Help i genuinely dont know what to do

[rayisnothereyet]

okay so ive been depressed/ suicidal ever since the age of 11. i did therapy for a bit when i was 15-16 but stopped because it felt stupid. ever since then i haven't tried to get any sort of help or anything like that thinking id just kill myself, but i haven't because i'm too pussy. so i figured i should try and get help again and try to actually live life. for a little at least, unless shit really just hits the fan, hopefully i'd have the courage by then.

but really , how does one go about getting support? like do i call a crisis line or something? do i call my regular doctor? im not sure. i've never done this before....but i would appreciate any sort of advice.

I can't really advise as I haven't saught help myself (need to be careful as in some countries.... and i don't mean to scare you... if you really divulge it all they may 'put you in a home'). That said, in the interim (that is till someone more informed can help you), you can call the crisis line (0 reprecussions and immediate assistance) if you feeling overwhelmed as talking/venting always helps. I hope someone better informed provides you with better details soon.

read the pinned posts in recovery

journal. Write there every your thought, why you may think that, what you want and why

Go to the psychologist. ask what do you do. DON'T tell you plan suicide unless you are ok with psych ward (good psych ward may actually help if you are ok with it). or go to psychiatrist. get meds, ask WHY you are getting these meds and their side effects.

Go to therapy. On therapy say every your thought aside from CURRENTLY and in near past planning suicide. Say why are you scared of therapy, You feel stupid and stuff

Read pinned postrs on Recovery for real. They are VERY helpful
