Ted,
I find this response troubling. Why do you think you would ever lose control of your ability to chose life or death? Why would your therapist think that? Even if your life really goes downhill, you will still have control over that choice.
I hope I'm not being meddlesomely argumentative today ... just have strong opinions on this kind of stuff.
hope you are feeling all right.
I give you my best,
lissa
