when you’re not out yet and your mother keeps talking about getting married to a guy and having a lot of children because you’re the only daughter… Oh.

sometimes I watch this when things get really hard 

acne

cuts

body hair in places you’re not used to it being???

fat rolls/curves

how much/how little they’re eating

how skinny they are/what bones they can see because of how skinny they are

don’t do it

like that basically fucking ensures that your client will not trust you at all and will never confide in you entirely as they should

and yeah ok their job is to make sure your issues are resolved and that you dont get hurt but hospitalising them based on a COMMON SYMPTOM OF DEPRESSION is not helping anyone

if anything the threat of “any suicidal feelings will be reported” will only make your client distrust you and lie to cover their true feelings up

which is the exact OPPOSITE of what they need

idk talking freely about abuse and suicidal feelings is actually really fucking helpful and cleansing if the person you’re talking to understands, which psychiatrists/counsellors should

but you cant do that when theyre required to report every instance of those feelings and get you hospitalised or some shit

if someone claims they PLAN to commits suicide soon, and have a date and method planned out, then by all means report it. help that person

but if someone says “Yes, i do experience suicidal feelings and am able to think of ways to end my life”, that doesn’t! necessarily! mean! they! are! planning! to! commit! suicide!!!!

No-one can HELP having those intrusive thoughts! And it doesn’t mean someone is going to act on those thoughts! and you are NOT FUCKING HELPING by reporting their most sensitive, private feelings to everyone!! fucking hell

please reblog this if you are gay/lesbian/bi/pan/asexual/etc. and have not been through a trauma
