Hello all, I have severe PSSD. I'm unable to feel emotions and have severe anhedonia and sexual dysfunction.

I'm so unwell that I can't even bullshit my way out of this ward. I get the staff to bring me meds and food because I don't want to leave my bed I can't face it. I believe they are going to keep me here for up to 6 months when I've already been here 3 weeks.

I need a method to ctb here desperately, I've tried ligature strangulation but I can't compress the carotids with a torniquet but I can compress them with my fingers and pass out just not with a band. I'm on 15 min observation

I don't care how uncomfortable the method is or about pain I just need a method please help

Is there any way you can talk to one of the nurses? If you're there already it can't hurt

Sorry you are in such place. We can tell you how to end it. You have to search it for yourself there's plenty of options if you browse it through.

I understand that but because I'm in a ward none of the usual methods are suitable so I kinda need some creative help

Just tie a couple knots in a bed sheet or pillowcase to compress the carotids and then tie it tight around your neck. Please don't take this reply as me wanting you to ctb cuz I don't but I know how much it sucks to be in the psych ward and feel like there's no way out. Good luck with whatever you choose to do. ✌️❤️

It's a tricky one, I can make myself pass out with my fingers easily. But even with some kind of knot or object to apply pressure to the carotids I only get the exploding heading feeling using ligature. do you have experience with this method?

Honestly I don't, I could never even make myself pass out. I really can't think of anything else you could do besides partial or full suspension hanging. I'm so sorry your in this position. I wish you luck in whatever happens. ✌️❤️

Hope you can solve your problems and feel better somehow.

If you're on 15 min obs and the staff are doing their jobs properly, you'll be found, taken to A&E, saved and then your life will be even more miserable than it is now. 121 24/7 It's just not worth it.

i think the best course of action is to get discharge asap by playing by their rules. You won't have nurses checking up on you outside the ward. Trying to CTB in a ward is never a good idea cause they are well aware of patients who will attempt to take their own lives at any cost. Best of luck

I've tried something similar when I was an inpatient. It's not worth it i promise you. Likelihood of succeeding is pretty slim and getting close with this method is traumatic in itself. There's nothing passive about it and you have to concentrate really hard and actively ignore all instincts while you're in a lot of pain. They'll catch you trying then you'll have a shadow and you'll feel even more suffocated

I have been in this situation, was very desperate. I tried many things but nothing worked obviously, somebody else did manage to hang themselves (successfully) because the pressure sensor on the top of the bathroom door was switched off while building work took place. 15 min obs makes it so hard, if they think you are improving they will probably go down to 30 mins which gives more time but still not any more resources to use. It is not a good idea to try while there because it just makes your situation even worse but I do understand that need and urgency. I hope things improve in there for you and you can at least be discharged and free to go home.

Sit it out.
As unpleasant as your situation is you will make it a lot worse by doing something rash and stupid.
Making any attempt in your situation will result in someone staying within arm's length of you (even when using the toilet), being (chemically) restrained or ending up buck naked in a locked room under 24/7 video surveillance until you calm down or just break (depending on what is legal where you are and how dangerous you are perceived to be to yourself or others).

I agree with Xali1970. All they have to do is say the word dangerous outloud even if you are doing nothing but knocking on the bathroom door or breathing in and out!
If you fail your attempt you will definitely be in a worse position.

During my 2nd stint at a psych ward, a patient who been there for quite a while ran headlong full speed into a brick wall and broke his neck and died. Another person at another hospital was on the news when he broke the reinforced glass on the 9th floor and jumped out the window, but he survived, paralyzed for life though.

And I wouldn't advise it to anyone. I wanted to die though and I was freaking out when they pulled it all out. It was mentally one of the hardest things I've done. If you like being entertained by people's near death experiences I've got a few. Can't believe your life's that awful tbh that you get off on other peoples misery. Makes me glad I'm me. I just wish I knew this site existed back then because I'd have done anything I just could neve succeed

I only have one. I got in the bath with a utility knife and tried to cut my radial artery below the wrist. I missed and hit a vein so I sat there bleeding for 10 minutes. I slumped back and almost passed out I was under water looking up and I could just see red. I realised I wasn't gonna die easily so I called an ambulance and when they arrived I vomited, then passed out twice in the hospital. The nurses told me I didn't even lose that much blood. Maybe enough to fill 1.5 beer bottles.

It's shit isn't it. With liquid there looks like there's loads. Especially if it's diluted. My own blood freaks me out. When I see to much I can't help calling for help. Have you tried inhaling the sheet. When I was inpatient there were all kinds of nails and jagged shit inside the wardrobes and on the walls. Everywhere I go u make sure there's something I can hurt myself with.
