How Do You Talk To Your T About Suicidal Ideation?

[Truthful_Whispers]

Autopsy: The Last Hours Of Robin Williams is a good documentary that explains many of the inner workings of a depressed and suicidal mind. It shows on Reelz.

I'm so sorry you went through that response @SheilaKathy , surely that sounds to me like kicking someone down when they are at their worst & need the most care & kindness. :(

I actually think you have a lot of self-awareness, because impulsivity aside, recognizing (in advance) what could be unbearable situations enables you to work on safe-guarding yourself from ending up breaking down & following through. I know it doesn't feel like that but I think that awareness helps (versus blocking it out entirely). :hug: 's to you.

Well I didn't intend it but I asked if I could get a # for a Crisis Plan. Not sure if they will but it's still a Big step for me.

I think what's hard too, is no one wants to reveal stuff they may not have to. And also if someone is told that info & doesn't ask or takes action without any restraint or listening, OMG that'd be awful. :(

I was therapist shopping this past fall... 10 million bazillion meet & greets ugh... And that's one of the questions I posed to most of them:

Where do you draw the line between ideation & impulse, and how do you prefer to handle those conversations?

The answers varied pretty wildly.
