I told my shrink i wanted to die and she said it's selfish

She said think of those you'll leave behind, how would they feel.

Isn't it selfish of them to expect me to suffer so they don't have to?

Jeez, I mean surely a therapist shouldn't say that

@SW-User It was like I was being guilt tripped into not doing it.

@SW-User Agreed. Kind of a shit move to make a suicidal person feel guilty.

@canusernamebemyusername I'm going to ask to change therapists

@Abstractminded Good idea. I'd turn in what they said to the higher ups as well. That kind of advice could get someone killed.

@SW-User if someone is suicidal they’re supposed to involuntarily confine them so they don’t actually do it
