I hadn't had any "problems" since. I haven't been re-admitted or been on any medication ever since. So, as far as my family is concerned, I have my "act together". Now that I am truly struggling with suicidality, it's difficult to even consider opening up about it. Because to them it would be "same old, same old". When in reality, I am having a real problem that I never really truly had before.
When people say, "if you play with fire you will end up burned"... they ain't just whistlin' Dixie.

Could you say the same thing to them that you just told me? Exactly like that, too.
The truth is, there's no right way to open up about this. And the only way to do it, is to just do it.
No one will know how they'll respond, not even them, until it happens.
If this is something you need and feel will help you through this hell, don't allow uncertainty stop you.
