I currently go to a therapist twice a week, yet desoite the fact that I have been going since January of this year, I have never been able to bring up the fact that I have SI in the past and have currently gone back to my old habits. I recently told her that I was feeling very suicidal and even had a special bottle of pills waiting in my medicine cabinet for when I got the urge. She at first gave me the option of whether I wanted her to call my parents & put me in inpatient, or if I thought I could keep from harming my self she would stay quiet. Later that week she decided that since it had not gotten and better, she gave me no option as to whether she was going to call my parents and let them know ( since apparently shes legally obligated to do so even though Im 19). I know she only did this to keep my safe, but I feel betrayed on some levels, and feel that it has only complicated the issue. I am cutting more and more now, and every time I go I want to talk to her about it since NO ONE knows, but I am afraid that she will have to tell my parents or automatically commit me. Any advice as to whether she is obligated to do so or what I should do would be very helpful, Thanks!
