This time out I'm probably asking the equivalent of looking at your own personal boogie man. Identifying your symptoms. Not an easy thing to do when you are trying to deal with them.
It is important to know what you are dealing with because you can waste a lot of time pacifying a symptom when you could be dealing with the larger problem. (There are exceptions to this, don't take it as gospel.)
If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text “START” to 741-741.
