If you're in such a rough patch right now that if a doc knew everything he'd put you on suicide watch....then may be that actually IS what you might need right now.
If it's more than you can handle or bear right now, it's okay to let go and get help, friend. I'm talking as someone who's been there (literally, there in the hospital) -- maybe you could benefit from just getting off the merry-go-round of anquish and emotional exhaustion for a spell, so you could gather strength and get help. [In my own case, it's only when my life fell down around my ankles that I was able to reconstruct a different, better and easier life]
The decision is, of course, entirely yours, but please know that we are here and pulling for you. If you want to, you can call a warm line (the numbers are listed in the "recommendations" section at the top of this page) -- which is just a place to call with a supportive person at the other end of the line (but for people who aren't ready to call or don't need the level of an actual crisis "hotline"). maybe just talking everything out could help you decide a next step.
And of course, keep posting here. You're not alone!
