Alex,
I think the words 'threat' and 'promise' are both scary, and the CAT folks shouldn't have pressured you to use either of them.Maybe you could have said, "I don't know what to call it, but I'm feeling so unwell right now, and so horrible. I just have this feeling welling up in me that is pressuring me to do something awful to myself, and I don't know how to stop that feeling. I don't know if I can stop myself. I'm not making any threats, I'm just explaining this horrible feeling in me, and asking you for help to keep me here on this earth."
I hate that people put you on the spot with "is that a threat." what jerks!
