I know it's a strange request but... Can someone help me? I don't wanna die. I mean, not RIGHT NOW. Im tired. I'm so fucking tired and I don't need more questions. I just want to know a way, a method or how much pills or which ones do I have to swallow, that will be enough to send me to a hospital. Idc about psychiatry yards and stuff because I'm from another country and things are different here. So, I just want to get some attention, to make them see that I'm tired of this bullshit and im on the edge, i need help. I have whiskey, some ibuprofen, idk. I just want to be send to the hospital. What I need to drink? I have a bottle of 750 ml of whiskey and a lot more of alcohol and maybe some pain reliefs in my house. Some diphenhydramine hci idk. A lot of another medicine. PLEASE. No questions, no judgment. Just help me.

have to say-i admire yr honesty that u just want attention SO many people on hear and irl-will do anything to get it and yet not be able to admit that is what they want! So you dont mind going to a psych ward? does anyone know how u are feeling?! is there anyone u can talk to, do u know why u feel so bad? sorry ive asked more questions!! just trying to understand. You could OD on lots of things and be hospitalised-but it doesnt nessearily mean that doing so will help u long term, though u might get a little bit more mental health support, thou i dunno what country u r in...so dont know the system

Which country are u located? I think you can voluntarily commit yourself to psych ward? If you tell them or the hospital that you are really suicidal. Or you can call the suicide hotline and tell them you have all the supplies and ready to die

imo I think your thought process is a bit unrealistic. An action like this will not help you in any way, unless you are in a smaller homogeneous society/community, that you are part of, where they will actually care about each other. Today's world is different. You will only get yourself into a lot of problems by doing this, and your cry for attention will get a response you will not like, and you will regret this.

I've been doing therapy for 5 years I think. Every week I have to sit in that chair and talk about what is happening. Everyone is thinking that I'm getting better, but the truth is that I'm not. And I don't know how to show this, I don't know how to say this. My therapist said to me this week the there would be no chance of me getting worse again, but why im feeling like this? My parents are religious and sometimes I'm so fucking tired of hearing that everything is about God. Not that I don't believe, I do. But maybe not in the way they do, maybe I don't have the faith they do. Im tired of talk. And talk. And talk. Im talking all the time, but it seems that no one it's listening. I feel like im the failure here and I'm tired of feeling like this. Im too afraid to live right now, but I'm afraid too die. Maybe if I just could get they attention, maybe if I could scare them and be sent to a hospital, them they could be able to see, that I'm not okay.

My lawyer had me committed because I talked about killing myself. He drove me to the hospital, lead me to believe I was going to just talk to someone. This was three months after I had been run over by a bus.

I don't remember the rest, but my roommate said the psych ward was hell.

I have given Communion to patients in the psych ward and can attest to how loud they are. I honestly don't know how anyone can recover in a place like that.

If you are in the US, I would highly recommend NOT going. Not only does it go on your medical record, you will be forever judged by your doctors because of it.

Can you stay somewhere else for a few days and talk to an online counselor? Or do you have someone who will respect your confidentiality?

If you truly believe that being committed is the only way you can get help, then please go. But do a quick search of hospitals in your area. Some hospitals are better equipped at handling your type of situation.

Peace be with you. <3

yeah that sounds tough but to be very realistic what do u think will happen if u OD and go to hospital, probably u would get put on a drip for a day or two at most-maybe a few nights/ week or so in a psych ward-then u r back to square one-all they will/ can do is suggest more talking therapy (which u r said u r sick of) or medications?....so i dont know what you hope to achieve or what u want. In yr mind..what is the attention that u hope to get? u want people to listen but u've said yrslef u r tired of talking, so thats tricky....

Guys... Im just tired... I'm tired of questions. This supposed to be a pro choice? Just want some help with the numbers, quantity... Look, i dont have nothing to complain about. I love my family. But I have a tumor, a lot of hormonal problems and those things, is causing a lot of trouble in my life. All those humor changes, the depression. Besides the bipolar disorder, the anxiety... I want to get a surgery that would solve most of this problems, but my mother is being very negative about it, most because religious stuff. Lately, all sheve been doing is criticize me. All that I say is wrong. I'm a mistake. I could understand when I did a tattoo and she didn't talk to me for three days. But I can't understand WHY IN THE WORLD A SURGERY THAT WILL BE AMAZING FOR MY FUCKING RECOVERY OF EVERY FUCKING THING, is wrong? WHY IN HER MIND, I HAVE ASK TO GOD FIRST? Duuuude, its my life, I COULD BE SO MUCH HAPPIER AND IM SO FUCKING TIRED OF EXPLAINING ALL THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT TO HER. AND IM ALWAYS WRONG BECAUSE APPARENTLY IM NOT UNDERSTANDING HER! FUUUUCK! It's my fucking body! My happinness! AND THE POINT IS! Maybe if I try, if go to the hospital with a OD, she will finally understand that I NEED TO DO THIS, IM NOT OK. FUCK! AGAIN! I'm really tired guys... how many pills? I just want the quantity.

Oh, don't. Like I said, it's just because I live in a small town. I don't know how is the reality in the big cities. Brazil is not the paradise for the mental illness too. Actually, we are faaaaaar behind US and other countries in a lot of questions, but main, health. But here, even if we don't have the best treatments, people are used to be more... understandable. They have empathy, love to give and maybe this can count...

I understand your motive but would personally not stage an attempt, out of fear of irreversible damage, especially if you already have a medical condition. (maybe there is no risk with the right method, but sorry, have no info on that)

I would recommend what @wendydong1 proposed: call a suicide hotline, the hospital or your therapist and tell them how desperate you are and that you are prepared to kill yourself right now, you just had second thoughts.
In my country (Germany) that would be more than enough to get an emergency admission.

Here, if you'd tell them you absolutely can't wait until tomorrow, they'd send an ambulance right your way to pick you up. That can seem very dramatic and would definitely get you some attention?

I think people are just asking questions to actually fully understand exactly what your goal is and what you want to achieve, like u didnt mention before that u had a tumor?!! so that is quite a big thing to also add to the mix, it can be hard for strangers to help sometimes without asking a few basic questions just to clarify some of the things you said & yr specific situation. I got hospitalised by taking over 100pills (mixed) and drinking a bottle of wine, is that helpful? prob not, but that is perhaps a more direct answer to yr question.

If you want help, anywhere in the world you can walk into a hospital, say you are suicidal and get help. Is there a reason I am missing why you are coming here asking how to get help instead of walking into the hospital you say is nice? I'm confused.

Yes go to the ER and tell the hospital that you are suicidal, if they're asking you 'are you feeling suicidal now' say yes and you'll most likely end up there

There is no other help in hospital. They give people the same drugs and same therapy that you are getting outside of it (I assume you have tried medicine for your situation).

The only thing extra is that you will loose your freedom and you will have company of people who are really nuts and can be loud, irritating, violent etc.

I think that prison is better than hospital since in hospital you don't only loose your freedom to be and do what you want to do and be forced to do what you are told but you loose your freedom to your body and thoughts also. And in psych ward they can keep you as long as they want without any release day and prevent you escaping the torture by death. I don't get what good that could do to anybody.

Surely some countries have things better than others but you will have nothing to gain and everything to loose in my opinion.

If your drugs are not helping then you should try bigger dose or different drugs. And have good tests to find out what could cause your depression since it can be result of many illnesses for example lack of thyroid or other hormones.
Pain also can cause same symptoms than in depression, weening of most medicine if they are depleted or stopped, lack of sleep from sleeping problems like narcolepsy or sleep apnea that people don't often know they have etc.

I have no way to help you mate but I truelly hope that things will get better for you. There is recovery side in this forum for those who try to recover that could be beneficial for you. There you will get friends and loving support from people who care.

I will send all my love for you.

I know you said no questions, but if you have tumor that needs to be removed do your parents have to sign off on it? I mean do you need their permission before the hospital will admit you for surgery?

Your mom sounds a lot like my mom, only without as much religion. She wanted grandchildren and as her only child it was my job to get married and start popping out babies.

She actually threatened to kill me in a restaurant because I told her I was too young and I didn't want to have this conversation anymore.

If you are able and you need surgery because your doctor told you, then get the surgery. It is better to have family pissed off at you than to put your body through any more torment and I say this as someone who has been chewed up by the American healthcare system and it's going to keep chewing until I kill myself or get medical treatment in another country.

I sincerely hope you are in a safe place now, away from all that has been adding to your pain.

When you are able, and only if you feel like it, please PM me if you need someone to listen to you.

No judgment from me, my friend. You don't need to do anything other than say you are going to commit suicide to someone who will take you seriously enough to call emergency services. Then they take you to a general hospital, have you speak to someone who deals with mental health. What you do then is stick to your story that you want to die, and are going to do so. The person will have no choice but to admit you.
My second suggestion would be to tell your therapist that she/he hasn't done shit for you in all honesty, and that ASAP you're going to commit suicide, you don't care how you go, but you're going. If the law in your country is similar to the law in many countries, she/he will be obliged to have you admitted.
If you must go the other route, take one hundred milligrams of Valium, then as soon as you start feeling woozy, tell people who care you OD'd, and you regret it. Diphenhydramine will also have the same effect, it will make you feel woozy, then fall asleep. Just triple the dosage so you actually OD'd.

Just wanted to tell you, as someone who has genuinely tried to commit suicide and failed, psych hospitals and wards are not fun. Take care and good luck.

seems like you're aware of the risks and limitations, which others have pointed out. as implied by Jean4, to be admitted to a psych hospital in my country, i "just" need to convincingly affirm that i:
  • am actively suicidal
  • have a clear and accessible suicide plan, and tell psychiatric assessors what that plan is
  • have no hope of recovery; my only plan is to CTB
  • want help
basically, to convince the psychiatric assessors that i am a clear danger to myself.

NB: check the overdose profile of diphenhydramine to see if you're willing to risk the side-effects (e.g. hallucinations/delirium/seizures). i'd skip the alcohol -- in my country, psychs won't do any assessments until one's blood-alcohol level is zero anyway. i've had better luck being committed after engaging in self-harm (usually cutting). try not to do anything too rashly or anything that would leave you with long-term injuries, i.e. in a state worse than your present state.

i wish you the best of luck in finding the reprieve/help that you need.

Do you have a mental health facility you can check yourself into without having to take all the pills? When I was seeing therapist a long time ago she asked me if I needed a little break at a wellness center. I was wondering if there were any by you? You could also tell your therapist that she it totally off about the way you feel and you have been thinking King about suicide often. She can call a hospital then and maybe check you into one. You could even go to the police and tell them that you are suicidal. When a cop had to come to my house he would always ask me that. Of course I told him no because I don't want to be in a hospital. I've been in enough to last a lifetime for my physical condition. But those are some things you can do. Just be straight and upfront with your therapist and tell her you want to die. She would have to put you somewhere. One time my pain management doctor was going to report me as suicidal just because I started crying.

It's very hard for us to tell you the quantity of what pills to take. I've been on pain pills for 14 years and you would definitely need pain pills and benzos like Xanax or Valium to mix with them. I'm talking about morphine or delaudid or Percocet. But I wish you would change your mind about the pills because if you have never taken any before you don't know what they are going to do to you. Stop listening to your mother. You need to do what is right for you. What operation are you thinking of having that will solve your problems? This is your life and you are the only one that has to live it. I for one can't stand crazy religious fanatic and I apologise for saying that since it pertains to your mom. But this is your life. You need to be a little more independent because only you know what akes you happy and sad. I wish you could just be honest with people instead of taking pills. We aren't doctors so we just can't say take this and that. And idk how you would get what would be needed. Can't you try just being honest with everyone? I understand you want people to take your pain seriously. That is what we all want. So tell them. If you want to live at least for now and want help in a hospital, tell your therapist, parents, cops that you are suicidal and you have a plan that you are going to carry theough with. And that you are scared of yourself. But you're going to have to prepare yourself that you may be miserable in this facility and you will lose your freedom. But if it's the only place you think will help you than go for it. This is a very hard decision to make and it's hard to give advice to you about this problem.

I think that prison is better than hospital since in hospital you don't only loose your freedom to be and do what you want to do and be forced to do what you are told but you loose your freedom to your body and thoughts also. And in psych ward they can keep you as long as they want without any release day and prevent you escaping the torture by death. I don't get what good that could do to anybody.

Surely some countries have things better than others but you will have nothing to gain and everything to loose in my opinion.

If your drugs are not helping then you should try bigger dose or different drugs. And have good tests to find out what could cause your depression since it can be result of many illnesses for example lack of thyroid or other hormones.
Pain also can cause same symptoms than in depression, weening of most medicine if they are depleted or stopped, lack of sleep from sleeping problems like narcolepsy or sleep apnea that people don't often know they have etc.

I have no way to help you mate but I truelly hope that things will get better for you. There is recovery side in this forum for those who try to recover that could be beneficial for you. There you will get friends and loving support from people who care.

I will send all my love for you.
What mental help could he possibly find in prison?

Do you have a mental health facility you can check yourself into without having to take all the pills? When I was seeing therapist a long time ago she asked me if I needed a little break at a wellness center. I was wondering if there were any by you? You could also tell your therapist that she it totally off about the way you feel and you have been thinking King about suicide often. She can call a hospital then and maybe check you into one. You could even go to the police and tell them that you are suicidal. When a cop had to come to my house he would always ask me that. Of course I told him no because I don't want to be in a hospital. I've been in enough to last a lifetime for my physical condition. But those are some things you can do. Just be straight and upfront with your therapist and tell her you want to die. She would have to put you somewhere. One time my pain management doctor was going to report me as suicidal just because I started crying.

It's very hard for us to tell you the quantity of what pills to take. I've been on pain pills for 14 years and you would definitely need pain pills and benzos like Xanax or Valium to mix with them. I'm talking about morphine or delaudid or Percocet. But I wish you would change your mind about the pills because if you have never taken any before you don't know what they are going to do to you. Stop listening to your mother. You need to do what is right for you. What operation are you thinking of having that will solve your problems? This is your life and you are the only one that has to live it. I for one can't stand crazy religious fanatic and I apologise for saying that since it pertains to your mom. But this is your life. You need to be a little more independent because only you know what akes you happy and sad. I wish you could just be honest with people instead of taking pills. We aren't doctors so we just can't say take this and that. And idk how you would get what would be needed. Can't you try just being honest with everyone? I understand you want people to take your pain seriously. That is what we all want. So tell them. If you want to live at least for now and want help in a hospital, tell your therapist, parents, cops that you are suicidal and you have a plan that you are going to carry theough with. And that you are scared of yourself. But you're going to have to prepare yourself that you may be miserable in this facility and you will lose your freedom. But if it's the only place you think will help you than go for it. This is a very hard decision to make and it's hard to give advice to you about this problem.

I agree with what you are saying

What mental help could he possibly find in prison?

Ok bad comparison. In North people in prison get therapy and all drugs they need for free. But in many countries prison system don't work humanily.

I just don't get what more can mental hospitals offer than therapy and pills.
I just read your last posts. I'm sorry that I didn't read them before. I really think as others that you should check in hospital right away for the tumor. That could also cause your mental suffering. At least it causes some of it.

Tell the doctor the pain you feel physically and mentally to get the surgery and meds you need and mental care.

If you want to get to mental hospital then can't you call straight to there and tell you need to get there? At least in some countries they have acute number to nurses there who can let you in right away. Or call suicide hotline. They have to send ambulance for you and send you to mental hospital if you tell them you are going to kill yourself.
If you feel that you are really going to kill yourself from the pain you feel (which it seems is not what you want) then you really should go to hospital.

Could you move out of her house?
I could say that stop caring what your mother thinks but I know it's hard when living under the same roof. It's hard even for those who live on their own. Could you tell her that her criticism causes you constant stress and suffering and makes you want to die. Parents don't usually intentionally want to harm their kids so I think it would wake her up that what she is doing is not helping but harming you.

Yes the first sentences. But when I posted first I had read only first message in this thread. Guy has untreated tumor that affects his hormone production which definitely causes mental problems. Plus he is getting constant stress and criticism from his mother which can make people hate themselves and suffer daily from that too.

I feel like he thinks that he needs to do that to make his mother understand he needs help to get surgery and mental help. Though he said he has gotten therapy for long.

I think the main thing is a sense of safety. You are theoretically monitored, so you can't hurt yourself. Not always the reality, unfortunately.

I get that. I didn't know that he would need that but mental help and surgery for tumor.
Is there any private faculties that offer people more intense and loving care, normal living space. Daily support and all medical testing to know which drugs fit them the best.
