I've never really felt safe enough to discuss such a thing as "crisis plan" with a mental health professional. I've never even come close to actually needing to be inpatient, unless it were the result of outside medications. So it's an issue I don't feel safe broaching, because I don't feel like most mental health people want to accept that the other guy, the one who threatened me with it, was just plain narrow-minded. The sense I got from him was that I was different, I didn't do things the way he wanted or expected, therefore I was a danger - even though I was just a kid in black clothes who didn't want to talk to certain people.
I figured doctors would believe him over me, like everyone else did. He was very good at making people sound way worse than they were without ever saying something that could be proved untrue. I was a depressed kid with some minor struggles with self-harm, but to listen to him I was paranoid delusional psychotic and liable to jump on the train tracks at any moment.
I'm too wary of bringing up a crisis plan or anything like it because it might give the wrong idea to a treating professional. After all it's not like they really believe you that someone else in the profession could have put the "suicidal" label on someone for no reason, or for spurious reasons.
