Desperately want to die but on suicide watch

[orangepulp]

For nearly two weeks on Friday I've been constantly on one on one observation in hospital. I could go out with staff but today they decide to change it that I can't go out at all. Fuckkkkkkkkkkkk I have to die I need to die.

Mental hospitals are the fucking worst. So many horror stories from people on this site and on the internet in general. So many people struggling with mental illness being treated either with kid gloves or just outright demonized instead of actually treating the problem (if it's treatable). I'm terribly sorry that you've been tortured like this!

That sounds awful. If you're over 18 can't you sign yourself out tho? If not, just pretend to get better? Sorry if this is not helpful, I'm sure you've already considered these things.

Suicide in a psychiatric hospital, even if you are not on suicide watch or are on outing with staff, is very difficult. As long as your stay is not going to be an indefinite one, I would generally recommend being a model patient and making the most of your time there until you are discharged.

From the UK where can be possible to end life on ward but takes combo careful planning. Staff on close obs often fall asleep or stepped down obs to 15 min obs. Here some units have single rooms. But methods are almost always hanging unless you have been together enough to have had something prepared to bring in. .

Other things ppl do is try faking physical illness as gets you to the Emergency Department where more chances move freely and psych staff outside comfort zone. Here we would do a runner from there
