Is there a friend that can come get you?
Can you call 911 if you need to go inpatient?

Oh widgets..... There is truly no emoticon to express how I feel about this and you right now. This is not about me, obviously, but I am a complete wreck right now too.. to the point you are describing, sorry to say, and I don't know what to do either. What can be said, but that even though we are an ocean apart physically, nonetheless, can we try to hold on together? Please? Please hold me, I will hold you.
Is there a way you can get to a hospital? Anyone you can call? Your friend that you have been staying with? Please?
I don't know what else to say that can be put into words...

I am new to this site -as of tonight. I can tell you, you are NOT alone.
It's great that you wrote this down.

First of all, I would NOT recommend calling 911/ police and ask them for help. In this situation they may ask a lot of questions you are in no condition to answer. The last thing you need is a legal issue right now. You don't want an alcohol related charge in this situation.

Is there someone you know-anyone you trust-who you can call/email to drive you home?

Go to sleep FIRST-somewhere safe. Then, deal with the rest tomorrow.
Again,
~Get someone safe to pick you up.
~Go somewhere safe and get to sleep NOW!
~Write back tomorrow.

GOOD LUCK. You'll be OK!

I called my crisis team. They said as I sounded coherent on the phone they were going to go and speak to people who NEED help!
A guy came up to me and I won't go into detail but him and his 3 friends proper freaked me out.
I don't wanna call now cause I feel that becuz I am not slurring words they don't want to worry!

Miss Laura, i am home now... not feeling well at all, i have hit my head and taken enough ibuprofen i think i will sleep.
I called my crisis team and because i wasn't REALLY DRUNK they seemed to not want to know, i called 99 and they said they were on their way cause of the weird guys in the car park, then a social worked called and asked where i was, i said i was 5 mins away from home, they said, "shall we call off the police?" what was i supposed to say? i said "yes tell them not to look for me," i cant demand help.

Following this thread and glad you are sleeping. Maybe it's not you that didn't handle this situation right. Was always taught not to ignore suicidal people...someone goofed but I hope and pray that you know you are not alone. We care. Can you post and let us know how you are doing when you wake up? Hopefully you will not be feeling suicidal.

We are here because we care.

I'm so sorry to hear you landed up in this situation. And that when you reached out, you were brushed off.
Please lay off the alcohol going forward; it will just make you more depressed.
I am so glad you are at home and in bed. You need to speak to your therapist when you get up. And tell him/her about the ibuprofen too; if you've taken too much, the hospital will definitely be the right place. If I was there with you, I'd be taking you to the hospital right now! And I have a friend in London... so I can mobalize someone.
Please check in with us when you wake up.

I know all about feeling so low. You've done the right thing by getting yourself to bed. I know it may seem lonely right now, but this phase will pass, and you will look back and realise that your thoughts were irrational. It's hard to understand that at the time when the pain is too much.

I'm so glad that there were so many people online to help you through this difficult time - Well done to everyone!

Widgets, I'm here if you want to PM and chat. We all really care for you xxx

Don't be sorry, you need help and we wish we could do more than just write. The crisis team should have helped you more...

How are you today, Widget? I see your mood is lonely...I'm glad to see you're online, though. Good place to be. Will it tide you over 'til Tuesday? And about telling others things, that's what this place is for, and that's what your care worker is for--why we have this instead of spilling to the people we live with daily, hourly, moment by moment.
((((hugs))))

Please try be as open and honest as you can with your care worker. I know it's hard to open up; but they won't judge you - rather just try and help you.
Good to see you've been online, and I hope your mood gets better soon. We're here to offer as much support as we can
