I'm too unwell

I need help. I'm so depressed. I can't keep my place clean or look after myself . I dont go out. I don't have friends. I don't have a life. I've started taking drugs to self medicate!! No I'm addicted and can't stop. I want someone to rescue me and look after me as though I was their small child or pet. I need to be looked after, comforted and taken care of. I can't cope any longer , I am very suicidal

Call 911 and tell them you need to be committed to a pysch ward. They'll send the police and an ambulance to take you to the hospital.

I actually feel very similar to this right now, other than the fact I do have a boyfriend (I particularly relate to feeling like a small child or pet). My partners have basically all needed to be parental figures towards me...I know it isn't the healthiest but I'm so dependent. I agree that you should probably admit yourself to a hospital. Your life and well being matters.

Hi Lucy. I feel like I need to be committed but I've tried before and they wouldn't take me. I guess because I'm not a danger to others, they won't waste their funding unfortunately

Hi pastel. Thanks for your post. I wish I had someone to look after me too but at the same time wish i was more independent

I'm not in the spot to comfort you and talk you out of this mood.

Whatever I can offer to you my advice is, each of us has crashed hard and rise up higher than any normal person out there. When life is treating you good, anticipate a crash thats gonna happen, and think of what you can do to endure it before it gets better again.

I was at one of my lowest point in my life when I transitioned from my study phase to intern phase. I don't know what life decided to give me, I just found myself stumbled across this forum during work, and listened to advice on coping. Shortly after, I came to hear about this spiritual master, Eckhart Tolle, which led me towards understanding my mind and making myself pay attention at my present moment.

What I learnt, is that whenever I observed and paid attention to my thoughts, they are unable to wander aimlessly and further accelerate my mood for the worse.

I can introduce 2 of his books, "A new Earth" and " Power of Now "

I have confidence you will live thru this torment, and to tell the tales, so that in the future you will be able to coax others whom are in the same situation you are in.

If you tell the hospital you are suicidal they HAVE to take you. That's the way it works.

"They wouldn't waste their funding unfortunately"

Ugh and then they wonder why people turn to "illegal" drugs



I'm not a fan of NHS hospitals but if you're suicidal you ABSOLUTELY have the right to inpatient treatment (but do they actually offer treatment )

You are NOT a "waste" of NHS resources... None of us are

Please go to the hospital. 💖

Are you doing better today?

No. I hate myself. I want to get better

You wanting to get better in itself is great. There has to be drive to do so.

As long as you have the hope to get better, it's okay to not be happy with yourself. Just realize that this is temporary and work towards smoother times ahead. It's hard and sometimes painful, but it can be done.
