General Does The Disclosure of Suicidal Thoughts Cause Needless Secondary Stress To Others?

AdamAnt,

Thinking about it, I had to come back and thank you: you just turned the "unspeakable" into what sounds like no-big-deal (in a good way).
Thanks :)

I don't tell my husband when things are really bad cause I don't want to put him thru that any more. He knows when I am struggling, but I figure he doesn't need to know the extent of it.

While I sit on the other side of the fence to you Iam when responding to this post.........I think NOT telling your husband is actually selfish and if I was him I would not be able to live with myself if I had not known you were suicidal, you did do something about your thoughts (let us pray not) and I could have done something to help.

I would want to know how badly you were struggling......we picked it up here so I don't think you are giving your husband enough credit nor are you being fair to him. I know I sound harsh but while you may think that suicide is the answer to your pain; what pain does it cause those who love you? Suicide is not just about your life so if you need help or you are struggling please reach out.....please!

JMO and I mean you no ill will but please think of your family....they want you around so they would want to help you or if nothing else, just be there for you.
