I'd recommend calling the suicide hotline to get some emotional support, and better answers to your Q's. I don't know where you live ~ so it's a little tough for me to advise that you go to wherever.
I don't know national laws, but I'm pretty sure that all hospitals have to take a person who's suicidal. That doesn't mean that they have to keep you there though. They may be too full to keep you, and then send you to another hospital that has availability at that time. It's kind of tricky.
It may be determined that you would do best in a long-term residential halfway house, one that can hopefully help put you into a better state of mind. Or, maybe you just need a few days to a week of medication tweaks to get you feeling better. A lot of unknowns!
If you are seriously in need of assistance, please do call the number above. 24/7, they are always there waiting to help!  I hope that you get the answers that you're searching for and the help that you need. Very best wishes to you! |
Thank you Shez
I never thought that I would get to this low point in my life besides another time in the 90's when I tried to take my life. I am about to that point again, but not as severe. I am under so much emotional distress right now, more than I have been in so long. I feel that I am crumbing apart, nothing seems to work. Oh my gosh you can't imagine how many times I wanted to call that number you gave me but I read that they have the right to send an ambulance to pick me up even if I am not suicidal. I don't want that drama cause I will go into a full panic attack, but, I know that I need someone to talk to at this point. What do I say so that they do not send an ambulance?
to you. Thank you again.
