Re: why cant i beat this :(
Maybe not @outlander, but that probably depends on what you want and believe will be best for you, as recovery is such an individual thing. There may be some crossover between both.
I guess a relapse prevention plan/wellness plan/recovery plan thingy may be more of a longer term thing and would perhaps try to address things before they get to the point where a suicide prevention plan is actioned. That's my vague kind of understanding anyway.
My plan has 'triggers' 'early warning signs' and 'things I can do/strategies' sections. I would think there are all kinds of ways to write one. It's been handy for me to have, though again that's my own experience at the moment and might not be something everyone finds useful.
It might be worth talking to your psych or counsellor about making one of you think it could help you, but even just listing the things you can do to help yourself if you feel yourself slipping, may be a good idea. That way it is there to turn to and remind you of what you can do.
