My therapist asked me if I was suicidal a few weeks ago and I told him the truth. I was not suicidal but I do have suicidal ideations and I told him that. I felt extremely shameful afterward but I knew that I had be honest with him because I trust that he is going to do what is best for me and offer me guidance. I know that I must have one person in my life who I can be honest with about my thoughts because if not, they can end up being too dangerous for me to deal with alone.

Best,
Rachel
