Help Should I tell my psychiatrist about my suicidal thoughts?

[kittyangelwings]

I hate depression. It's about to kill me. I really want to get better. I want to be a normal person. I don't have any friends. I don't go to school. I don't leave house... I can't even make friends. I really want to get rid of depression. If I tell my psychiatrist about my suicidal thoughts, will he help me?

just ask them for their reporting obligations first, then feel free to tell them stuff.

Absolutely, it wouldn't hurt to try if you have nothing else you can think of. If you can, trust them and let them decide what's best which could be treatment or a facility. You'll more than likely be taken into a crisis center, facility, or something like that if they think you're severe enough. Which is totally okay! I know you hear a lot of horror stories, but it honestly was nice for me, I enjoyed it and made friends. I know it's hard, but go in and try to stay as positive as you can, it's all there to help you.

There's no " help". Their definition of help is medication that will make you worse. The only medication that are semi safe are old school meds(Xanax, klonpins, Valiums. They don't give you side effects. Makes sure you elaborate " thoughts " because they will forcefully admit you into a hospital.
