I've been seeing a counsellor over some work-related issues and a couple of other things and today she told me she noticed that I had indicated that I am sometimes having thoughts of ending my life on the intake form.

She was concerned, of course and enquired further about my thoughts and feelings on the matter. Needless to say, I was rather guarded and careful with my responses, because the last thing I want is to be forcibly taken to hospital,
locked up, and pumped full of drugs I'd rather not take.

But the truth of the matter is, I do have at least a half-baked idea of how I would top myself and getting the means to do it wouldn't take long. I just haven't reached the point yet where my desire to die overrides my basic self-preservation instinct.

So yeah, I can understand why people would tend to be ultra-careful about what they tell their counsellors and doctors on the subject.
