Re: when is it time for hospital
I've been a number of times and half have been really horrible, half have been pretty helpful.
Can I ask why you are thinking hospital? Have you talked to your doctor about it?
What are your pros/cons about going in?
And lastly, I'm sorry and I hope you feel better soon cause if you're considering hospital you must be feeling pretty bad. *hugs*

Re: when is it time for hospital
For me, I knew it was time for hospital when I felt completely overwhelmed and nothing I did could distract me from the intense urge to SH and I prepared a suicide note and had a plan to do it. If you think it's time I would say go. Stay safe @outlander ❤

Re: when is it time for hospital
I wanted to go last year because I didn't "feel safe",when I get distressed and severely depressed with severe SC thoughts.However I have now realised it's hopeless as I would go and feel ridiculous for the waste of resources on me and through experiences "help" makes you 20 times worse.Not to mention that I went into hospital in March for a three hour iron infusion and got a sore bum from the bed and couldn't wait to leave.lol! Most of all I have no faith anyone or their so called qualifications and have been nothing but humiliated by the counseling experience.Today I had one of my bad days where I'm distressed and question why I'm hanging onto a life that most times doesn't exist or is worth saving.I would have to travel hour and a quarter for a hospital as living in a small town,the gossip and my paranoia with privacy would finish me off

Re: when is it time for hospital
hi @STORMGRL101@Former-Member
yes unfortunateley it has gotten pretty bad
my mother is still int he dark about how bad it really is and i dont want to tell her.
the reason im thinking it as i dont really know any other options at the moment
i cant control my SH and its like an addiction
My suicide thoughts are gettin stronger and harder to ignore and i have been at the point where seriously thinking about making a plan and acting on it. even while i havent had a plan ideas have been swirling around
all i see now is SH and ways to do it and ways to cope.
i was going through my strategies today as to how to solve these urges and how to resist them
as iw as going through i could think of many ways i could self harm instead of focussing at the task at hand. everywhere i look theres always something i can find
my urges coem off so strong now that it actually hurts me, it makes me sweat and muscles cramp up and all i can think is i need to release something to help myself
i rung a helpline as i was havign these overwhelming thoughts and stonrg SH urges and do you know what they said to me? contact another helpline
i ahve spoken to my gp and both her, my nurse, and my psychiatrist and previous psychologist said i should be in hospital or something but i cant seem to do it
i had a chance to go to somewhere like what do they call it like a retreat or something
but i turned it down because im not insured and i cant afford it otherwise
even if i wasnt to go into hospital i think i need to do something

Re: when is it time for hospital
Yes it's the strong SC thoughts that I feared and at times I feel at peace when I give into the thought of suicide,which my psychologist was concerned about.At times I hear a voice telling me I won't win.Its these concerns that scare you.

Re: when is it time for hospital
can you ask a family or friend to call the hospital for you to see if they can help you just for tonight?

Re: when is it time for hospital
@outlander It sounds like hospital might be a good idea to get that bit of extra support right now to help deal with your intense urges. Do you have a local mh community team you could call who can advise you on what to do? Or just present at ed. its ok to need that bit of extra support when things become too much. Thinking of you ❤hugs
