Help Non-lethal method

[333olivia]

I want to get send to a psych ward and for my parents and the people and doctors around me to take me seriously but I don't want to kill myself just yet. What would be a good way to end up in the hospital? If I ended up dying it's ok as long as I wasn't aware of it.

Go to the ER and say you intend to make a suicide attempt if you're not admitted. That should get you in though you never know with the logic of the mental health system. You can also call the emergency number and say the same thing though in America at least it is better to go to the ER yourself to avoid any ambulance charges.

You don't need to hurt yourself to express how much pain you're in. You can just go to the emergency department and tell them you're suicidal and want to hurt yourself. They should take your words very seriously. I hope you get the help you need.

You can voluntarily go to a clinic without harming yourself

I understand that. But sadly often it does not work like we wish.

Try to commit suicide is always a risk. Not only the risk of dying but also the risk of survive with damages. A overdose for example can cause a special Epilepsie that damage your brain. Sorry I cant explain it better in english. You never know what happens If you overdose.

Also if you try to hang. The time from healthy survive to survive with brain damage is short.

But I really understand that sometimes there is a feeling that you have to show how deep is the pain. And that there is no other way to show it. But you have to choose a save way! Without the option that something goes wrong! Say you have sleeping pills. Show the knife. Say to someone you try to commit suicide and then run away. Something like that... :-/ But yes, always the best is going to hospital and say that you have real thoughts of suicide.

Trying to commit suicide with the hope somebody will help often does not work like you want. It changes nothing. And if it works this feeling helps only for few days or hours... Try something else. Speak about your suicidal ideas. Say that you feel nobody see how deep is your pain. Say that you feel you have to show with cruel methods how deep the pain is. Say that you think nobody see how bad you feel inside. Say that you think you have to try suicide if nothing really change.

Yes. Go to the ER or a clinic (if in the US). Once you start the process there will be follow-up recommended after. That's when the real work will start.

I've tried that twice and they kept me there for a day and sent me home. My parents didn't believe I would ever do it.

You could overdose on some sedatives or sleeping pills. It should knock you out well enough to scare you and everyone else around you. Not without risks, but the chances of dying is relatively low. If you want to make it even safer, you could arrange to be found, or call or text someone before going completely unconscious.

I'm sorry to hear that. You shouldn't have to hurt yourself just to get other people to take you seriously though I understand why you feel driven to do that. Did you tell staff you still feel highly suicidal?
