I talk about suicide when I'm not depressed. For me, having a suicide plan is a control issue. It makes sense to me. I have absolutely no intentions on acting on it, and I know that there are many, many safety steps to go through before getting to that action point. My psychologist and I recognize that, and while it is still not pleasant to discuss (which is probably good), the need is there and so my job is to keep her informed on how real the threat is. The more I hide it from her, and myself, the worse off my overall treatment will be. Does that mean she indulges me in coming up with 101 ways to kill myself...absolutely not. I hope that helps you.
