Okay so usually I just want to burn not kill myself. But after a conversation I had with my husband who doesn't want to support me with what he has done and now I want to really take my gun and shot myself. I am fed up with feeling like shit. And I am struggling to not go up and use my gun.
Any suggestions because it has gotten worse since I posted ' Last night' I need help, because it is one thing to burn another one to die. And honestly I don't want to die. So any advice would be helpful. Also advice on what I should do with my daughter if I need professional help. If I took her with me to the doctors what would they do?

I'm not sure what they would do with your daughter, I've never been through that wiht a child. But you just said "I don't want to die" which should in a weird way answer your question. You're just upset right now, you don't want to die. But if it does get any more serious, GET HELP. What they do with your daughter is in her best interest so if they take her from you just know that it is to protect her and as a mother that should be what you really want

How is taking her daughter away..right?. there are many mothers out there that have kids and are on meds. but taking her daughter away from her? have the daughter stay with family..NOT take them away. that is a very cruel thing to say.

Best thing for you to do is drop your daughter off with a safe person. Go to the hospital and ask for a mental hralth evaluation. Tell them the thoughts you have been having. They will hopefully be able to ge you into a 5 day impatiant program, where you get to see a therpaist. Take classes on coping skills and life skills. It would be the best thing for you right now. I know it sounds scary but you could stand to gain a lot from this.

I agree with shanepdx...I have two kids..young ones and they never took my babies away..just drop your daughter off to family or a close friend and seek councling and they can also set you up with group counling which I have done myself. but they will not take your daughter away as long as you are not harming or hurting yourself or your daughter in front of her. but they wont take her away so dont worry about that. hugs..if you need to chat, I am here for you

It was not a cruel thing to say at all. It was just the reality of it. If she goes and kills herself, her daughter doesn't need to be around when it happens. I didn't say she needs her daughter taken away, but it is a possibilty because child services will look at the worst possible outcome. If she gets on meds and is stable, yes she should be fine. But don't let her go into it blind. It is a possibility. Like I said, if they take her it is because they don't want her daughter to get hurt. Not that she doesn't deserve her child.
