> The important thing is whether you are thinking of ways to commit suicide. Make sure to make it clear to the doctor that you are not thinking of ways to commit suicide but that you feel so bad you wish you weren't alive. There is a big difference. The red flag for them is when you say you are thinking of ways to do it.
Hi BB,
I know, after reading your post you're right, but for me, I thought suicidal ideation was thinking of how I'd do it.....that's what I was going through on the Zoloft. The difference was, unless it was an impulsive act, I wouldn't do it because I thought of how my kids would be hurt by it.
Bonnie, if you can tell him, maybe you could share what you're thinking with your pdoc. ....that way he'll know where you're coming from. If it's not an active plan, tell him - then he knows you're not in immediate danger.
