Thanks for your kind words. I'm not presently considering it, it's just an informational question. But thanks for caring.

The reason I'd think you wouldn't report it to your therapist would be a fear of finding yourself hospitalized against your will.

It seems to be a catch-22 situation. Discussing it with a therapist could definitely be a huge help. But reporting those thoughts, regardless of what your actual committment level to it might be, only to find yourself forced into a hospital could be enough to keep people from ever bringing it up to their therapist.

I understand a teacher having that responsibility with a juvenile (and would demand nothing less), but for an adult, on their own, it seems there might be a little more room for grey area.
