Here -- you're anonymous. Why would you be "called in", especially in a foreign country. I believe its a necessary thing to talk about and I know its hard, but even with a psychiatrist who is not so stolid, I would be open about it.
If you're don't feel able to be open about it here, I can understand, but I do believe that there is an undertone of *trigger* on here, and talking about it does not mean that someone else will do something awful to themselves.
Here in the US, you can only be sent to a hospital if your state of suicidality is such that you have an absolute plan to do something immediately or if you actually go through the act and survive.
