She will survive as long as they know what she took.

@Brick In The Wall take a shot for me. I need it.

I don't know if she got to a phone

Oh I've been drinking. This kind of shit never gets easier. It's why I don't spend too much time in the Suicide Discussion forum.

well.... we may never know then..

Time is ticking. 15 minutes or less until she's unconscious. I really hope she did call.

 

[Jean4]

I will let you know if she writes me back. I don't know if she got to a phone or if there was anyone in her home.

Is this real?
Art therapy, I mean. You go to a shrink and they tell you to draw your feelings, or some shit?

15 is approximate of course... and she didn't live alone... but yeah, who knows when they were showing up or whatever.

 

[BlueWidow]

Please let her have gotten to a phone!
Please let her be getting help!

Yep! It is therapy as you can put your feelings down in a sense. Artist draw things, writers write their things, it's kinda how things work--it is stress relieving.

Maybe what an hour for intervention? If she passed out somewhere I hope someone finds her soon...

You also use it for people who have difficulty expressing themselves.

It was my art therapist, not my psychiatrist

 

[Jean4]

I'm still waiting to see the doc. Appointment was 11:45. It's now 12:30

That's what @Squiddy needs. Is she taking art therapy? Is that what that collage was above, a collage of her goals? Was that her art therapy?

 

[Carina]

I normally have a mammogram, it's at say 4:30, I get there early, I end up having it at like 4:10 !

Good strategy. When it's that late they're all just ready to get out of there, so they'll probably take you in faster. Or if you have the first appointment of the day, which is what I usually try to do so that I could just get it over with and not have to worry about it for the rest of the day.

 

[Brick In The Wall]

We're about 22 minutes in now. Any word Jean?

Yep! Plus where I get it it's at the hospital, but it's at the women's center within the hospital (so it's 'separate', not a normal checkin), they have walk-ins, too, so really it's a "one person done--ok who's next in the list" so they are sometimes just standing around waiting for the next appointment to arrive!

ever have the thought sometime where you almost wish that if you changed your mind after, you knew you could trust someone to have your address, just so they could call EMS for you?

Above was a vision goals chart
________
Just spoke with my psychiatrist and he talked about compliance again.

Is that good or bad what the psychiatrist talked about?

 

[Jean4]

I'm being taken in.

 

[Squiddy]

It's in the middle. He just wants me to comply because I told him I'll miss my meds sometimes.

I hadn't really thought of that because I don't expect to change my mind, but I suppose it's probably a good idea. You never know what's gonna happen in that moment. You may be 100% sure and then drink it and then suddenly realize that you made a huge mistake. That's why it's best to be 100% sure that you're ready to die before you drink it, but as I said, you don't know what's going to happen in that moment.

I'm sure that could apply to other methods too where you're not drinking anything. I guess you'd have to come up with how long you have to abort everything before it becomes too late.

Yeah, I mean that's exactly what I've thought with the being sure myself beforehand (granted I also have a thought of if I changed my mind--too bad, I screwed up, deserve it).... but yeah, just thinking of like others at times in a 'what if' scenario. But then I also think 'what if' that person feels too guilty and calls because they know and can't stand by and screw it up. I just think of a lot of things like maybe things could be a good idea? but never know....

 

[Squiddy]

True. Could lock me up in the hospital.

This is all very true. But SI is a bitch. You might think you're 100% but once you drink that shit down you're liable to change your mind right quickly.
