Hi. I have spent the last 9 months with a young therapist. For almost every single session I've broken down crying. It got so bad that I was just embarrassed. I would go through a box of tissues and not even be able to talk coherently. Fast forward and I go to the ER with suicidal ideation a couple weeks ago. My pdoc, therapist, and the psych ward I'm in are all a part of the same hospital. Anyway, my pdoc was all what are you doing here?? Granted I see him every 3 months. My question is, I got an older therapist thank God, would it be a good idea or high maintenance to ask her can she read red flags, does she mention anything but suicide/homicide to my pdoc, does she have experience recognizing mania & depression. I just felt like the whole inpatient debacle could have been avoided. I was put on an excellent med for ptsd and feel much better. And prior to the ER I had said things in therapy like: I feel responsible for my brothers death, I don't deserve to be happy, this is my cross to bear, my parents lost the good child and I'm the bad child. So imo there were some serious indicaters.
