Suicidal Thoughts - Are you Feeling Suicidal Today?

I would absolutely not want some recommendation for hospitalization on the radar and some jackass might run with it. It would make me so much worse.

I agree based on my experience being forced into a 72 hour hold.

I’m struggling a lot right now. The thoughts are now telling me to seek release, as in kms. I feel like I could go all the way through with it, too. I usually have a sense that if I really had a method in hand and ready to use, I would chicken out at the last minute. I don’t have that feeling now.

The main thing holding me back is my reasons to not do it. I’m starkly aware, though, that without the harm that my exit would entail, I would need the coroner within 24 hours. I feel terribly stupid.

Oof. I can attest that not all psych units are equivalent. They vary greatly from one area to another, even here in my small state. I saw that firsthand during clinical rotations, but mostly my concern is that I did years of psych nursing, and if I saw somebody I knew from my former job, I would absolutely want to die! The chances of that are highly likely.

Thanks for that information. Honestly I think I will sleep easier now because lately I’ve been disturbed by the thought of all inpatient adults in crisis experiencing something like I did.
