told me it was hard to genuinely care about some one when they are suicidal.
Well, he's right. When the T has to worry about your safety and constantly trying to figure out which decisions he/she has to make on your behalf, while all this is because T cares, it removes the focus from therapy to mere safety.



It does sound demanding, doesn't it? At least you have a few weeks, and maybe in that time you or he will find something of the additional he wants for you. IDK your state of mind, so I (and you) have to rely upon the T to make those decisions. Remember, he's also being honest with you that for his own--and other patient's--self care, he can't be available as much as you may currently need.
