Is anyone considering CTBing because of grief? Or more specifically, guilt and regret caused by this grievance?
I lost my ex partner in March, and yesterday was his inquest. He was the love of my life and my soulmate, but I treated him awfully, especially nearing the end of our relationship. His death was concluded as an accidental drug overdose (a combination of opiates, benzos, pregablin and others). I honestly feel like if I treated him better I could have saved him. Life feels so bleak and pointless without him here - even though we broke up we were together for 4 1/2 years, he was my first partner and I always felt like we'd find our way back to each other. But we both suffered majorly with our mental health and that made things toxic, especially on my side. It doesn't help that his family blame me to an extent for his death, which to be honest I kind of understand.
But yeah, ever since it happened part of me is terrified of dying suddenly and the other part sees it as the only way to be reunited with him and stop this pain - it changes frequently. I am 22 and my partner was 25.
