If you tell your doctor that sometimes you think about killing yourself will he lock you up?

That depends: Having suicidal thoughts doesn't automatically mean you will be admitted. But if you have a suicide plan (s), a means to carry it out, the urge to act on it and have little in the way of support or you have other major risk factors - admission is sometimes needed for the person's safety.
