So yesterday I met with my therapist and she asked what I was doing this summer. I told her about my vacations and she asked if I would be doing anything else. Im not. I am going to stay at home doing nothing because I have no friends and no life. Last year I went to a outpatient program. I still have suicidal thoughts a-lot and panic attacks and I told her that me just being alone and isolating myself may cause me to have more suicidal thoughts. I told her that I am going to look up some outpatient facilities so I can go there to get more help. She said that she agreed and that she didn't think that I needed to go into a residential facility. But the thing is, my panic attacks come out of nowhere and I don't know how to cope with them and I am afraid that 1 day I may have really bad sucidal thoughts and I may end up doing something to try to end my life and go to the hospital. So basically I think that I am a threat to my self and that a residential treatment center might be best for me. And if I really am being honest, for the past couple of weeks I have thought about overdosing this summer just to end my life. I AM A THREAT TO MYSELF but my therapist doesn't see that. What do I do? Please leave me a reply on what I should do.

Going to the ER is one option if you feel you may be in immediate danger. If you see a psychiatrist for medication, that might be another person to contact. I don't know where you live. But sometimes cities or counties have crisis teams a person can call if they feel they are a danger to themselves. Another possibility might be contacting your local mental health association if there is one where you live & asking them for help. They may have volunteer mentors, or advocates, who could help you. The thing is, you don't want to wait until you're so downtrodden that you can't reach out for help. Now, while you still can, is the time to figure this out. If necessary, contact your therapist again. If all else fails, you can call 911 or whatever emergency services number serves your area. Please take care...

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