I have a plan, of sorts. My therapist knows about it,and he knows what the triggers are that draw me to it. We also talk about what I should do when I'm triggered.
I don't think I'll ever be free of the impulses or thoughts. OCD maybe, or something else. I'm not sure. Fortunately, it's not a plan that would be particularly likely to be carried out on impulse. And I make sure I keep any lethal items out of my house, so that anything impulsive would be also be unlikely to be terribly effective.
I think it's an important level of trust to admit these things to your therapist, to let him into that place of deepest secrets.
