I’ve never been to a mental hospital, close but haven’t. But recently I’ve been having suicidal thoughts and voices telling me to kill myself. Also my government watching ne paranoia is back to the point where even with meds it’s hard to see rate that from reality. Just wondering what puts people in a mental hospital, and if I should go.
If you think you’re going to hurt yourself or others,
Or you’ve completely lost insight.
That’s what I think is hospital worthy.
I usually go to the hospital when I can feel my grip on reality slipping, and I start feeling more and more like slitting my wrists
I ended up in a mental hospital because I quit my meds.
I haven’t lost insight, I’ve always done good on that, but I’ve cut myself already
How bad is the cut? Any cut though and you should go.
Do you usually cut yourself,
Is it a regular thing?
Sometimes I cut myself due to the voices and paranoia. But I’ve attempted suicide and didn’t go
Not very bad just more punctured my skin
If you feel you’re a risk to yourself,
You should go to the hospital.
Ok thank you, I’ll see what my parents say
I hope you do okay if you’re wondering if you should go to the hospital, you probably should. Especially if there’s a risk it might get worse to a point where you might not know to go yourself
Suicidal ideology, suicide attempts and psychosis have all put me in the hospital. I never feel like hurting anyone though.
Do you mean that you attempted suicide now? I’m very worried. I usually don’t do well after I harm myself. Are you alright?
Please go to the hospital, I am very concerned about your safety.
Also, please know that we care about you.
No during the summer I attempted suicide because I thought God told me to, but I have cut myself recently
Okay. I’m just concerned as I know that I don’t do well when I have suicidal ideation… I just want you to be okay as I care about you. Your life matters.
How are you doing now?
Not so hot, but I’m in high school right now, and I can’t afford to go to the hospital if it’s not bad enough, but the voices and paranoia are pretty bad.
Do your parents know you struggle with cutting and paranoia?
I see, is it possible if you can tell your parents or someone who can take care of you about what’s going on? Maybe they can provide you with some support.
I am unfortunately in a non-English speaking country so I can’t really assist in insurance matters, but I just want to make sure that you are in a safe place today.
Yes they do know
