I've had enough of my stupid brain.
Thanks

I would not try killing yourself in a hospital, they are required to do fifteen minute checks and it will likely make it worse for you if you do so.

I saw a suicide attempt when I was in a mental hospital. The man locked himself in the toilet, broke a mug and cut his veins, but of course he was rescued and he only made himself worse, since all the nurses just got mad and made his life even more unbearable. So my advice is not to try it.
