a hug?
 

I OD on monday and went to hospital. i stayed there 2 days and some psychiatrists told me that its suggested that i go to a psychiatric hospital, so i went only for a day and then they sent me home, without letting me talk to them about how i feel. i didn't want to stay there, but i don't feel very well. to say the truth, i still feel unsafe, they didn't let me talk, so i left. i guess i need some support, or a hug maybe?

i don't feel well. i feel the need to kill myself again.

is there anyone you can talk to about this? could you maybe phone the hospital up and tell them that you felt that no-one was listening/talking to you? I know you don't want to stay there, but maybe just having someone to talk things through with would be hlpful?

I'm sorry that no one listened to you. If you're feeling really unsafe then it's best that you go back to the hospital. Do you have any support outwith hospital from a therapist? Maybe you could let them know how you are feeling, or phone your doctor. Please take care. I hope things get better for you soon.

they told me there that they can't keep me because they can't help me. everyone says they can't help me. who can then? everybody is sending me to another doctor.

why do they say that? do they give a reason? cause that really doesn't make any sense. a psych should not give up on you.

they said that i can't come and go from hospital all the time, i have been there on and off 4 times since july and they think that i shouldn't go in everytime i feel unsafe. its not a place to keep an eye on me. they also said that they have tried everything to help me, but i can't be helped and i need extra help from someone else.

I don't suppose they suggested who/where that extra support was going to come from?

I hope you don't mind me noting that I can kinda understand why they don't want you in hospital everytime you are unsafe as it can stop you from learning other ways of coping. However, they should be helping you find these other ways and supporting you.

they told me to ask another hospital for support.

Did they suggest a particular one? One with a specialty in helping people with the problems you have?

yeah, but that hospital hasn't called yet. im on a waiting list since before christmas. im waiting for their phone call.

Can the hospital you have been going to chase it up for you? Do you have a family dr or someone who could chase them and at least get an idea as to how long you will need to wait?

they told me that i have to keep calling.

awe :( im really sorry it must be really hard for you.
i know how you feel because i have recently been told i cant be helped and that i will feel like i do forever. I dont really know what to suggest but i just thought id let you know im here. Feel free to PM me anytime

xXxXxXx

thank you. im glad that im not alone. i just feel that no one can help me and that i won't be able to get over my problem.

Hun, please don't kill yourself it won't make anything any better.
If you don't feel like they gave you a chance to talk then maybe go back and tell them how you feel? Tell them you don't feel safe, ect ect. Take care, sweet. xxx

they said clearly that they can't help me there and that they have tried everything. going to hospital its not a solution, they said.

what have they tried?

they have accepted me 4 times, trying most of the meds, giving me therapy with psychologists while being there, but i still cant get better. when i leave hospital, i always do something to hurt myself again. they are fed up with me.

I've had hospitals treat me like that. But the thing is, counseling takes a long time to be effective. And while I have tried I think 18 or 19 meds now, there's still more... I've been to various psych hospitals 8 times. So while I agree you need new coping skills than going to the hospital, they should be continuing your therapy. It takes a long time to get over self-injury and suicidal thoughts.

thats why i believe. that they should keep trying. but they have different opinion. i dont know what to do. the other hospital called me and they said they want to see me in 2 weeks. i hope they accept me there. not to stay, but for therapy.
