Op I see where you’re coming from but also there are suicidal people who have suicidal ideation but don’t actually intend to kill themselves anytime soon. Like that is very much so a thing.

I joke about it to cope because people who knows me knows I won’t…

So true, we all just get worried I guess but that makes sense

when the inherent risk is the abrupt end of someone’s life, i don’t think we can be too cautious

Honestly the precaution can backfire. I’ve dealt with passive ideation for a while. Having to spend 30 minutes parsing my history and making new action plans whenever I see a different health professional is a lot. It incentivizes lying to avoid the hassle, especially since it’s something I’ve already been treated for.
