Sadly i know sometimes professionals call the person they are trying to help, a time waster and tell them to go home (happened to me so i know it happens)
How are you now?

I read that therapists are supposed to treat people with chronic suicidality differently than those with non-chronic suicidality. The non-chronic version generally happens because of some specific life event. The patient is then placed in an institute that looks after them until they (fairly soon) realize that they do have reasons to live.
With chronic suicidality however this approach is not helpful. Placing the patient in-patient every time they express suicidal ideation would disrupt their life to a point where they no longer have a life to live, so to speak. So the therapist doesn't do that. I'm not sure how they would spot that the ideation changes and the intent becomes more focussed in someone with chronic suicidality. I suppose that is not easy to assess. Please stay safe. We need you. __________________  my life explained in two smileys
