Okay.. I keep having these suicidal thoughts, I keep thinking that the future is hopeless and that I should just end it. That my family doesn't really love me and that I'm a burden. It's like there's this demon or something inside my head. I feel like something is putting all these self-harming thoughts in my head.
Here's my question, should I be hospitalized? I'm quite afraid of such places because I have heard nothing but bad about them. But I am honestly afraid of myself at this time. |

Hey there. You are not alone. I've been where you are now. I do not hesitate to get help...why? I let the medical experts determine how to treat my state of mind. There are good hospitals and bad ones. How's your insurance?
It really does sound like you are in what I call "the deep hole" emotionally. It's dark and cold and scarey down there isn't it? I'll be checking on this post. I sure do hope that you get some help and fast. Keep posting so we know you are okay. Sending you cyber hugs!

liesaresecurity being hospitalized saved my life. If you decide not to go to the hospital please have someone stay with you and let him or her know how you've been feeling.

I've been in the hospital 4 times. I really don't have anything negative to say about them. It helped me alot and I haven't been back for 4 years. I'll be praying for you.

If you think you are going to hurt yourself or someone else, then go to the hospital immediately.

I have been in 5 times and each time was a positive experience for me. The first time I was terrified, but after a day or so i settled in and realized that I was way safer in than out.
If you really feel you will be a danger to yourself, you should go to the ER or call your therapist if you have one, or your p-doc or someone who can advise you. |

I'm still feeling pretty much the same as when I posted the message... Thanks everyone. I guess I'll see if I can make it until after the holidays and if I still feel the same, I'm going. Thank you all again.

Please don't put your health on the back-burner due to the holidays. If you feel you cannot cope, please go to the ER. I've been to hospital twice, and it really wasn't bad. Plus you don't have to make any decisions, nor do you have any responsibilities - you really get to relax, chat to a T and a pdoc, and get meds sorted to help you.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
