Yeah, it's hard for people who have never had serious mental health issues to get it. I've had that conversation too, more or less. And I've argued with therapists who tell me that I need to tell people about my problems. Because, how does it help when you have someone out there with a clue about your distress, but no understanding of it?
But, we understand here. At least . . . we understand some similar flavor of it. You can tell us.
Don't worry about that guy. He's probably just never been suicidal, and doesn't know what it means to really be unable to get yourself together and to feel the fear of that. If he understood, I'm sure he'd have supported your decision. *I* think you're doing the right thing, and I hope that your hospital program is really helpful.
