I told a BIG one the last time I saw him. I said that I would be okay to go home and not be hospitalized, that I had no plan to harm myself, and that I would contact him or the crisis line if I did start to make a plan. I had a plan when I told him those things. I went home and took a massive OD and ended up in a coma. Of course he now knows that I lied. I will see him Monday for the first time since.
