Thanks for sharing so much and I’m sorry to hear it’s been a battle. Also, anytime your thoughts even consider a possibility of a future of self harm, you should be actively sourcing professional counselling. Just talk to them about exactly that thought you had filling out a life insurance policy, please.
I just wanted to reply to this small point quoted. Not to dismiss your feelings, but I don’t believe it’s bleak to live in the moment. That’s real. Today is literally the only thing that actually exists. Cliche return: tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.
I’ve had to work hard at erasing 99% of my future expectations for myself and my kid. I was spending unsustainable amounts of time and stress worrying about the future, and I did so for a long time.
