Hi @florencefifty 

 

Hearing about those two deaths sounds like it was quite confronting for you, which is very understandable given their proximity to your work and your own passive suicidal ideation.

 

I hear that you don't feel that you're in immediate danger, though I am concerned as you note that feeling of it coming closer. Do you currently have a session booked in with your psychologist?

 

Do you have any other supports that have helped in the past?

 

As @Asgard shared, there are ways to come back from these dark periods, even if it doesn't seem possible to see that light when we're in the middle of it.
