My kids don't understand my mental illness

@twinkie I remember spending Thanksgiving in the crisis center, and was still there for my wife's birthday on the 13th of December. I set a goal to be out before Christmas, and I made it, even though I still wasn't safe.

I've been in the hospital several times, and I felt very lonely when no one came to see me. It's hard.

Hearing from your therapist was great. Perhaps you can focus on your conversation over the next couple of days. You're there for You. Can you try to hold on to the things that are helping you? Take good care of yourself these few days.

Hi Jim, sitting here in the crisis center feeling suicidal and no one to talk to. Isnt that ironic. I just feel like I have no purpose or will to go on. Like I mean...what for. My kids dont want me in their lives, so that's gone. I just imagine lying here formulating a plan to kill myself between now and Christmas so my broken borderline heart wont hurt so much anymore. I need someone to care really care that I have these thoughts.
