Ever since my hospitalization I've been engaging a lot with suicide recovery both by lurking here and on reddit's pro-life suicide board. I've been spending a lot of time there posting blunt advice and toeing the line on outright advocation of suicide without being banned.
I feel like I'm doing this because I'm still angry both at how I was treated during hospitalization and at the empathy-focused approach to recovery, something that was absolutely useless to me in my circumstances. I'm not sure if this is a sustainable method of recovery in the long run; I think people could benefit from advice that isn't based on anything more than rote reflective listening but I don't know how to provide that given my own bitterness.
Has anybody else started from a position of anger? Were you able to transition out of it?
