    Except an internet stranger can’t send you to the grippy socks hospital if you say the wrong thing.

        Yes it is. Your therapist can absolutely put you in an emergency medical hold if you talk to them about thoughts of suicide. It’s happened to thousands, if not millions of people.

          Only if they think you’re an immediate threat to yourself or others.

          I talked about suicide a lot in therapy.
