Should I go to the hospital?

I have done it many times (usually with suicide thoughts) . I am even considering ECT , even though it doesn't help that much.

Dgango, if you are a danger to yourself or others, you should indeed

go to the hospital where they can help you stay safe. Let us know what

your decision is. We are also here for you :) xx

The question alone, in my opinion, calls for atleast 72 hours. Just to be safe.

You’ll be in the right hands and you won’t have to worry about it later. You’ll have made the smart and proper choice.

However the best option is not what I think, it’s how you feel because that’s most important right now.

Like agora said, we are here for you.

Much love to you, stay safe

This is my take on it. If you REALLY feel like you might make a suicide attempt and you have an idea of how you're going to do it, by all means go!!!! If you aren't feeling suicidal, then I would try to do some self help techniques before going there. Talk to some friends and family members about your feelings, take a long hot shower, snuggle with a pet, listen to some calming music, have a cup of warm tea and destress!!!!! Watch a great movie, write out everything your feeling, try to get your mind off of all your problems. And know you are not alone.☺

Did you go to the hospital

How are you now ? Ok?

Thinking of you

Good to hear you're ok. So glad to hear this.

Are you able to get some rest now? Have you eaten today.
