No one knows the extent of my mental illness. Not my doctor, not even you guys.
We are trained to be deceitful like this every time a metal health practitioner over reacts and recommends the crisis unit for someone who merely says the word "suicide".
We have to pretend like we don't have suicidal thoughts every hour of every day or else someone will try to commit us.
This is the state of mental health care.
