I had to drive myself to hospital yesterday because was feeling suicidal. Wanted to be put in hospital. There were no beds. They offered me State Hospital instead, would have to go in police car with handcuffs and be committed by State. People there are 4 in room and mostly schizophrenic, definately delusional and psychotic. Mostly street people. I asked my 78 year mother to drive me. Had excuse she was playing bridge. Have 2 grown daughters and mother called them. They never called me back. They say they can't deal with it. That's my whole family I have zero support. What am I supposed to do when I feel like I am alone and abandoned by family because they say they can't deal with me. The feeling of abandonment from own family is enough to want to stay estranged, but then I will be totally alone. Don't get along with mother. Kids can't deal. What to do?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I live alone, and the last time I felt suicidal, nobody really wanted to know. I took myself to the hospital.
There was a lot of dysfunction and abuse growing up.
I don't associate with them and I have 9 brothers and sisters and close to a 100 relatives that live in the city I am living in. Hard to avoid.
Pluck, isn't it true that even nothing is something? In fact, nothing may be the best thing to offer since it's lightweight and takes up little space. And it's so easy to reciprocate...
