i met with a new tdoc last week. she seems very nice and workable but she said something that really made me wonder. is this good advice or bad advice:
I have been suicidal pretty much every day. I'm depressed down, on new meds, but my new tdoc suggests that i should hide all this from my husband and just say "i'm a little depressed". i was a little suprised by the advice but tried it out. It DIDNT work. He knew something was wrong with me. Even his mother who hasn't seen me in two years knew something was wrong. So I'm wondering if that advice really helps. Am I supposed to sit here and fake smile and pretend all is OK and totally hide what I'm thinking, or should I keep my feelings to myself so other people don't worry. I'm torn...

This is a form of psycology I use on myself all the time and I find it useful. I think a spouse would rather hear about a little depression than feel like they have to hide all sharp and pointy objects. As far as I'm concerned, you got good advice.
