OK, I'd just like to reiterate that I will not ever do it!!! EVER!
I just want to know how most people react. I've had a few doctors ask before, and I said, no because I wasn't suicidal. Actually, the idea of the question horried me because I just couldn't really imagine truely hurting oneself.
The doctors at the practice at home have never asked me. They aren't too thorough! Once I asked my PA there a question about whether he believed antidepressants helped people. His reply was that he's had people who were about to shoot themselves in the head have been saved.
He said it very casually too, so apparently he's heard the thought many times before. My response was "whoaaaa, ok I'm nowhere near that point (I wasn't), but that's good to know."
