I’d like to start off by saying, I don’t think I’m going to hurt myself. I’m just thinking a lot about how much life sucks and how much easier things might be for everyone if I were gone. No one would have to suffer anymore- not me, not them.
I know many of you have had thoughts like this, so I’m just wondering: At what point do you decide that death is the best option?
I don’t feel safe. The crisis hotline I called wasn’t helpful. My husband has to go to work tonight. He can’t call out because if he misses a day during his long week, we lose overtime, and that amounts to a lot of extra money in one paycheck. So I’m on my own for the night.
drive yourself to the E.R. and tell them you are suicidal…they will help you honey…I’m sorry you feel so down about life…please don’t act on your thoughts of suicide…please… @Happy_H
What are you afraid will happen to you at the hospital?
They might change your meds, which you might need, and they’ll give you a bed to rest in until you recover.
I feel suicidal when I wake up in the morning. It takes a while of the day getting underway before I feel more like myself - if you call suicidal not being myself.
There are other people at the hospital, and they are really scary. I know that sounds stupid, but I am. I messaged my doctor to see if she would transition me over to clozapine, but I don’t know if she will. I didn’t tell her about feeling this way. My husband just left for work and the kids are getting ready for bed. I can’t even help them tonight because I am sitting in my room in the dark crying. I’m such a mess. I just feel like all of the happiness has been sucked out of me.
