I've been pretty depressed lately, and have suicidal thoughts. Should I go to the hospital?

Are you scared that you will do it? That you can't control yourself? If so, you probably should. My heart goes out to you. I very intimately know the pain that accompanies that.

I believe that if you have thought about how you're going to go through with the suicide, and have made a note, then yes I believe you should seek going to the hospital and going from there. They will help you through it with the hospital social worker and that social worker will check in with a facility to get you into that way you can be safe from your own thoughts.

Stay in touch and best of luck.
