> I feel extremely guilty for putting my loved ones through such a selfish act. This is the emotion that prevents me from trying again, despite some pretty bad suicidal ideation at times.
I would say that the guilt over hurting my family so much is probably the main reason I have never attempted. Also, believe it or not, I think that my "agreements" with therapists have actually made me really think twice at times, because I really don't like to go back on my word.
>It really was out-patient 'day hospital' that seemed to make a difference, the daily group and individual sessions that structured my day.
I've given some thought to that type of thing, but like Penny said, I haven't had success in finding something around here. Plus, there is the issue of my job. I wish that they had evening and/or weekend intensive programs. It's like with these daytime things, they assume that someone needing that must not be capable of working. It's too disruptive to my life. I shouldn't have to give up my life in order to do that. Don't you think that if maintaining "normalcy" in one's life is possible, they should allow for that?
