Part of me feels like i should do a failed attempt as it feels like the only way i can get real help. For my MH to be taken seriously. Maybe then they will offer more support give me some diagnosis of something that could help me in my legal case.

Have you ever had a failed CTB attempt and what was the outcome from it. How did Drs and family react? Did you get any help? Any therapy, diagnosis or anything.

I know its a stupid idea but im backed into a corner here with no way out. Ive already done SH so badly i needed a month in hospital and 3 ops (not an attempt) and that did get me some help. Im just out of ideas out of hope.. there feels like nothing i can do to help get my case dropped. it hurts so much. idk what to do

A failed attempt can leave you much worse off physically and mentally. It was extremely traumatic to me and my family. I don't get looked at the same anymore and I feel pathetic personally. The psych unit gave me many drugs, but no therapy. It didn't help me and therapy doesn't either. Maybe it's better where you are tho. Some of the doctors/nurses were really judgmental and it made me feel worse. I did get a lot of diagnosis through my multiple visits to psych. Didn't make me feel better.

Can't you just go say you will ctb at a hospital to try and get help? It might help you. I wouldn't recommend doing what you are thinking.

I'm with them 👆 on this, any other way to get help would be better. If you really can't be talked out of it, make sure whatever you use is something that has no chance of actually working or doing any real harm.

The key part of my post is the legal issue side of what im going through. I feel I have to play this MH game even if it doesnt help me mentally just to get therapy or diagnosis just to help with my case. IDK no one looks at me the same way in my family anymore after all the legal and self harm ive done anyways. im at my limit with it all and i kinda do miss the hospital i felt safe there.

I know its stupid but i dont see any other way of getting help. And my legal issues are such a huge weight i feel i need to be in MH therapy and care to try and push back against it all. I hate everything thats going on in my life right now its awful.
I know its a really extreme thing to try...

Are you absolutely sure this would even help you legally? Can you ask your lawyer if there is a psychiatrist to help diagnose you to help your case? Or if this would even help?

Well i ended up in hospital having an emergency op and two more after. Was in hospital for a month and i had one admission before this and it didnt help yet. Maybe it stacks more things to be used later on when we start to make arguments. i hate talking to my solicitor they are scary af

I'm really sorry you're going through all this and I wish you the best truly.

If you think it will help maybe you should check in at the hospital since you feel safe there and they can help diagnose you more. Don't try to make a failed attempt please.

I called the community team asking for updates when ill get beck into some therapy and they should tell me maybe.

As for MH hospital you can only voluntarily go in to avoid them forcing you in under a legal section. If you go voluntarily then it makes things easier.

Kinda of the same with me although of course I hope that it works. And honestly I just have no idea as I'll be considered homeless

I don't know what kind of legal trouble you're having but my mental health struggles have only ever been held against me in legal proceedings. They can and will use all of it to dismiss, undercut, and punish you. There is no way an attempt will help you legally.

Failed attempt, need urgent help
3 days ago I started going every single night at a river I know I can drown in before anyone comes to me. My problem is that every time I go my SI kicks in and can t do it. I tried a lot of alcohol and thinking to just jump without spending time near it or going off the stairs of it but I didn t have the courage for that either.
What can I take that s accessible to make me unconscious so I fall, or that would make my SI not kick in; I thought about holding my breath until I pass out when I m near the edge? Too bad I think that maybe my SI would make me breathe anyway
I really wanna do it tonight
On an unrelated note, I hope all you guys find a reason to stay

TLDR;
What can I take other than alcohol to make my SI go away and be able to drown myself?

sorry this post was about doing an attempt and living so the attempt would get me the help i needed. idk ur situation but maybe theres a reason ur si kicks in that u wanna be here still. sorry i cant help but it does get me thinking theres a water mill near me. its too warm to just take a dip and then sleep as the cold takes over rn but ur post gets me thinking its an option maybe but drowning is one of the worst ways like fire its just awful

Actually, fun fact: it's too warm is probably false. Water has a high heat capacity. It's a heat sink. So even if it's like 30C, it'll suck ur body heat right out if it's a big enough body of water. There's a battle idr many of the details, except that they were fighting in knee-deep, warm water, and the survivors of the battle died of hypothermia. I guess it's not that helpful tho since most wouldn't wanna sit in a lake for hours, but facts are fun :3
