I don’t know if I’m truly in crisis or just experiencing an increase in intrusive suicidal/ self harm thoughts. I don’t know how to talk to my husband about it because I know it will upset him. I have everything prepared for my final exit right done to method, date and suicide not written. Still, part of me doesn’t feel like I need help. Sorry for the rambling, just really confused. I don’t know if I should reach out to my doctor for help, wait it out and see what happens or just follow through with my plan.

Hi. You definitely don’t need to apologize. I’ve been there. The thoughts can pile up.
You wrote that you have intrusive thoughts, a plan, the note, and the date, it’s really time to speak with someone… your husband, doctor, a crisis line (US: 1-800-273-TALK), or someone who can help you. Reaching seems like the right thing to do.

I agree reach out and let all your feelings out .
Dont be sorry . 🙂
Absolutely agree with the advice above. It may feel strange to do, but calling the suicide hotline can really help, they’re non-judge mental and can really help gain perspective on your situation. I’d do that before contacting your doctor, and see if it helps you out any. Hugs.
You should definitely talk to someone. I don’t see what you would have to lose by doing so. I’ve never called a hotline myself, but I know some people have found it very helpful.
