Inpatient and looking for a way out (suffocation with bag)

[darkblueish]

Hello everyone,

I am very new here. I am currently inpatient and due to leave on Friday, but the reason why I came here (being very suicidal) is still so very present. I am on a so-called heightened watch where they take your shoe laces and cables and stuff and check on you every half hour (which they do not). I still have one cable I forgot to turn in and my plastic bag (from a grocery store) and I am wondering how likely it would be for me to succeed and if anything would help (like a wet cloth).

I know it's not ideal and chances of success or not high but I am getting so desperate. I want something quick and easy and I know hanging is probably the best but I don't have anything I could hang it from, neither at home.

The best thing to do in inpatient is to play along and get out. Attempts are rarely successful as they do frequent checks. If you are caught, you will just extend your stay and possibly lose what little freedoms you have.

Participate in therapy. Tell them you feel better. Follow the rules. Get out.

I really understand just wanting to be free from the suffering of this torturous existence, I hope you find the freedom you search for, I wish you the best.

I agree. It will be much easier if the system believes you are compliant and healing. Yes, it's deception, but these types of tactics are constituted. I speak from experience that keeping the eye on the prize is the way forward.

Whenever you feel you are losing your nerve doing the above, remember what brought you to this point. You have to get out and lose some of the surveillance to be successful. If anything, you can comfort yourself through this process with how ineffective the mental healthcare system is with handling complex problems. Whatever you decide to do, do it for you. Always.
