I feel I can never talk about my suicidal tendencies and self harm with my therapist. I had my kids taken away for 18months by the state for my mental illness and suicide attempts. Has this happened to anyone?
yep

I feel the exact same way about my therapist, it's tough being truthful when there could be consequences. I feel so bad for you and your kids though, that had to be SO tough for you and your children

I will never tell my therapist the truth about being suicidal bc she will just have me committed or something. I'm sorry about your kids.
I've had them back for 1year now I really hate how the state system stigmatizes mental health. I had to fight 18months to prove I was fit. Drug addicted/abusing parents get their kids back sooner than I did. It was completely unfair.
I'm so sorry to hear this, you were able to regain custody afterwards though? I'm glad to hear it

Mine ask today if i had suicidal though i didn't lie about that, but say i didn't have any plan or anything at home that is dangerous (which i do have and i just miss few components for an exit bag). Because i know that i could be hospitalized if they fear i could kill myself.
And i am really sorry to hear about your awful story, I can't imagine how horrible it was to have your child taken away from you and for so long.
Oh yeah for sure. I had a bad week last week, and I was really considering ctb, but I just didn't feel comfortable telling my psych. Sucks that we can't say that we're suicidal without them telling someone or putting you in the psych ward.

It's certainly risky. I worry about what will happen to me now that therapist knows the details of my suicide plan.

I'm living in nz, and because of biosecurity they are very strict on customs.
So unless I find someone that sell it under the table, it's a restricted to business or labs only :(
Exit bag is have a mask or a plastic bag on your head with an inert gas (helium or nitrogen for example) that is diffused inside. If you can deal with the bag on your head, it is painless and quick death, because your die from the lack of oxygen but your body to go in panick attack because you can still breath but just no oxygen.
You have few thread about it on the forum, It I'd just did a quick summary

Don't ever be honest with these people, the only thing they care about is their wallet & their license. I forgot about their vanity, that too.

May I ask what mental health situation got the kids removed? They don't take them for suicidal ideation, but likely would for suicidal intent. You can talk to therapists about suicide if you learn how to talk to them without saying the wrong things.
Initially I was reported to the state by my therapist, for my ideation, but of course they weren't taken away at that time. I had an attempt that landed me in the icu, and two other facilities within a couple weeks time.
How would you suggest I talk to therapists without saying the obvious?
i think I'm into the train idea too
