You have to be honest with your psychiatrist about everything in order to make sure you get the best care possible. Its hard to admit suicidal thinking but its the only way to get the help and to be the happiest you that you can be.

I agree with broken, if you aren't being completely honest, then you aren't getting the most out of your therapy and you won't get better. Why spend money to see someone to help you get better when you'll just lie half the time?

If you have suicidal plans in your head, then yes, your safety is of the utmost concern and needs to be taken care of. That means going to a safe place where you won't be tempted to enact those plans. Suicide is never the answer, it only creates more pain and even is taking a huge cost out of your family's wallet.

Just because you don't like the psych ward is not a reason to not go there. It's an excuse, and a way to avoid getting much needed help. I understand the allure suicide might have. Escaping all your earthly woes is very tempting. But you have to resist it. Not telling the truth is giving into those dark temptations and leads you on a dangerous downward path.

and even is taking a huge cost out of your family's wallet

What??? I don't understand. Are you saying that it costs more money if a person dies by suicide than from some other reason?

Yeah, it does. Life insurance companies won't cover for a death by suicide. It's not considered an accident thus, they won't cover it. And even if you don't have life insurance, your selfishly expecting your family to pay for funerary expenses just because you didn't want to (or felt like you couldn't) handle your problems.

Not to mention how devastated and guilt ridden they would feel over your death. It is more burdensome to them to leave them feeling guilty and responsible for your death, than to simply ask for the help you need and get said help.

Im not expecting my family to do anything i don't need no big fancy funeral in fact my mom will most likely cremate me she said if i die by suicide not that expensive. my family will grieve me and move on people die by suicide everyday and for most families it is hard but they deal with it . besides suicide is not selfish wanting someone to suffer through a depression equivalent to the pain of cancer that meds wont help because you don't know how to let go is selfish

Uh...maybe you haven't ever seen the utter devastation a suicide can bring to those around you, but I have. Trust me. It's the most selfish action a person can take. If you truly are planning to take your own life you NEED to tell your therapist. No ands ifs or buts about it.

Suicide is never the answer. NEVER.
