Random question

[(Anonymous)]

Suicide (mention?) TW, so it's in the next comment.

Re: Random question

[(Anonymous)]

Does "willing" myself to die in my sleep, as in thinking or saying things like "please may I not wake up tomorrow" before I fall asleep, and not actually doing anything else to make it actually happen, legally/psychiatrically count as a suicide attempt? I really, really want to avoid doing anything that will get me put in a hospital if I confess to having done it.

A bit of clarification

[(Anonymous)]

I don't expect such a thing to actually work; I just want to do it as sort of a comforting/cathartic thing.

Re: Random question

I'm not a doctor but I'm pretty sure that counts as passive suicidal ideation. It's a risk factor that people would take seriously, but it shouldn't count as an attempt.

Hospitalization allows the patient to be in a secure, supervised environment to prevent the suicidal ideation from turning into suicide attempts. In most cases, individuals have the freedom to choose which treatment they see fit for themselves. However, there are several circumstances in which individuals can be hospitalized involuntarily. These circumstances are:

If an individual poses danger to self or others
If an individual is unable to care for oneself
Hospitalization may also be treatment option if an individual:

Has access to lethal means (e.g., a firearm or a stockpile of pills)
Does not have social support or people to supervise them
Has a suicide plan
Has symptoms of a psychiatric disorder (e.g., psychosis, mania, etc.)

Okay. I...guess I won't do it then, I really don't want to get the particular kind of care that suicidal people get. I want to die, but I don't want to kill myself...I just want it to happen on its own.

I think you should reach out for help, but I get why you're worried, so maybe phrase it as you're struggling with depression and need help with that until you know you can trust the therapist.

Because you're definitely struggling with depression right now, but you don't have to tackle the subject of suicidal ideation.

I'm making assumptions about how you're feeling, but you can and should talk to someone about losing interest in things, struggling to feel positive emotions, any emotions, or struggling with negative emotions, or feeling like everything is too much or too dull.

Re: Random question

Ideation on its own generally is not enough to require hospitalization (IN MY EXPERIENCE) (I AM NOT A DOCTOR) (PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS AS MEDICAL ADVICE)

I strongly encourage you to talk to a therapist or other mental health professional that you feel you can trust

Re: Random question

It's not a suicide attempt, but more of a willingness not to live. You will not end up in a hospital by every regard I can think of by admitting this. By all means you should, as admitting you need help is the first step of getting it.
Trust me, both me and my family have both admitted to worse (two of my aunts, one who attempted suicide, the other suffering from a series of sudden onset conditions) and none of us have been committed to hospital. We live in Canada, but even when at one point I asked essentially to spend a week committed, they said that sort of treatment was specialized to those with a much higher risk.
It seems you do need help, and it's honestly good you're asking on here because you shouldn't keep whats troubling you buried. Don't be afraid of telling your doctor this either, because it does sound like you do have depression, and I know it's not fun living with that.
Also if you are legal age, unless you are a hazard to society or a particular hazard to yourself (multiple attempts, consistently, needing hospitalization) you can refuse being admitted.

Re: Random question

No. Only taking actual action counts as a suicide attempt. Wishing to die is suicidal ideation.

You should definitely talk to someone about it, though; call your local suicide hotline if you can't see or are uncomfortable seeing a therapist.

It's called passive suicidal ideation.
