I had an appointment with my psychologist a few days ago and I left the appointment feeling confused. During the appointment I brought up that two weeks ago I had attempted suicide. I was really uncomfortable bringing it up as it’s not a very nice thing to talk about especially since I’m not the best at opening up/being vulnerable with people. However, I ‘plucked up the courage’ and told her. I don’t really know what I expected from it - some support I guess but her reaction made me very confused. She didn’t really respond much at all. She didn’t ask me any questions. She didn’t seem like she cared very much or was concerned. I’m not sure … maybe she didn’t want me to feel even more uncomfortable by discussing it in depth. I’m very confused by her lack of response. Is this what psychologists normally do in relation to this topic? I just thought she’d talk with me about it, ask some questions and see if I was still feeling suicidal/having intrusive thoughts. I don’t know … it made me feel pretty shit. Usually she’s amazing so I feel as if I’ve done something wrong. Maybe she got the gist from mu body language that I was really uncomfortable talking about it so she didn’t want to push it further. Anyway … I’m just after some advice on it. Thanks.
