So to make me even more of an odd duck I sometimes get suicidal when I get hypomanic. So within the day I can be euphoric and suicidal at the same time. I had looked up strategies on how to handle suicidology because I feel odd talking to my therapist. It was on my YouTube page when my session began with my therapist. I had closed out Of the internet When my phone session began but somehow I had hit a button on my iPad and it opened up my Internet and the page on how to handle suicidal thoughts started playing. So then I had to sit there and talk for like half the session with my therapist about feeling suicidal which I haven’t been doing I really didn’t want to do that and it’s just kind of weird the way that happened. I just don’t want to be locked up again and I am embarrassed because I have been hiding it from her.

Sorry this feeling is happening.

Are you sure you're not mixed (dysphoric)? Suicidal thoughts typically do not come with hypomania or mania, unless they're psychosis related (e.g., someone thinks they're Jesus and will get reincarnated).

I am leaning more towards mixed state here, but obviously I could be wrong. I know you say you're embarrassed and don't want to be locked up, but it sounds like she didn't pull the IP trigger. So whatever she was thinking, she didn't think you were a danger to yourself or others (unless you hid things from her). But if you are getting psychosis with suicidal thoughts (for example), that is something you should tell your therapist ASAP. I always tell mine when I am experiencing hallucinations because she wants to help and make sure things don't get worse.

I get suicidal when hypomania. It seems more dangerous then when depressed. Stay safe.

No psychosis like that. God, be like I don’t want her, you take her. The closest I get to psychosis Is seeing things sometimes and that’s usually when my anxiety is ramped up.
