Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
So for the passed two nights I have been having these really really bad suicidal thoughts. Last night was pretty terrible too. My head was pounding and I just could not fall asleep. The thoughts are mostly like "I just want to die" or "I don't want to be here" or "All this stress would be gone if I was gone" but the thing is....I have no intentions to really ya know, do it. I mean once while on the top balcony of our motel on vacation I looked down and a little voice was saying "jump" but I would never. I don't know what to do. My therapist knows but I don't think she cares and I'm scared to like go to the hospital and I don't know if I should even go. Is it that serious? I have no idea. Someone help please.....
Please hang on--I have training as a counselor. I think that you should call your counselor and let her know that this is an emergency situation.
Is there someone that you could call to come and spend time with you until you come up with a crisis plan?
Many areas have a mental health center with 24 hr. crisis services, if not you can search on this site and call a crisis line. If you have any sense that you cannot stop the thoughts and urges please 1. call your therapist 2. Call someone to come and stay with you/ go stay with family or friends 3. call a crisis line 4. if none of these work please go to a local emergency room.
I'll check back in on you in a few.
Please do feel free to pm or friend me.
I am here for you.
