Some people can sympathize and are shocked and sad to hear how seriously another considered suicide.

My ex-hub was not understanding of my lifelong major depression ans self-hate. Not at all. His realization led to our divorce.

My current bf, however, was much more sympathetic. He came and visited me in the hospital. His perspective was thankfully a lot more supportive.

Point is, it's a little early to see how your bf will judge you. Hopefully, he'll be supportive and kind, but also see to it that you are getting the help that you need. It can be a tricky position for a significant other to be in at times. That's a good reason to take suicidal ideation off your list of Do's. If SI is still strong, you still need serious help.

Gentle hugs to you...
