Risky behaviour or suicide ideation?

[NameandAddressWitheld56]

I ride a mountain bike everywhere and when my mood is really low I have the urge to ride dangerously so I have an accident. I want to tell my gp about these thoughts as I know rationally this is worrying. But do I say I have suicide ideation (I don't want to die I just want to hurt myself so I can have a rest from life and how I'm feeling) or is this classed as 'risky behaviour' . Is this how suicide ideation starts? Should I be worried about these thoughts and how I'm feeling or is it normal? TIA

Bump, anyone!

I wouldn’t worry about how it’s classed. Just tell them that’s how you feel.

Tell the GP what your thoughts are - you don't need to describe it as suicidal ideation or risky behaviour - they will make an assessment. I have had these type of intrusive thoughts and without strategies they can escalate. So please do tell your GP what the thoughts are and that they distress you. for you, hope things get easier soon

Thanks for replying

I think that’s called passive ideation. But that also sounds like intrusive thoughts too.

I get this when I"m depressed, and was advised by the psychiatrist to stop what I was doing (the behaviour that could have been a problem) when I felt like that. I don't think it really matters whether it's called risky behaviour, or suicidal ideation or, whatever - it just indicates you're not in a very good place.
Tell your GP so that you can get some help.
