Suicide talk may be just that. The decider is if you are an immediate risk or a serious risk in the next 24 hours. I talk about suicide with my T and what I will do, but I don't say I am going to do it when I leave or that I am going to do it the next day as I don't have that plan. If I did, he knows I would not even tell him. By talking about it, we can look at what is it all about. I think that if I got so physcially incapacitated that I could not manage my own life, then I would head for the North Woods in the winter and go off into the wilderness and sit down under a tree in the snow and freezing temps under my blanket and got to sleep.
What scares me is sometimes I have had an urge to jump in front of the Metra train. Once I had to turn my back to the train as it rolled into the station, and I threw up. This was when I was seeing the therapist/pdoc who recommended the ECT, not with my curren T.
Point is that it is a good idea to talk about suicide rather than to act on it.
