  • Hello Guest,

    Another update, OFCOM has reached out directly. We have made the decision to make all content unavailable in the UK for the time being. People from the UK will still be allowed to register, but content that violates the Online Safety Bill will not be viewable to the public. This officially puts us in compliance with the Onlien Safety Bill.

    We would highly recommend that all users from the UK get some sort of VPN, and you should petition your lawmakers to let them know how you feel about this piece of draconian legislation.

We can't know really, I guess that goes without saying.

I feel like the fact that the attempt was a year ago might mean that they won't do something like 'recommend' you for hospitalization. It sounds from the post that it may help you greatly and that you have support nearby. If you think your psychiatrist is a caring person, maybe try it. If the most they do is tell your parents, maybe that would be good. Honesty with the people nearby who can and want to help you is a good idea. Without knowing more of your life situation which could change my mind, I'd say try it.

That sounds like a tricky question if u ask me, but since it was last year I think it is pretty safe to say that she won't sing u up for a psych ward or anything of the kind, still you would benefit long term by telling them about it, telling everything to your psychiatrist is the best way to ensure that u will get the treatment you need
I would say that the benefits greatly outweight any risks, you should talk to them about it

Bad idea, you will get detained for sure. In my country the therapist have to get you in, they will get in jail and get his license removed if they dont do it. and I never heard anyone ever say "that's a good idea"

Yeah I was involuntarily committed for a couple months. It kinda had no effect long term I don't think, but at the time it helped I think. But I know there are some places that are not good and they might medicate in a way that is damaging.

They will probably ask why your mentioning this now and whether your still feeling suicidal currently and if you admit to this, you will put your carers under alert and might have to told to see them more frequently. If you want more care or different drugs prescribed then mention it to them. If you want your feelings to be understood better probably talk more about the things that are bothering you currently rather then dig up old things that are not relevant anymore.

As long as you do not tell them that you are planning to hurt/end yourself in the very near future, then a reasonable professional would not see a reason for resorting to involuntary hospitalisation.

I have told therapists in the past about prior suicide attempts. They did not try to hospitalize me because (1) I was speaking of the past, (2) I'd expressed remorse for my past behavior, and (3) they did not deem me an imminent threat to myself or other people.

I've also never had a therapist go behind my back and divulge what I'd confided in them to my parents, significant others, or anyone else. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's not allowed, except in cases where the therapist considers the client an immediate risk to themselves or someone else.

Why are you concerned that your therapist might tell your parents what you say?

(I realize other countries likely have varying rules/laws surrounding therapy. I live in the US, so the things I've said are applicable to said country.)

I think you should tell them. There is very little possibility of you getting detained or something close to that. It is ultimately your decision though, and you know your psychiatrist and the situation in your location better than any of us.

So, I would recommend thinking it through before taking any sort of action.

Wish you the best.
