In reply to re being asked if suicidal, posted by Fi on January 10, 2004, at 12:23:16
Thats a really tricky question ... my GP always asks it but its very hard to be honest with him because the communication between us is super bad ... he doesn't seem to understand nuances in what I say.
Thus, he asks if I'm suicidal. I reply yes. Then he always asks how as in what method / plan. Then I always say that i don't have one because I'm afraid thad admitting it will land me in the hospital against my will.
I also find it sort of silly the whole "plan" question because yes I DO know how I would do it ... I've given some thoughts a long time ago and YES I've opted for a method but knowing how doesn't mean that I WILL do it now or whenever. I just can't "remove" that knowledge from my head ... unfortunately.
Its hard to be honest with someone who can take actions againts your will ... even if you want the help.
