This is a very common concern in therapy, but I thought I would get your thoughts.
How do you balance being honest enough with your therapist that they will be able to help you in a meaningful way and being vague enough that they don't take you to hospital even though you don't need to or don't want to?
That is a horrible sentence, but I hope you get the idea. How bad does it have to be to warrant involuntary admission?
In response to: Being too honest about suicidal thoughts?
