If I tell my therapist I'm going to hang myself...

Question

that can't do anything, right? Like they can't put me in a hospital?

Answer 1

Yes! They can and probably put you in a hospital if you are deemed a hazard to yourself or others.

Answer 2

They can and deffently will. The desire to harm one's self is considered a mental illness in many ways. It would fall into depression in most cases. Extreme depression will land you in a recovery center.

In any case, if you were planning on saying that, i reccomend not hanging yourself.

Answer 3

That;s what did to me and trust me you DO NOT WANT TO BE IN A HOSPITAL!

Answer 4

Yes they can put you in a hospital if they beleive you have intentions to hurt yourself or somebody else. Hang yourself without telling your therapist. If you tell her/him then he/she can have you detained to a Mental Institution.

Answer 5

     Yes, they can do something. It doesn't matter your age if you make a suicide threat they can force you into a hospital. If you are considered an immediate threat to yourself or someone else they can force you into a hospital.

     But dude, seriously don't hang yourself. You have no idea how much better things can get. Life really can be sucky. I'm not saying life's great, I know it's not. Life seriously isn't sucky 100 percent of the time though. You can still experience really amazing things, please don't give up them yet. No matter what situation you're in, you do opportunities and the ability to improve your situation. Nothing is worth ending your life.Think of the people that love you, think of what you'd do to them. They'd feel guilty and traumatized and depressed themselves after that maybe forever. Maybe you don't think you have anyone that loves you but I think you'd be surprised. Maybe you just need a little longer, a chance to meet someone who will love and appreciate you and make thing seem more worth while. Your problems really don't have to be forever, suicide IS forever. Theres no going back after that. Why don't you go to this website and find the suicide hotline for your area http://suicidehotlines.com/. If you really feel like you're gloing to kill yourself at least call someone and talk about it first maybe they'll be able to help you think of the situation in a different way. I've had to call the before myself. Sometimes it's cool just to have somebody to listen, and they can give pretty good advice too. Good luck.

Answer 6

if your gonna do it, DO IT u don't just talk, u just made a mistake by telling us....now u just gotta do it...idiot....

Answer 7

Don't kill yourself you have a lot to live for.  

Answer 8

i think they can but i'm not sure

Answer 9

Do not threaten people with suicide. If you want someone to talk to you and help you with your problems, you simply need to ask.

Or, for most, if you just wanted someone to feel sorry for you, than simply ask. Lots of people will. There are forums where you can go and discuss your depression with other people and they will listen and talk to you. Most of them will share their stories with you, as well.

Wanting pity isn't a bad thing. Sometimes you just get tired of hurting alone, and it'd be nice if someone would hurt with you for a change.

Answer 10

of course they will and tip lifes betta than death

Answer 11

well the textbook and legal answer is yes, they are required to tell. But I guess it depends on the relationship you have with your therapist and how seriously they take you? But I wouldn't say it if I were you. Were you planning on telling them that?!?

Answer 12

they are just gonna talk you out of it til you are okay and if you dont get better i guess they will call authorities!

Answer 13

Therapist can give advise and counselling is the best way for it.

Everyone have a tendency for suicide, but fear and fear of God distroying their tendency.

You have to change your mood. Suicide is not a solution for anything.

Face the life with courage.

Be happy and don't be panic.

All the best.

Answer 14

As a licensed behavioral health professional, your therapist has a legal obligation to ensure your personal safety.  Saying that you are sad and you think about hanging yourself is not the same thing as saying that there is a noose in your room and you are going to use it today.  If you are making suicidal threats, count on going into the hospital.
