mthor Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Didn't you say something about seeing a therapist? That would be a more appropriate person to ask. Also, if you tell your therapist that you're contemplating suicide, I'm pretty sure that they can move your appointment up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you speaking about yourself? Look man, death is an uncertainty. If there's anything you laugh about in this life, remember - that's all fucking gone once you're gone.

PhilosipherStoned Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 yes. You will most likely be naked in a padded cell with someone assigned to stare at your naked body just in case you end up getting a hold of something you can kill yourself with if you're suicidal.. If you are feeling this way not trying to scare you it's just... especially working with prisoners I'm used to saying all that because people try to get into the mental wards thinking they'll have it easier, and maybe they will if they are comfortable with all that but usually after hearing how it is they say "fuck that no I'm not suicidal I was just in my feelings I guess boss." As for being institutionalized just because of a mental disability or whatever you got going on it shouldn't be as bad of course, but that all depends on the 'institution' as well. All that said what makes you think any of that's in your future anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 *Exchange 'cell' for 'room' in my above post and it's still pretty accurate for how any mental health institution is gonna treat you if you go in saying you're suicidal. Really where is that coming from though man I get you may have a level of depression, but with the circumstances nationwide right now a lot of people do. If you think you need in-patient help for your mental illness.. ADHD or whatever you got going on that's a completely different thing from the suicidal issue is all I'm trying to tell you, and you don't want to overstate your depression or anything like that unless you actually feel like you're in danger of ending your own life for the hell of it..

PhilosipherStoned Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) So honestly man with the way things sound you should have mental health check ups and docs or something assigned to you kind of on a case basis.. I believe you've even said you get SSI or whatever it is. Tell them how you feel. That's going to be very concerning for them, but it doesn't necessarily mean you are going to be institutionalized either. Maybe they'll just prescribe you an anti-depressant or be able to work out what's making you feel that way, and not do it at all.. Speaking from experience you don't seem to be a danger to your self from all the posts you;ve made..but I have no idea what's going on with you either I'm just a random guy on the internet. If you get to the point where you are plotting ways to hurt yourself you need to seek help immediately is all I can really say. I'd hate to see you go for one internet pal...

We all seem to be able to mingle with you here on UE to whatever degree so it's hard for me to say you have as much to worry about as you think. Just remember you are the only one that can take your life in a direction YOU want.. I hope things are ok on the job front if you lost your SSI...but as I have been trying to say it's your responsibility.

Skiles Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 When I went in a couple months ago it was through the emergency room, so they tested me. I was negative so I went straight in. If you do that and you're positive, or you do it by other means, I don't know. Plus I'm sure it varies even by state, let alone city. So I'm not sure, and if anyone here could answer questions about mental institutions, it's me. Covid throws a wrench into everything. But no matter what, if you really think it's what you need, get the help. Pursue other means, if possible. But if you're at that point, take the leap. It's not showing weakness, it's showing strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
