With my pdoc, she asked if I had any thoughts, I said yes with no intention of acting on them, she said ok and moved on. She also knows I'm seeing the T across the hallway, so she knows I'm talking about things with him.

With my t, I'm pretty open with him. One time I wasn't and he called the County Crisis team to get a second opinion. Either that or I was going to the ER for an evaluation. I wouldn't tell him the plans I had in my head. Wasn't going to act on anything, but I was too scared to tell him anything more than that. He wanted to make sure I was really ok, so he contacted the crisis team. Since then, I'm much more open & honest about my ideations, he can get a much more realistic view of how I'm really doing. He asks if I'm safe before I leave and if I'll contact someone if needed. I trust him not to overreact as I thought he did before. I know why he called the crisis team, but at the time, I was ticked. I knew I was okay, the lady evaluating me released me pretty quickly, but it took quite awhile to build that trust back with him. Really freaked me out and made it pretty hard to be open and honest with him about my ideations. We're all better, which is good because ideations come up almost weekly and I feel safe talking to him about it now.

(sorry that I rambled)
