Hi @IndigoLantern, welcome to the TC! 🙂 Sorry to hear of your suicidal thoughts, these voices in our heads can be terribly deceiving, and even louder when on or WDing from certain drugs. I'm sure you'll receive plenty of support here. Btw, I really like your username...kind of like the green lantern lol Best wishes on a gentle taper 🙏
