Especially if you consider self-harm, it is very important to be honest with your therapist. Even if it leads to an extended stay in a psych ward, that’s better than throwing your life away.
When my depression took over so hard that i was sitting in my room with a knife in my hand and pondering cutting open my wrists, instead i went directly to the psych ward and institutionalized myself for 3 months, until my medication and therapy made me stable enough to leave without danger. Without this step, i would probably not be here anymore and would have caused untold pain to my surroundings. It led to many happy memories in my life which i wouldn’t have experienced.
That’s why I said go voluntarily if you need to. It sucks, but it’s better than the alternative. I know psych wards have a bad rep, but i can assure you that it helped me when i was at my lowest point in my life.
Am I supposed to tell them I really really wanna kms right now?
Nah, they’d lock me up lmfao
Can’t even tell my mom cuz she’d get mad at me…
Any LLM would just spam the same “seek professional help” shit…
Like…
Venting on a random forum is the best catharisis I have…
lmfao

Having a record for involuntary commitment is gonna put me on top of ICE’s abduction list…
So yeah… officially, I’m not suicidal, I’m perfectly happy and healthy
