They don't need to know i cut or im suicidal .or deep dark secrets they should have stayed hidden i miss hiding when i was younger i hid from everyone i said nothing and i liked it.now i feel the need to speak up and i don't want to i want to hide . speaking hurts it gets you in trouble. I sometimes like to hide with my conversion disorder when my voice goes out and i cant communicate people leave you alone i just sometimes want to be left alone and not speak. And now i feel compelled to tell my psychiatrist things things that could wind me back in the hospital and i need to figure out a way to sit through a session and not mention anything about self harm or suicide .any advice is appreciated

i don't know what website was so unsupportive, but let me tell you, people on the Internet are trolls. they're not people who know you, what your going through, are completely ignorant of mental illness. feeling suicidal is always something you should talk to your psychiatrist about. they won't commit you unless your life is in danger. and if it is in danger, then that is what is best!

who are you going to trust with your life, an Internet troll or your medical professional?
Thanks for this!

You're compelled to tell your therapist things you normally wouldn't because you have the ear of someone who can help you.

As for being an "attention hog", I say to these people: What's wrong with needing attention? When we're hurting, we need attention to those injuries so they can heal, whether mental or physical. It's good to make sure we're telling the right people though; specifically your therapist, pdoc, loved ones, people here on PC... There are those out there that just don't care about anything but themselves, and they don't deserve your time.

Don't listen to them.
Thanks for this!

when you are talking to your therapist or doc its not attention seeking... its seeking help...
even if you were attention seeking you are doing it because you are hurting and need help to move forward...
there is nothing wrong with needing help... especially with things like mental illness...
alot of people don't understand it and will not be empathetic... don't listen to them...
becareful what websites you use / talk to others on because there are alot of people out there that don't care about you and would even try to entice you to harm yourself...
they make it about themselves when its not about them at all, its about you...

you are valuable and do have worth but its hard to see because of depression...

speak up about your situation... only by letting it out can we get help to come in...
your therapist wants to help... if you dont feel he or she does then need to get a new one...

You are at the end of your rope, and you can’t take it any much longer. You are in pain, and you are suffering, and you feel there is no hope. The first thing that you need to do is to seek the services of a professional counselor. As a published author of a managing fear book and as a layman, here are six reasons why suicide is not the solution to your problems.

1. Things Change Over Time
Regardless of your situation, things do not stay the same. You may feel very bad today, but it won’t last forever. Remember this fact: Regardless of your current situation, everything changes over time. This includes your current situation. Nothing remains the same forever.

2. There Are Always Other Options... Always
You may feel lost and confused, but the answers to your specific problems are out there. The key is that you have to find the answers. The answers to your problem will not come to you. As mentioned before, the first step in finding the solution to your problem is to seek help from a qualified professional.

3. You Can’t Predict The Future
You are fearful, confused and do not know where to turn. You think that there is no hope for you. When you are in this situation, remember the 99 percent rule. The 99 percent rule states that that no one can predict the future with 100 percent certainty. Even if the thing that you are afraid of does happen, there are circumstances and factors that you can’t predict which can be used to your advantage. For instance, you miss the deadline for a project you have been working on for the last few months.

Everything you feared is coming true. Suddenly, your boss comes to your office and tells you that the deadline is extended and that he forgot to tell you the day before. This unknown factor changes everything. We may be 99 percent correct in predicting the future, but all it takes is for that 1 percent to make a world of difference.

4. Focus On The Facts of Your Situation and Not Your Thoughts
When people are depressed they rely on their fearful, depressing, and negative thoughts. That is a huge mistake. Your fearful thoughts are exaggerated and are not based on reality. When you are depressed, focus on the facts of your current situation and not on what you think. Do not assume anything regarding your current situation. Seek help from a professional immediately.

5. Go To The Hospital Immediately When Its That Bad
If things are so bad that you are unable to function, drop everything and go to your local hospital or crisis center immediately. The people there will take care of your situation right away.

6. No Situation Is Hopeless
Your loved ones, friends, relatives, God, mental health counselors, priests, ministers, etc. are all good sources of help. They are all willing to help you and they can make a difference, but you must be willing to take advantage of this help. Regardless of your situation, take advantage of the help that is around you. Remember: Every problem has a solution. You just have to find it.
Why Suicide Is Not the Answer to Your Problems

You have to show the therapist your real feelings...if you want help.
Its hard...and you have to do it.....or you could end up killing yourself. Your family needs you....you deserve to be happy. Please be honest with your therapist.
