What is your question exactly?
You have to tread very cautiously when talking about suicide with a therapist, they can and will get you locked up for a while.

Be prepared to spend some time in a padded cell for that remark.
Really depends on the state laws though. Most states will let them lock you up if you are a threat to yourself or society. At least 24-48 hours.
Not a fun time my friend.

what the point in therapy if you can't talk about suicide?
I can talk about suicide with my therapist or psychiatrist and I've never been locked up, but i live in the UK where they won't lock me up so they can take my medical insurance money and kick me out when the insurance runs out.
You only get locked up here if it's something severe, like if you're really talking about doing it, or you're really losing you grip on reality but even then our system is based on care in the community.

I'm in the U.S. and they CAN lock you up if you are deemed a threat to yourself or society.........but only for 48 hours.

Where I am they are legally obligated to break confidentiality if you tell them you seriously plan on harming yourself or others, or if you tell them about child abuse you committed or witnessed. I don't know if they'd lock you up... but I imagine that if you were serious (or they thought you were serious) about wanting to kill yourself they'd probably do something to try and prevent it, which might mean temporary institutionalization, or maybe something else, depending on how things work in your area.

Hehe, I get it.
If you tell the therapist you're going to suicide by cop, and he calls the cops to put you away he could potentially be killing you.

just think about it. if you had been talking with your shrink for a while about killing yourself and then you go off and do it, when your family starts wondering what the hell happened theyre going to go straight to your psychiatrist first and the blame would be put on them for not doing anything.
in the u.s. though they take this idea extremely far and frequently lock up and mistreat teenagers for the slightest mention of suicide. they even watch you pee.

If you go to the hospital and tell them you are feeling suicidal they will lock you up for the night and give you a warm place to sleep I know a couple homeless people that have done that
