No longer suicidal but don't know how I feel

A couple of weeks ago I was actively suicidal. I was nearly sectioned but my psychiatrist agreed to let me stay at home with my husband looking after me and my psychiatrist checking on me regularly. Since then, a lot of discussions with my husband and with my psychiatrist (including some with them together) have meant that the thoughts are less active now and I'm not in any imminent danger. I've just been started on some new meds which I hope will kick in soon but, although I'm not suicidal, I still feel just as, if not more, depressed and I really regret that I didn't act on my urges before and that I told my psychiatrist that I was feeling suicidal and thus him having to stop me. I am seeing him tomorrow and will discuss it with him but I was wondering whether anyone could relate? I just feel trapped now in a miserable existence that I can't escape.

Not being suicidal now means that you have improved. You will improve again from how you feel now. It's important to keep moving on toward being better. Keep going abd trying.
