Not doing good

Struggling today, primarily with my depression and suicidal thoughts. Don’t see much reason to carry on anymore. Unintentional self-harming aswell. Tired of this fight, just want it all to end, and simultaneously don’t want to end it. Can’t really explain. I think I need serious help, don’t know if my counselor in the am will be enough or if I need to go and be committed…

I’m sorry you’re feeling so depressed. Do you think you can be safe until morning?

If you’re really struggling @Phoenix90, i would see if you can be admitted for a short hospital stay. At least they can keep you safe (from yourself), and they may be able to look at your medication or possible therapy. Look after yourself.

Safe forbthe night

Maybe you should go to ER

Maybe but the circumstances are difficult to explain, if I get committed I’m pretty much guaranteed to loose my part time job

I’m a former paramedic, go to er and everyone will know my dx, no privacy and I got my counselor session in the am…

Plus ER doesn’t do much psych, better of to go straight in to psych facility

Yes. Go. As soon as possible

It would cost me my job

I think your mental health should be a priority

Thought about suicide about 14 months ago even googled the best way to do it didn’t tell my family or pych either.Trust me hang in their think of all of those movies you would miss Star Wars,Avengers etc.

If you are feeling suicidal, please tell someone — a friend or family member, a teacher, a doctor or therapist or call 911 (if you’re in the U.S.) or the Emergency Medical Services phone number in your country.

You can also call a suicide prevention hotline—these are available in the U.S. and in many other countries.
