Are you in the UK? If you are you could always try ringing NHS direct. They might be able to put you in touch with an emergency dr in your area. If your in the US things might be a bit different to over here but maybe just going to a hospital & explaining that you've tried dr's & you need help they might do something at least. I hope everything works out for you.

First things first -- take a deep breath!!! and let it out......

Now.. as to your actual problem.... there is a lot of things that you can do for yourself to stay calm while you are searching for the help you need. Try to keep things in perspective, and remind yourself that what is happening in you right now is not the end of the world and that you can and will get through it.

I know that oftentimes it gets overwhelming and you feel as if the only hope you have is medication and a psych ward... but this is not necessarily so. Obviously, if you think that this is what you need, you should continue seeking the help you need.. but you even mentioned in your post that you think you might be being extreme with this - that suggests to me that to some degree you feel that you overexaggerate.. whether this is true or not, I do not know, only you can answer that... but obviously if you suspect yourself of overreacting you have some degree of reality testing going on, which is a good thing. You are keeping your issue in perspective and reminding yourself that it is not the most horrible thing you have ever dealt with / will deal with. Good.

With the level of self awareness that you are displaying, I personally think that what you might find more useful than medication and a psych ward is a good series of sessions of talk therapy. If there are any community health clinic in your area I would suggest going there to seek help.. they offer all sorts of professional help to suit the specific need of their clients. You will be able to find the most appropriate type of therapeutic approach for you.. which, in my opinion, based on what I have noted from your post, would probably be some form of cognitive-behavioural therapy. Many people are not quite ready to take on the responsibility that comes along with that type of therapy, but I suspect that you are. I think you have reached a point of maturity where you will be able to handle putting in the effort necessary to make that type of therapy successful,.

Hope you find what you are looking for... keep on keepin on :)

I am not exagerating but I thought going to hospitals was 4 suicidals. I have reached my snap point 4 sure. I would like to end my life but I have my reasons 4 not. I really cant deal anymore. E.R. or pyche ward for me by the end of the day. any more oppinions? thank you all for taking the time to answer.

Im so sorry to hear you feel like this.Can you call your doctor? or any one close to you.Sometimes you just need someone to be their for you.Keep posting we are here.xxx

Your not suicidal, great, means your going to get there, and the help you need. When we are desperate, can run ahead of ourselfs, been there done it!
Where are you, USA or UK, or elswhere?
As already adviced, if in UK call NHS Direct
Good luck

Do what you have to do tpp keep yourself safe.

I just got my health insurance last week and havnt met my pcp yet. I have nobody I can talk too. Thats part of the reason I am so desperate now. Honestly talking isnt going to help either.

go to the E.R. that is how i got the help that i needed and i was not suicidal either. (((hugs)))...

Well I spent over 6 hours waiting to see a doctor in the e.r., 5 minute conversation and the doctor prescribed xanex and refered to someone to see. I am glad I went. It is a start.

Glad to hear you went and were referred to see someone. I wish you all the best on your road to feeling better! {{{Hugs}}}

~R~

Glad to hear you went..Now get yourself a doc or therapist or whatever, and you'll get better and better.

Sorry they didn't give you more time talking to the doctor, but make sure as you get things sorted, that you always communicate to your providers and make them listen...ask them if they heard you, stuff like that.
Best of luck and PEACE.
