I don't want to have to tell someone

Lounge
1

I’ve been feeling increasingly bad for the past few days, and today I started getting suicidal thoughts.
I know the first step is to tell someone, I usually tell my friend.
The problem is, when I tell him, he takes me to the psych ward or encourages me to call them.
My dad is visiting this weekend, and I don’t want to be locked up in a psych ward for that. I really miss him and we have plans.

Do I have to tell him? I do plan to tell him I feel bad, I just hope he doesn’t ask how bad I feel.
This will pass, right?

Have you thought about how you’d do it?

3

Not really… The though of swallowing a bunch of pills have crossed my mind.

4

Do you have a plan? Or is just a general I want to not be here kind of suicidal feeling?

5

Mostly the latter.

6

Have you tried to kill yourself before? Was it impulsive or planned?

Then it’s important to be honest about it. When there’s a plan it’s usually time for the psych ward to keep you from hurting yourself. You are worthy of being on this earth. You are a good person and there are people who love you. Take care of yourself

No I’ve never tried. I’ve made plan before, but I’ve never gotten as far as executing them. I’ve usually had myself admitted when it got to making plans

Good. Hopefully you’re still able to recognize those signs in yourself.

How many days until your dad gets there?

@Pikasaur, is there a nurse or social worker you can talk to about this feeling?

Please, stay strong. You are loved and you are important.

:heart:

Maybe this time talk to your father. Not when he first gets there though. Enjoy visiting with him and enjoy your plans. Somewhere during his visit bring up how you’re feeling and why. See what his insights and thoughts are. Remember, this too shall pass!

My dad gets here on saturday.

@LilyoftheValley aww dang, that wasn’t the answer I was looking for. But you’re right.

I just don’t want to burden anyone.

@Montezuma Thank you. I’ve messaged a nurse earlier today, but she didn’t reply. My social worker is coming by tomorrow

I think if you keep checking in with the nurse, check in with us, and BE HONEST WITH EVERYONE about likely you are too act on these feelings, you’re probably okay to push through until your dad gets there. But you have to really be honest with yourself and not risk it if you don’t feel safe.

It’s much worse on others for you to kill yourself than to go to the hospital for a little while.
