This is a very interesting post. It's something I've often wondered myself.

In fact, one of the reasons I delayed seeking psychiatric/psychological treatment for so many years is that I had always been afraid that they would throw me in a psych ward and toss away the key if I so much as mentioned any thoughts of suicice. I found that this was not the case. I was even told by a p-doc that I would be surprised at how common suicidal thoughts/ideation actually is.

My question is this... what constitutes a 'plan'? I was asked this when I was assessed, but I'm not 100% sure what it means. If you've thought about how you would like to do it, is that a plan? Thanks.

Good luck all4themusic!
