I'm the Doctor, here to help!
Maya? Um so for a while I have been feeling pretty down. But recently for a few reasons that i won't go in to detail about, things have been wayyy better. I am feeling happier than I have in months. But Glee triggered me. And I have come to a realization: I don't just get triggered to harm myself, I get triggered to kill myself. And often, I don't even need a trigger. I will just absent mindedly think of the things around me killing me with my help. I just realized, I am suicidal.

Hello! I’m not sure exactly what you want for me to say in response to this, but I thank you very much for sending it to me anyways. Hopefully being able to fully realize the extent to which you’re triggered will help you realize the importance of dealing with the way that you’re feeling and whatever’s causing you to feel that way.

While labeling yourself isn’t a necessary thing and can often be a very negative one, it sounds like what you’re applying to yourself is just a logical conclusion. It’s a very good skill to be able to look at a situation and at yourself logically and in a straightforward way and make your conclusions that way.

Hopefully you’ll be able to keep that point of view even when you’ve been triggered, to remind you not only of all of the things that are negative in your life that would lead you to this place, but also to the positive ones that have made you stay for so long.

I’m sorry that Glee triggered you, but happy that you’ve been doing better in the past few months. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. <3
