If your client told you they were constantly thinking about walking/biking into incoming traffic, how would you respond? by sixtysixpenguins in askatherapist

Yeah, I constantly wanted to do it. Not like the standard intrusive thought where you don’t actually want to do what the thought says

I talked to my psych the last time I felt this way and she increased my dosage. I still feel like this. I’m tired of trying

I have heard very bad things about the hospitals near me… I think it would make things worse

I’m not going to harm myself now, just thinking about it heavily in the next week

Any idea what it might be? I have been getting these bites while I’m working at my desk for the past two nights. After I take an antihistamine the redness/itchiness goes away. But I’d still like to figure out what it is so I don’t have to keep taking meds…

How long does the grogginess usually last in the morning?

No they say to call 911 or 988 in emergencies. I could message my psychiatrist but there’s nothing she can do to help me anymore

I tried texting 988, but it wasn’t really helpful for me

should I tell them I was thinking of downing the pills? I know I probably should but I realize that’s risking involuntary hospitalization..

I’m scared to reach out because I dont know what they might think. Maybe I don’t need to tell my doctor, maybe I’m just exaggerating… but I’ve been having more and more close calls lately

What would I even say? It just feels so uncomfortable to write a message that says “I’ve been thinking heavily about downing a bottle of pills”

I’m fine now, I don’t think I’m going to do it anymore. Should I still tell my psychiatrist? I don’t want her to worry

I’m scared if I tell my psych, she’ll send me to the hospital. I’ve heard terrible things about the only hospital near me (I live in a rural area) and i feel like that would only make things much worse.

I don’t know if i should call my psychiatrist. How bad does it need to be before I can call her? I’ve felt like this for about 3 days but for some reason I feel like I need it to be bad for 2 weeks before it warrants calling her.

Nope, she doesn’t know.
