Discussion Does your significant other know that you are suicidal?

[Untimely]

Wondering if it is even worth telling my SO

 

[LaVieEnRose]

No. My cat doesn't speak people.

Whether it is worth it depends on the relationship you have. Most likely you would just upset them and risk intervention.

That's what i'm concerned about I think. I try to hint things but i'm not sure if she knows

I don't even have a significant other lol

Unfortunately suicide generally has to be carried out in the shadows. It's very unfortunate but that's the reality.

all my exes knew i'm suicidal and have attempted multiple times. all they ever did was try to fix me because they only pitied me.

if you love them, really love them, i don't know if you should tell them, especially if you have plans and don't want intervention like someone above said.

if you have no active plans and wouldn't mind a little help in feeling better, telling them is a good idea in that case. who knows, they could even be struggling as well and was also too afraid to say anything.

Yes, my partner knows. I've declared many times in the past that, "When my baby girl goes, I go."

My baby girl crossed over the rainbow bridge almost a year ago. He knows I've been secretly planning my CTB.

He's a normie, and so he cannot wrap his head around it. His reactions have been all over the place, from ignoring my suicidal ideations, to being in denial that I'm quite serious about it, to strongly proposing that I go back to seeing my therapist, etc. etc. Other days he'd be quite angry and confrontational. Just a couple of days ago, he threatened to tell all my family about it. Today, he's been all sweet and gentle.

I just told them right now, and I kind of regret it. I just made them scared and now I'm worried they'll try to stop me. I also feel really guilty thinking about leaving them alone and it feels more real now that I know how they feel about it.

Yeah you pretty much described my worst case scenario. Also i'm not sure how much she could even help

 

[cicadafriend]

Yes. My biggest hesitation. I don't want to traumatize him or burden him.

My ex girlfriend knew but she always avoided the topic. She knew I don't like speaking on it either, plus she's a lot saner than me. I couldn't risk getting ratted out right before my attempts.
She also played a big part for covering me during one of my last attempts. My family really loved her even if they thought we were just best friends. I felt really guilty about involving her and I regret it. I don't think I'd ever tell her if I had to turn back in time.
