I have had a blip and I self harmed Fri night. Today (Sat) I have been feeling very unsafe. Within myself and in general. I wasn't safe crossing roads today. I'm now home alone and I'm scared I'm going to self harm again. None of my friends are avaliable to chat. I spoke to a volunteer counsellor they said they could put me in touch with a mental health worker but I'm scared they will section me. Yesterday (Fri) I cried so much. Now I feel numb. But equally want to cry. I'm in bed as it's my safety place. Trying to keep my mind off of things.

I can't they are all off for the weekend. The next thing to them is the Crisis line. But I'm scared I'll be made to go to the hospital or something like that I can't have that happen to me.

Can you contact your prescriber on Monday? It sounds to me like a med review would be helpful.

My bed is my safe place too. I'm sorry your pdoc's office doesn't have an after hours service. Please call a helpline if you are seriously- or maybe even not so seriously- thinking of self harm again .

Miss Laura,
You are in crisis and as much as I share your distaste for inpatient treatment, it's a necessary evil sometimes unless you intend to waste your life in your bed. It's the best thing to help you stabilize.

I've been 5 times myself and am currently in step down outpatient treatment. It is helping me tremendously.

The shame of going in would kill me. I am a very private person irl. So going into the hospital is a no. Sorry you feel strongly about the hospital but here the hospital is a bad option. I know many people who have had to go in and it destroyed them. Hospital is not an option I'm afraid

I feel for you but just because the dude down the block had a bad experience has nothing to do with you. I stand by my feeling that you are in crisis based on your own assessment of your situation.

Feeling today was a good day. Its after 9pm on Sun and I feel I've managed today well. With minimum thoughts of self harming. I think I'm going to be ok. Thanks for the concerns. If I last tonight without acting on things then I'm fine. But if I feel the need to talk to mental health team ill call at 9am tomorrow

You should tell them what's been going on with you.
