What happens after a failed attempt

[m1v]

After getting treated at the hospital, do they blast you with questions about your actions? Where will I go, where will I end up, an asylum? Or I'm just going to be extremely supervised at home..

Both sound horrible, if that were to happen I would definitely need to hide a lethal substance as a post-back-up plan. I saw people mentioning that they were getting the help they needed, but aren't you just even worst? I wonder where their determination is coming from so suddenly.

The outcome might depend on your method of CTB. With more traumatic methods, they are obligated to ask questions and send you to facilities that are equipped to deal with that. Speaking from experience, the "psychiatric unit" is a load of bullshit and I was treated more like an animal than a kid that just shot himself. I think keeping a backup plan is a great idea. In my opinion, the only thing worse than being suicidal is having to live after a failed attempt. You can avoid being bombarded with questions and being sent to the hospital by simply choosing a method with a high success rate. Much less risky than trying an "easier" method, with a lower success rate.

I'm starting to doubt the SN method (chosen method). I feel like I'll even throw up my first glass and even my second glass. Might make 3 just in case..
I really agree though, there's nothing more worst than surviving a ctb attempt. There are a couple of people deciding to repair and I wanna know their secret to this motivation.

It seems like a lot of people recently have failed with SN. Not quite sure why though. If that is the method you're going with, make sure you aren't getting it from a dodgy source and triple-check your measurements. There are tons of threads on here about SN that could probably tell you the best place to get it. I do hope with all of my heart that no matter what method you go through with, you have no complications.

I'll keep your information in mind. Thank you for your kind words, I wish the best for you too, whatever you're wishing for. I'll make 3 glasses just in case I puke my second.

in my experience, after a failed or aborted attempt (depending on the severity of the situation), you first end up with physical medical intervention and monitoring in emergency (or sometimes icu). after you are stable they will send a social worker and eventually a psychiatrist to speak to you, you most likely will be admitted to inpatient in the same hospital, or, due to a lack of beds, you will be transferred elsewhere. there you will be put on a 72-hour hold, where you receive crisis-intervention care, you're deemed a danger to yourself so you have to be monitored (again this depends on the severity of the situation). after this you join basically the "general population" of the psychiatric unit, where you are to participate in group therapy, individual therapy/psychiatry, and receive medication prescriptions. there is also leisure time, spent individually (reading, drawing, or writing in your room) and as a group (movie and tv time, snack time, playing board games-- in my youth rehab unit we had a cooking group once a week). once you are deemed stable, doctors may see you eligible for passes where you can go off the unit, however, if you try and run away before discharge they will come to look for you, so don't bother with that it's totally pointless to try. passes are tests in a way to see if you are stable enough for discharge. when passes start to come, you know you're getting out soon, so fucking them up just means more time inside. once you are ready for discharge you are given options for referrals to therapists and outpatient support programs. this whole process can take from 1 week-multiple months depending on the severity of the situation, and your honesty.

some facilities are good, and some are quite bad. it can be bad because of patients and/or staff.

one edit: during 72-hour hold is where you receive the most intensive psychiatric care. this is where they assess your needs out of the inpatient program.

After a failed attempt come the consequences of it and the explanations to those close to you, and it can be a great opportunity to truly express to those close to you what you really feel.
A suicide attempt will always be questioned, remember that society is hypocritical on the subject, therefore do not expect easy conversations because you expose them to the truth of the corrupt society in which we live and that the real evil is the social system, we what we think or have in suicide we only see that and we don't want to adapt to madness and that bothers them, so calm down, rest for now and live what happens, you'll see changes because of it

There are a couple of people deciding to repair and I wanna know their secret to this motivation.

It would be interesting to know what the "secret" of change is, I hope someone shares some experience of this type, and it may be that the answer is simple, simply realizing what life is and what happens to them

It really depends on a lot of factors: If you are physically injured/disabled from the failure, if the police think you're delirious, what the laws are like in your area, if you are in legal custody of others, past medical history, if they think "you're a danger to yourself or others" (which is so vague they can slap it on you if they want no matter what.) So much contributes to it.
When I was a child, I was manipulated into telling the truth about my first attempted suicide and the mental health crisis team told my parents, who subsequently put me on suicide watch and didn't let me do basically anything for ages.
When I accidentally overdosed enough that it would've killed me several years ago, the ambulance workers refused my wishes to be left to die because they thought I was too delirious and not capable of making the decision rationally (despite I had written it down long before, but whatever.)
When I attempted again as an adult though, I was forcefully stopped by random passers-by who called the cops, who then took me to the hospital where I waited to be cleared and then my boyfriend took me home; the people who cleared me were asking me extremely uncomfortable questions but I told them what they wanted to hear so I could go home faster. I wasn't sectioned because I agreed to go voluntarily. The police didn't care I lots of controlled substances on me, they even gave me it back after searching my car; and as a last ditch effort I took them all at once at the hospital itself.

So, it's essentially up to the discretion of whoever finds you how bad it gets, assuming you don't end up with permanent physical damage anyway.
The only universal thing I've found from it is more trauma to deal with.

cooking

This world is so full of shit like are we gonna get better from cooking with some strangers?

Defintely depends on your method. I myself, and I know others, who have not gone through or have been unsuccessful with a method without going to a hospital, being found by friends or family, etc.

I remember I almost CTB with my old method, but mentally it was too unbearable to go through. That's why I switched my method to SN- so I can't chicken out at the last minute. But anyways, I pulled out at the last minute. Had ti catch my breath and stare at myself in the morrión for a few minutes.

Afterward, I called my parents and chatted with them, took an edible, a long ass nap and watched a documentary on Netflix. It was eerily peaceful.

I've never been to hospital for failing my attempts. Maybe it's just the people around me, but it's mostly just brushed under the rug. Even my psychologist didn't send me in after I told her I intended to try hanging again. So it's completely possible you'll fail, no one will find out/care, and everything will continue as normal.

to clarify: this group in particular was apart of a youth addiction program. it was a group intended to teach young addicts life skills, and nutrition. most of us were living off of hungry mans and mcdonalds.

we would vote on what to cook, then one of us would go off unit with a nurse to grocery shop, where we would price-match and coupon any items we could to show us we could get it for cheap. then we'd cook our own dishes together, i'm not complaining bc it was the one night a week where we didn't have to eat shite hospital food.

It really depends. At least in the US, they can only force you into hospitalization if you present a danger to yourself or others, so you can play it to avoid inpatient quite easily. I had a failed attempt in January, and I dodged inpatient. I live alone and everything's pretty much the same, except for the treatment to which I've agreed. Basically, unless you're too open about symptoms or a minor, your life changes as much as you want it to. You can tell who you want, and do whatever you feel you need, but I'm pretty lucky in that I have no family in this state (other than my sister, and she doesn't know), and only 3 friends know about it.

Basically anything shitty is going to come largely from family and friends.
