Struggling with Suicidal Thoughts

Ya my doctor is on maternity leave and the doctor covering for her does not care

if you've been struggling with suicidal thoughts or ideation, a psych hold may not be the worst idea. It's temporary, but so are the suicidal thoughts, and if you're in a crisis you should definitely at least talk to someone else. there's a text line, text HELP to 741-741 and you'll be matched with someone who can talk to you and tell you what steps you can take for long-term help. It's free and completely confidential, they won't tell anyone a single thing you say to them just like your therapist won't

Honey it's better to go to the er yourself and get help. You won't necessarily be put on a psych hold. Idk how your state does it but in texas it seems if you go voluntarily you're not on hold.

I definitely understand your thought. So sorry you’re struggling. Do you have a friend that has similar thoughts and won’t freak out if you talk about it? I have one friend that understands that I talk to when it’s bad. We’re both “hard wired” to think dark and it helps to not feel ashamed for thinking like that. It’s a constant struggle to try to get out of that space but we help each other out rather than bring each other down. He usually lets me get it out and then distracts me to get me out of my head or help me find solutions to what’s triggering it. One thing we say to each other is that if one of us does something to harm ourselves it gives the other permission to do the same. And that is not happening… helps put it in perspective though I may feel hopeless I am of value even if I don’t feel that for myself in the moment. You matter and your fight matters. Life is ups and downs so it won’t always be this bad.

Are you on meds for depression?
