So a somewhat weird question... I'm nowadays ok with answering pretty honestly the more general questions about suicidal thoughts, and confirming I have a planned method, and even that I've done all the necessary preparations. However when a doctor asks WHAT my plan is, I've so far not wanted to discuss it due to worrying about what an answer could lead to. The obvious option of course would be to ask them directly why exactly they ask the question, and see if that maybe would make a difference for me. Unfortunately an appointment is a pretty difficult situation for me so so far I haven't been able to do that.


I thought somebody here must obviously have experience with describing a planned method for a doctor. Were there any consequences if you answered? Or do they just want a better grasp on how serious you're being about suicide? Did you get any explanation as to why they want to know?


Generally I believe it's going to be beneficial to you to be as honest as you can with any doctor etc. But I can't help being a bit paranoid and uncomfortable here. The reason I'm mostly worried is that I'm afraid they'll stop prescribing some of the meds for me, since my plan largely depends on the collection of meds that I've built over a long period of time. However all the different meds can also be a little helpful when I do actually take them so I don't want to loose the prescriptions.
