What do you do when you arent feeling safe but you dont want to go to the hospital and helplines arent working? Also what do you do when distractions and all of that stuff isnt working either?

Hi @Eden1919,
Hope you managed to get some rest last night. How are you feeling?
Are you seeing your psychologist today?

Re: Safety
@CherryBomb I only got 2 hours sleep last night. I did see my psychologist and I breifly mentioned how suicidal I am but we didnt go into detail as we were trying to work on my OCD. I am trying i really am but I feel terrible and so so exhausted. I do not feel good. and i dont believe anything will help.

Re: Safety
@Eden1919 it does sound very exhausting. Not having enough sleep can make things feel even worse. Tread lightly today, don't expect much from yourself. Get back to basics - rest, and eat well, and chat on here if you like.
It seems odd that your psych did not go into depth about you feeling suicidal. Did they discuss a plan with you?

Re: Safety
It's not your fault @Eden1919, they could have probed more. Not that I am blaming them either.
When are you seeing them next? Perhaps you write down your concerns and then give to them next time.
What have you got planned for this afternoon? Shall we make a plan together up until dinner? If you don't feel like it, faking it until you make can work.

Re: Safety
Let's start with getting you through the night.
Here are some suggestions. You can tell me which of these would work best for you tonight - remember, this about faking it until you make. Which means even if you don't feel like they're going to work, it's worth doing them anyway. Ok, so here a list:
- Watch your favorite show
- Journal thoughts down that you might like to give your psychologist next week.
- Go for a walk
- Hang out on Forums
Do you have any other suggestions @Eden1919?
