Big Questions: There is plenty to read online on suicidality & how to help yourself & someone has prescribed meds for you.But without meeting with a good therapist to evaluate your urges,teach you skills for managing them & determine whether medication needs to be re-evaluated, you are isolated with a dangerous problem. Do this work in therapy &you may end up never having to cope with these urges any more.
