Hi mair,
I'll think about your reply. Right now, my brain is whirling with thoughts of philosophy and will and whether this world is worth living in and the obligation to continue living and pain and loneliness. And pain and pain and pain.
But it's really bugging me that the words "suicidal ideation" have been playing over and over in my head for days and I have a strong suspicion I'm mispronouncing them. I did an internet dictionary search and found a pronunciation guide for ideate, but not ideation. Moreover, I don't quite trust my eyes and would rather hear the pronunciation. But I'd settle for making sure it's a long i as opposed to a short one.
However, I want to make clear that I have an agreement with my therapist re. suicide and that I feel an obligation to my family not to undertake it lightly.
I just want to be able to discuss it with my therapist without worrying about pronunciation.
