How To Cope With Suicidal Voice

[braggle]

I will ask. The trouble I have is that my mental health team are very unwilling to talk about labels which on one hand is good so as not to get bogged down with a preconceived idea of what is a symptom of something. But on the other hand I believe that sometimes you need a labeled diagnosis to get the correct treatment.

Rant over... And back to the point I will definitely ask about diagnostic tests at my next appointment. Thank you

If I may, I'd inquire into why does that voice think that. And keep in mind you're not obligated to do anything someone tells you, regardless of who that someone is, especially if it's threatening your life and safety. A voice is more likely to be just calling for help by suggesting this, even though in a totally wrong way, than if you had a physical person suggesting that, but that still doesn't mean listening to it would be wise.
