Zip,
I don't know what you tell your shrink. My feelings have been following the same path over the past few years. The problem though is that if you just say you're tired of life that sounds like the type of every day complaint that many people can work out for themselves. Somewhere between that feeling and actively wanting to die I think you cross a line into an illness that you can't manage yourself. I think thats the reason that question is a part of all the diagnostic lists. And if you aren't honest about that your shrink doesn't really know that her treatment has failed so far.

I share your feeling about being hospitalized but I don't think it's that easy to commit someone involuntarily these days. Not for just wishing to be dead. There are just too many people who feel that way.

Jane
