I start therapy next week. Should I be honest about my suicidal thoughts?

[Arcavian]

Tell em

Don't believe anyone telling you they're gonna send you to a psych ward

If you are actually attempting suicide or harming another or expressing explicitly that you want to harm yourself or someone else, then yes the therapist has an obligation to heed that.

But you are struggling with ideation. Meaning you're struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts but with no interest in attempting to do so. Which is not unusual for anyone. They'll get you on meds to suppress that and bring you to calm so that you're in the best state to begin the work of therapy. That's all. So yes tell him or her.

You definitely need to be honest and tell the truth. You need help right now and there is nothing wrong with that, don't worry about any cost etc. right, getting better and in a clearer headspace is the priority. Peace to you, you can do this.

 

[SupaDupaFresh]

Sounds like you need a psychiatrist, also you should so they could give you proper referral and treatment

I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with that, just know you're taking the correct steps to get better

This. Get on meds through a psych or your PCP if you are struggling with suicidal thoughts. Therapy alone won't necessary stop that.

Dudes in here and the next thread talking to a literal troll about their family tragedies with suicide

OP is a fukking loser who seeks attention on here 24/7. He’s not suicidal, he’s just an internet weirdo that is a p*ssy and closeted homosexual which is probably driving him to his suicide thoughts. Stop being a bytch and just do it

I don’t even post on here much anymore. No attention needed.

Why you so mad?

It helps.

Agreed. I’ll see what they recommend. I can’t keep living like this.

 

[Sad Bunny]

Yeah, if you know 100% for sure someone is being sincere with their issues that's one thing, especially if you and that person keep company offline.

But having something as serious as suicidal tendencies and you bring that shıt up to a bunch of anonymous posters on a message board, especially a board that isn't exactly teeming with intelligent or emotionally mature individuals? Especially after you're claiming that you have the funding / resources to seek help from a licensed professional?

Anyone who does that is either so stupid that they might as well go through with taking their own life and take their mental inferiority out of the gene pool, or they're simply begging for one of two things: trouble or attention.

Yall nikkas are so corny and fake.

“His suicidal thoughts are more real than sad bunny’s!!!!”

Stfu weirdo.

[Contrarian]

I hope you find peace and stability brother and not by way of a gun shot to the head.

Yes tell them everything. I suggest cognitive behavioral therapy with zero internet use for now on...
