I wasn't exactly sure where to post this, I thought it fit most with depression because that is my biggest issue but the board specifically said not to post anything related to suicide so I'm posting here.
I'm wondering what kind of experiences other people had with going to the ER for plans to commit suicide? I have had suicidal thoughts for most of my life (childhood PTSD) but recently things have been getting so stressful that I have started planning what I would do to actually commit suicide. I already removed any guns from my house, generally I do want to get help and stop myself from committing suicide. It's just that sometimes when it gets really bad that part is hard to remember.
My question is to anyone who has actually gone to the ER for suicide, did you actually get help? Or will they basically just lock me in a room until I tell them I won't do it? If you don't think the ER is the best treatment I can get what would you suggest?
I don't have insurance.
Thank you.
