this post was sandwiched on my dash between two people’s medical gofundmes and i want to cry
being told to stop apologizing so much is literally the worst thing because the first thing you think of as a reply to that is “oh I’m sorry I say I’m sorry so much” and then the person yells at you like “STOP IT” and you just kinda don’t know what to do or say next so you stand there and cry

when the doctor asks you if you’re feeling suicidal right now
in my experience, it depends on the doctor. but they all wanna and have to make sure that you’re not an immediate danger to yourself. so you gotta distance yourself from it. so yeah, expressing certain thoughts can lead to that. ofc getting the right help is extremely important but there should also be some trust based decision making imho
