Venting Silly questions professionals asked me

[heartinparadise]

"Have you been experiencing suicidal thoughts recently? How frequent are they?"

Huh.
I don't know.
How am I supposed to know?

That's the same as asking: do you blink? How many times do you blink in a day?

can you feel the speed at which you digest the food in your stomach? Provide your answer in millimetres per second

Do you breathe air? Is the sky blue, grass green, and earth round?

Bah, silly questions

Nope, they are not the same as those below and far from silly. They are more like - "do you cough? How often, approximately?"
Just typical medical question.

I don't know.

And that's also valid answer. You not knowing is fine. But keep in mind that it's not same for everyone. For me for example, they (suicidal thoughts i mean) are always there, in the back of my head. Like soft comforting veil. Sometimes, like every one or two weeks, they come forward and i start overanalyzing my exit bag modification, looking for other valid ctb methods to use instead or in conjunction with. It's kinda calming, knowing that when the time comes, i'll be well prepared.

Basically this. They're just doing their job. They're trying to determine how much of a danger you are to yourself.
