What will happen if I volunteer the information that I am suicidal? I was locked up before for being suicidal and at that time I wasn't. They treated me terribly and I was very frightened. Nobody would believe that I wasn't suicidal. Now I do feel suicidal so what can I expect if I tell them. Would they listen to me or someone else?
I know I need help but I am very frightened. Sometimes I just want to end it and then I think that there might be a chance of me getting better, but that's usually short lived. I am having a glimmer of hope after speaking to some people on here but I am really terrified of the mental health system. What should I do?
Please Help!

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 had three suicide attempts, psychosis, beatings and crap in hospital.Tell yr doctor and stop lacerating yr own psyche.
Tell your doc's, they will help you. You can do this :))
That had nothing to do with what you are doing here.You are already on the meds.You are on Lithium.
See the doctor.
Bite yr lip and take the trip.
You are just making yrself shit even more.Unnecessarily.
It will be ok.You aren't addressing the real problems.You are on Lithium.
You are suicidal.And you can say all these things and concerns to the doc rather than to many here who don't know the system in England.
We know GPs and psychs and PNS.
That's why I'm telling you straight.
Ask yr doc the meanings to Psychosis.Google it.Educate yourself first.
Otherwise carry on in unnecessary fear.
I was 28 when I got ill.I'm 38 now.
Get help now.
sorry.
GET HELP
say that I was determined to actually follow through.
The point is to get help!
Yes, there are valid concerns about the system.
Out of 3 hospitals I was in I'd recommend 2. Your doc will know whether a given facility is safe and effective. I never enjoyed hospital but then I don't think we're supposed to!
You are in some serious confusion right now which seems to be brought on by those who are suppose to be there to comfort and nurse you because they are payed to do that.
You need to stop the confusion and just go tell them. What's worse they'll treat you like you are anyhow. Get it over with and come back and give us the dirt on how it went. We want to know.
I find that if I am honest things do work better for me with my pdoc. Lying doesn't seem to go for us. I have always wondered if all pdocs look at all bipolars as natural born liars????
The ones that HAD voted for me to go into hospital were the ones that fucked up.They were suspended and a manageress was sacked.
If I could stay out of hospital amongst all that shit, anyone can.
The hospital is now closed.
Please get help.It will be alright.You just need to have a certain bravery.I'm sure you have because of the topics you touched on and the concerns you addressed.
It took me all day to decide on whether I should do this reply, too.The RACE issue being the main raw nerve.
Peace.
I'd definitely tell my pdoc. Work from there. We all (I think) have suicidal tendencies, once in awhile... but, we ride out the storm. It doesn't consume us.
See you pdoc and explain a few things. Lay your cards on the table.
