It was very hard to hide it when I disappeared for 2 weeks in the psych. People thought I was killed. They also made me call my family so someone could watch me. Idk how you would explain away being gone that long

My therapist partially knows, but I only tell her what I can get away with (not trying to get 5150d)

Yes and no. Some people in my life know about my history. But I haven't really talked about it.

People know I have depression and mental health issues so it may not be too surprising when I do CTB but not a single soul knows about any of my past attempts or ideations

I am just wondering since no one has voted "Other" yet... what would that be? The only thing that comes to mind would be strangers
Is there even anything else besides that?

My parents and psychiatrist know about some of my past attempts, but nobody outside of SaSu knows that I am currently suicidal.

Oh yeah 😮 Thats a good answer
I havent thought about the police ... but then again who would tell them?? A priest I could probably tell, maybe... but with the popo I guess you would just get admitted to some kind of mental institute or something like that

Yeah I'm thinking that if the police knows, mental health services also knows

I mean by nature of me talking about being suicidal on here and not knowing any of you well enough personally to call you all my friends, that would be the "other", lol.

But yeah, I've told online friends and irl friends because I tend to only ever attract other mentally ill people and we sometimes confide in one another. I've probably told my mom in a fit of panic and disassociation, and I've alluded to it but never explicitly told a therapist "I plan to end my own life" because the one time I mentioned a med giving me the itch to SH again, she threatened to call the cops and 51-50 me. Not all pyschs or therapists are like that, but I'm not risking things anymore.

three people have since voted for "other"! no idea what they meant by it, since they didn't leave a comment explaining, but it's interesting to see nonetheless.

My family knows of my past suicidal ideation and of one of my previous attempts. There was an additional attempt many years ago that I managed to hide.

But as for current day I have not told them of my recent suicidal feelings or metal health struggles, nor do they seem to be aware. Over time I have gotten very good at masking it, and I'm really not sure if I should consider that fortunate or unfortunate.

I have always been far too open about my mental health struggles. Everyone knows about my most recent attempt, no one knows about my current ideation.

Nobody knows. The people who know me would be absolutely stunned if they knew I was on this forum.

These days I only tell my therapist, whom I see about once every month or so. I don't feel comfortable telling anyone else really. If I ever hint at suicidality I act like it's all the past for me. I remember when I was in university I told my girlfriend at the time and she really freaked out and started crying and all this. She did push me to go to therapy which I think was good but it made me a bit wary of disclosing from that point on.

Only a few of my online friends know. I am grateful that they've come to accept it, rather than treating me like something that needs to be fixed. Everyday I get to spend with them is a blessing, I just wish I had more time and wasn't a mentally ill fucking loser.
