Might go inpatient

How do I know if I need to go inpatient for SI? I've just been having a really hard time lately. I feel like my life has steadily been falling apart, and the last straw came yesterday when the guy I was dating broke up with me. I had sui thoughts only for awhile, not really anymore, and they were only thoughts - nothing serious. I just feel like I need a break though. Do you think it sounds like I should go? I'm 18 so it would be voluntary.

If you are questioning yourself it's likely that you should go. I have been able to avoid the ER a couple of times by going to stay with my parents. BUT i FOLLOWED UP WITH T AND PDOC.

Do you have somewhere to go where you think you can be safe and that you know they will take you in if you need it?

I live with my parents because I'm still in high school, so that wouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for your advice. I am going to call my therapist tomorrow to see if I can get it. I might think about switching therapists too.

Thanks for letting me know that you are somewhere safe. Good luck with the therapist tomorrow

If you are not at immediate risk your therapist really probably is best. They might be able to get you some extra support while things are hard.

If things become bad though and you feel that you may really hurt yourself then please do go to the ER though.

Stay safe
