Should you try to avoid suicidal thoughts?

@Bunniekins

Maybe one day.

Thank you @Former-Member

I told a doctor about it in August last year that I had thoughts. Something I will never do again as it had a detrimental negative effect on my care in the hospital. I had a lot happen, am on workers comp and fighting harassment/bullying and discrimination and then my femur broke (still not healing). I was told and that I was not able to get rehabilitation due to my mental health, all because I said that I wish I was dead. I was a private patient and rejected for rehabilitation of an injury. Never again will I speak out loud, I was also ignored when I needed pain medication, and not offered any home help when I left the government hospital. I had to present to my local hospital to ED to get to talk to an OT and get access to home help, they were shocked that the other hospital did not arrange it for me, considering that they knew I live alone and was non-weight-bearing on crutches. All the other patients in the hospital got to talk to OT, physio was organised, home help was organised, they got to speak to the pharmacy. No one spoke to me, I was just told to go home.

Sorry to hear that @Ratchet

Yes I have heard some doctors are a little risk averse, but isn't it their job??
