I feel like if I do not talk about it with friends, I feel like I am hiding my true self, yet in the same aspect it seems like most don't want to hear about the struggles of others. If that makes sense?

Its funny tho if we were 6 feet under they would b at our graves crying how much they loved us and wish they said something bla bla lol. Sometimes it's hard when you have a big family and lots of friends but know deep down they are only great when your great but when you truly need them and that's rare they are not there for you not even doing the basic shit. It took me 2 years to get the courage to tell my mum I feel suicidal, I don't feel anything I don't want to be here and she said "oh I didn't think you'd ever think like that your always so strong and independent....so I'm gonna move out the flat soon and I reaaaally want a new car" that was my support lol.

If a person is having suicidal thoughts, how can they get help WITHOUT having to go to the hospital or being admitted into a mental ward of some kind?!!? Does anyone know?!!? I wouldn't even mind being admitted into the hospital IF they weren't going to try putting me on all sorts of medicine that just COMPOUNDS my problems and makes them so much worse. And, IF I knew (for sure) that they wouldn't try putting me in some mental ward of some kind (which would exasperate the problem even worse than putting me into some hospital and putting me on all sorts of meds that just make my problems much worse). I am NOT suicidal right now. But, there ARE times where I do get like that. And, I need help at those times. But, I am scared to go into the hospital as they might admit me and then try to pump me FULL of meds that just make my problems so much worse. Or, they might put me into some mental ward of some kind, too. And, that makes a person NOT want to get help (even though you know that you NEED it). Any suggestions?!!? Thanks!!!

WOW! I’m so glad someone talked about their parent not consenting to in-patient therapy. I had an eating disorder that started at 13 (exercise bulimia) and got so much worse by 16 to the point where there was no going around it, and I was desperate for help. I voiced it to my mom (my only “parent”), and she said, “oh, you just need to quit doing that.” I had bulimia, binge-eat SO BAD and I was on diet pills... completely debilitating and embarrassing, nonetheless. Affected my extremities(discoloration)/energy. My mom was not helpful and I reached out for help at a treatment center. I had to bring my mom with me, and she then TURNED INTO THE VICTIM and tried to come up with a story of why I was just a moody teenager. My GOD!! I lost hope in her ever being a mother to me completely. I’m 20 now, and I WISH I could’ve had that HELP at 16! I swear, if your child wants inpatient therapy, give them that RIGHT to do so.

Ive had a sudden crying spell before, maybe two. Theyre actually pretty normal in certain situations. Most recently it happened when I had moved out of my parents house. In the afternoon I got on a plane, flew across the country, they lost my bags, i went to my place, met my room mate, went out to get some food, etc. Then it was late, I was tired and went to bed. Turned on my gameboy advance to play before I slept, and just broke down crying. It didnt last for long, and I'm not ashamed of it. It was a hugely stressful day, with everything stopping me from really having time to stop and think about it all. First chance I got, I crashed. I just wanted to share this to show that even in situations where nothing is going really wrong (I knew I'd get my stuff back eventually, wasnt a big deal.) you can still have this happen just from being overwhelmed.

I'm passively suicidal. I dont have plans, but I think about it every day. Not like those quick thoughts either. Like, just... the idea of it. Would it make me feel better? Would people really miss me? Stuff like that. And sometimes I think about how I would do it, I guess. I hear about people going to the hospital and getting better there. I want help like that. All I have right now is medication and my family, sitting there thinking everything is alright. I've told my mom, and she said she was going to tell my psychiatrist when we saw him next, but she didn't, and I didn't remind her. I still haven't. I think they dont get it. I feel like just telling them again won't help. For all the courage it'll take, it's not worth it. Actions speak louder than words. I'm 13, and if I was an adult, I'd just go check myself into the hospital. I just want to feel better. And I don't want to try and convince them to take me. They won't. They won't understand. They're really good parents, but they've never dealt with these thoughts. They won't get it. How bad it is. What I have in mind to fix it. Am I sick enough yet? Or do I have to be actively suicidal?

I have experience with health care systems in the Netherlands and Hungary. Netherlands: my maths teacher sent me to the counsellor at school because she noticed I was feeling down. My counsellor asked me about my issues and at first I refused to speak but then eventually I told her about my family, eating and mood issues. She asked me whether I thought of suicide and when I said yes she called in my parents the same day (it was a Friday afternoon/evening). My parents said there was't a need but she told them there was and wrote an urgent request to my doctor to refer me to a psychologist. I got help in a matter of weeks, it was al covered by insurance. Hungary: my form tutor noticed scars on my arm and discussed that with me, then convinced me to see the school counsellor (note: this is a private school, I don't think Hungarian state schools have a counsellor). She wasn't particularly helpful but really nice, and she basically convinced me to reach out to further help. My form tutor helped me by writing my stepmom a email, asking her to assist in finding an english speaking psychiatrist. She did, and I got help. This psychiatrist is private (so not covered by insurance. Cost is 12000 HUF/hour. I do have Hungarian insurance for the medication she prescribes, and those are really cheap, maybe 1000 HUF/month) So basically I got help in the Netherlands and Hungary, despite the fact that I am a straight-A student

I'm from the UK and I attempted suicide a couple of months ago, thinking that even if I didn't die, I would finally be taken seriously but nothing's changed. In hospital no one really spoke to me and I was just made to feel bad for the way I was feeling and to be honest I felt extremely alienated. I attempted on a Friday and I was back at school the following Monday, where my guidance teacher spoke to me extremely quickly as she is always in a hurry and never has time for a proper conversation. My favourite teacher was also told and all I felt was that she didn't care, and I feel she still doesn't. I was referred onto cahms which is a child's mental health service in the uk, and they were no help at all. The woman who came and spoke to me accepted everything I said, just the same as everyone else, which I was slightly surprised about. I'd thought that someone who had attempted suicide 3 days ago wouldn't be taken seriously when I said I was fine and had nothing to talk about?
@amyduffy51668 жыл бұрын
I met with the woman 4 times before she declared me 'better' and that was the end of it. Everyone was getting fed up with me so I had to continue with my act of being fine. 3 months down the line, I continually think about suicide except when I'm having good times. I'm either extremely happy or I'm numb. Not numb like I can't feel anything, more numb like I can feel but it doesn't affect me if that makes sense? One of my best friends also has suicidal thoughts and has never opened up to someone before and then last months had a late night conversation where we told each other how we feel and we told each other our dates. When I'm on normal days I can admit that somethings wrong but she never can. I once asked her if she would ever go and see a doctor and she told me she had nothing to go and see a doctor about. I know she does, as do I, and her date is before mine. I feel like I have no options whatsoever, I've done everything I possibly can to help myself.

I feel like I'm just surviving until my date which is, thankfully, soon. My only worry is that I'm on an up when my date comes. I don't even know if I want to die, I think I just want it all to stop. I want to be normal but at the same time, without this, what do I have left? I just really really want people to care and they don't and I can't deal with that. I forgot to mention before but I'm 15 and have felt this way since I was 10.

Europe - DID, Depression and Anti-Stress pills for extreme paranoia diagnosis. My diagnosis took years and were really stressing. I began showing signs as a child (what people told me, I only have flashbacks and they terrify me). Then, when we have moved a country I began to hallucinate all over again and lose memory. My hallucinations appeared as a huge black animal covered in blood. It was either standing by my bed while staring at me, or following me when I was outside. It lasted for 3 years without any treatment when I reached towards suicidal thoughts, self-harm, aggression towards most people around me and insomnia due to fear. Fucked up, but only then my mother finally realized that what I was going through was really serious. At first I was undiagnosed, and they gave sleeping pills and sent me back home. We came back two months later after school counselor got really worried. This time psychiatrist diagnosed me with schizophrenia. Me and my mother later decided to change the doctor, and that’s when I had been given medication (Atarax and Zoloft), psychotherapy and diagnosis of DID, Depression and etc. I am now getting help but sometimes it does not feel like enough. But it is very important to be honest with your doctor and I know that its hard. Remember that they want to help you, they will base your diagnosis on your answers same as treatment. But also make sure that you like your doctor and that they know what they are doing. Good luck:)

When I was in the hospital, we had a violent patient who lashed out and punched one of the male nurses and a security guard. All of the patients in our ward were under lock-down while they got him under control and I was so scared that I practically holed up in my room to cry because I was so upset from it. Like I actually went into fight or flight mode and I felt like I was going to have a heart attack because it was so scary.

Katie, I'm scared. I've only had a suicidal thought/feeling once a couple years ago, until now. Now this past week on Wednesday and Thursday night as I was laying in bed to go to sleep "kill myself" kept popping up in my brain. I have no feeling that I want to do this, yet it kept repeating. I don't understand why. I told my husband about it, and I'm trying to get an appointment with my therapist. I work and have a lot of appointments for my baby, so I feel like I don't have time to get to therapy, yet I know I need to. I do have an appointment with my psychiatrist April 10th. My worry is, will these thoughts end up making me do something I don't want to do? Does happen to people? Can people get to a point where they feel like they're not in control? It worries me. Thank you for your help.

I was involuntary admitted to the psych ward cause I felt it was a good idea to admit suicidal thoughts. DO NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE! The psych ward is a shitty place. It does not help. It does not “keep you safe.” All it is is jail. Psychiatry can’t claim to be just as valuable and valid as any other health profession then have the legal right to force you into the psych “hospital.” If I had diabetes but refused insulin, they would say that’s my own poor choice. I’m not deemed competent enough to decide I need their help but they think I’m competent enough to pay the astronomical bill they send to me for the “service.”

I hate to say it but my experience in the UK is pretty bad. When I was 16 in CAMHS it was quick and efficient, cause your under 18 they are considered responsible so they are not bad depending in the area you live, they will at least give you counselling. Since I turned 18 the adult service is crap, I went strait from day patient unit to one appointment a month, then I lost a load of weight in a month (had bowel op that almost killed me, literally) but when I next went in they weighed me and said you are not trying go. I was trying my best (had a colostomy bag forgodsake) but they said they either wanted me full inpatient or nothing to do with me (no dietician, therapist, family counselor) as my medical health risks due to all the ops ect were high they didnt want to see me and have me die, so it was better to have complete control where they could tube me or no contact at all. They still refuse to help me even though I have asked over a year later as I am struggling. And I'm someone who wants to get better but can't. It's disappointing. My point is you are under 18 so get help now while your still in CAMHS as they will help you. Please do this to help the rest of your life xxxxxx

I haven't had a personal experience, but my friend was on a waiting list for counselling for 6 months and then they let her go because she couldn't make it to 3 of her appointments, but it wasn't like she just decided not to turn up - one time she was too physically ill, another time she had no way of getting there and the final time she had an autism screening that she'd been waiting for for ages. I mean I understand that there is a long waiting list so they have to make sure that everyone in counselling isn't just wasting the staff's time, but surely her reasons for missing those appointments are valid? It just makes me mad, mental health care really needs to be improved here.

I'm high functioning and feeling overwhelmed. I'm a combat veteran and I am being treated for depression. I normally I feel a general "when is life over". Not sure if this fall into "passive sudicie thoughts". I don't have a plan to take my life. I just want life to hurry up and be over. I use work, household shores, reading, and studying about natural hair routines as a distraction. But today I feel my depression and anxiety is trying to out smart be like "lol you think you can out smart me with healthy distraction". I'm not on meds cause I don't like the side effects recently prozac now makes me more tired and gives me diarrhea. So stopped taking it. I looked into natural remedies at Whole Foods. I started listening to meditation high vibration music while I sleep. I noticed it helped. I'm tired and exhausted all the time but since I'm high functioning I masked depression and anxiety with work and doing my hair and cooking. These are all healthy and helpful. I just don't think it's enough. I'm tired of being the strong person the bigger person, always strategizing, problem solving always dealing life, managing myself, dealing with others. I always want to be left alone with my thoughts, trying to sort out how not to act how I feel but act reasonable. If anyone reading this can make sense of this. Please help.

I still am not used to him being gone and I feel guilty if I find myself enjoying a conversation or laughing about something. I cried every day for a long time and there were some mornings when I woke up and I was already crying before I was even awake. I considered suicide too, but I know that is not a solution to anything and I just wish my son would have known that.

I'm in the UK and recently had my eating disorder assessmentI got my asesement and being referrd o a eating disorder clinic who then set up the assessment (I hope this helps as I was very nervous and had no idea what was going to happen)..........at the start it was very formal and factual as they initially asked about information to do with jobs, finance and school we also had to fill out some paperwork and sign a few things. I don't remember everything but he asked about my symptoms so e.g. binging/purging/ restricting and asked about any health issues i'd experienced. we spoke a lot about my diet habits and the frequency of the binge purging and about when the eating disorder started and how it starts.he then asked about self-harm and alcohol or drug misuse and then moved on to ask about the situation at home and asked about all of my relationships a home. towards the very end I filled out a motivation scale where I placed my self a scale of 1-10 for topics such as 'how motivated are you to recover?' and 'how likely do you think your are to recover? finally at the end of the session they allow you to invite a parent/guardian/or friend to come in but you can refuse and ask about their main concerns at home and ways to move forward as a family. we then spoke about the kind of treatment I will receive. the session is around 2 hours typically but mine was a bit longer. I hope that this helps you understand the structure of the assessments and you can get treatment xxx

I was once told by a psychologist that my depression probably wasn't depression because I wasn't suicidal (I had those "yeah I could just jump here and die" moments but I wasn't actually going to do that or had an actual plan or anything). At that point it had been years of dealing with it without reaching out because "it`s probably nothing, I`ll be fine" and then when I finally did, it was all invalidated for a reason I was lucky enough to know has nothing to do with wether or not it`s depression (seriously thank god I did and was able to realise that, I can only imagine what saying "it`s not depression because you're not suicidal" could do to someone). Didn't work with them for long (probably understandable why, it wasn't really helpful) and it took me years to reach out again. Now I do have the diagnosis (otherwise unspecified depression (not sure what it`s officially in English) and social anxiety) and have been seeing a psychiatric nurse for a while and I'm looking for a therapist. It`s sometimes hard and I still have the habit of invalidating my own feelings that I've had all these years but I'm working on it.

Not that you can choose to be admitted if you're not being offered that, you could ask a CAMHS worker or something but it isn't the same as the US.

I liked your poker chip analogy! I was thinking about because I was taught the same thing with spoons. If anyone doesn’t know what spoon theory is, basically you wake up with a certain amount of kitchen utensils. You might start with, idk, 5 straws, 2 forks, but for some reason you don’t have a spoon that day. You can eat your breakfast cereal with a fork, but it’s hard with a straw because you can only drink the milk. You have energy to drive to school or work, but not to do the work. I really like these types of analogies because they help to explain why sometimes we just don’t have the capacity to do something at specific times, especially to people who have a smaller or different understanding about what you’re feeling.

Hi. I'm 18 and from Malaysia. I've recently been diagnosed with anorexia but I doubt so because I don't exactly fit the full criteria and neither am I fully bulimic. I just want to be properly diagnosed and so I can get solid help. I also have depression and anxiety which were officially diagnosed by the Dr. However I do think I too have PTSD. Anyway, my point is I made effort to go and see a psychiatrist about this. It sucks when I want to get help but my meetings with the psychiatrist is disapproved by both my parents. They refuse to pay for my appointments with the Dr. I've relapsed so many times in 5 years and I know that the lack of support from my parents isn't enough for me to recover a 100%. I'm just not mentally strong enough. Right now, I'm trying my best to recover over all and praying that there won't be any relapse again. I'd appreciate if I could get some advice from anyone. I'm sorry btw if you think my situation is rather ridiculous and makes less sense than other people's problems. Maybe I'm over thinking everything?
