My wife wants in. She’s afraid all the time I’m going to kill myself. She’s right. I don’t know how to let her in. I’m a prisoner of myself. I want to be free. Let me out.

Your wife wants in. She wants to be in a much closer relationship with you? Sorry sometimes I don’t understand.
She told me that she’s worried all the time about me that I am going to kill myself. She does not know how to help me because I won’t “let her in”, meaning I won’t open up about how fucked up I am.
My wife did the same thing. My guess is, if you did open up to her, she would soon find herself at a loss to render helpful guidance and observations, all the while caring very deeply about you.
A short time after I failed to shuffle off this mortal coil, my wife got me to open up and was baffled by what she heard. She is intelligent and caring but not trained or experienced in mental health. After about four months of frustration in trying to “reason” with me she presented me with a short list of four therapists. One was a keeper.
I’m glad you found a good therapist. I want to let her in but I don’t know how. I have been a loner for several years, slowly withdrawing myself from family and friends.
I’ve been going to a therapist for 3 years now. I recently changed to an actual psychiatrist..he’s changed my meds and stuff, so far it’s not helping anything.
Try your best, it might feel less isolating for you.
It’s a blessing to have someone that cares. I can see that you cherish it.
