My ts would all see me if I attempted suicide. They might call the police if they thought the threat was intense, but they wouldn't drop me for that. All are in private practice. I have shared pretty intense feelings about wanting to die, and have admitted having a plan. T1 would ask me to hold off for 24 hours at a time, and I was seeing him daily, with texts and calls over the weekend. I saw my pdoc cry about someone who had suicided and that helped me to stay safe.

Why would a t drop you if you were in that much pain? Would it help to ask your t if they would drop you for suicidal/self harming thoughts?

I think it is part of the job to help people who are tormented to the point of self injury.
