to my work, etc. I'm not sure what the new day will bring, but I'm hopeful. Thanks for all your kind support. I hope you are doing well.
