I've recently faced the fact I am passively suicidal. I don't want to hurt myself, but I want to go to sleep and never wake up. I've talked to my therapist and I might do a 72 hour hold if it comes to that.

How long have you been passively suicidal? Because if it's been decades, I doubt you can fix it just with 72 hours in a padded cell.

One thing to note is that therapists aren't fortune tellers. They can't see the future. If you force them to take a gamble, they might lean toward the safe side, accounting also for the potential things they don't know.

What do you think? How wide is the chasm between passive and active?
