Do you ever feel like your T is dismissive of your suicidal thoughts? Sometimes I feel like my T doesn’t believe me because I get these thoughts often. Sometimes I want to just go through with it to prove her wrong. I know that is crazy but that is how I feel.

talk to your pdoc about your thoughts. Tell em that your T is not listening to you. Ask for a telephone conference/consult or what ever it is when the pdoc calls the T to talk about the patient.
That will get her attention.
you run the risk of being hospitalized if you try hard enough. Is that what you want? or IOP.

I am sorry that you are having these intrusive thoughts what do you want from her?

I am sorry you are feeling she is dismissive. If you felt she was taking you more seriously, what do you think she would do? Maybe you could try discussing it with her?

While I did not feel dismissed from my pdoc, I felt that maybe he did not understand the severity of my situation when I was in a mixed episode because I felt unstable and unsafe with myself. I won't go into too much detail because I do not want to say anything triggering, but there were pretty much nonstop thoughts that were dangerous to be having. One time after a very bad weekend he said if I ever got in that state again to call 911, but overall he never really mentioned more intensive treatment and that made me question if I was really that bad off. I never really showed up at his office a complete mess or anything, so maybe I just seemed rational and together to him? I am not sure.

I think it is me feeling self conscious like I am crying wolf when I talk about it. So my twisted brain feels like I have to do something to show her I am serious. She has asked me before if I want her to hospitalize me. So she does probably take me seriously but my mind tells me she doesn’t.

Maybe you should look into finding a new T that will actually HEAR what your saying.

Sorry your hurting , please stay safe

I agree with Christina go on the T hunt again; I have had four so far three have been gems and one basically told me I had nothing wrong with me. I have personally found men to be a lot more understanding since the last two of mine have been males; both are understanding of everything and have a lot of empathy for what I am dealing with.

So much so that I’ve been specifically asked not to bring them up.

So sorry your deepest needs are being dismissed. I agree that you should seek another T and immediately find a way to stay safe in the meantime.

I'm with the group in the get a new T camp. I think having an association between thoughts of your T and suicide is a big red flag. It doesn't sound like she is helping you so what is the point of even having a T?
