[quote=Anonymous]I get where you're coming from. I was severely depressed for years before getting help, and one of my coping mechanisms was thinking about how I COULD kill myself if the pain ever became too great. I never came close to actually doing it, and knew there was little chance that I would. The thing I see from my current, mentally healthy, vantage point, is that living like that was not necessary. The thoughts of killing myself was a clear indicator that I needed help to feel emotionally good, or at least stable. I never reported these thoughts to the psychiatrist I consulted because I figured he would hear "thoughts of suicide" and assume that there was an actual threat to my life. There were enough symptoms of severe clinical depression outside of those thoughts that the omission didn't affect my diagnosis or treatment. Good luck, and please get those meds adjusted because you deserve to be happy and healthy.[/quote]
