Afraid to call for help

I cut my right wrist and never intended to cut so deep, yet have and lost a bit of blood. I am afraid to call 911 even though I know I should

 

call 911...


you need to be around.

 

I fear that and what to tell my folks

 

this earn me three days in the mental hospital

 

you still havent called 911?

 

Hurry the fuck up and call.

These past few months are evidence you may need some help. Not to mention your self inflicted wound.

Please call someone.

 

no I have not called , I know i should, but am afraid of might occur, I am affraid of not knowing

 

you're not online... i hope this means you called. a mental hospital is not that bad... it's a nice little break from lifes madness.

hope you're okay.

be selfish when it comes to yourself and your mental health.. i give you permission to be!


:grouphug:

 

hospitals are for people that want to get better..

you can always say you caught it on a nail moving something.. get fixed and go home..

if you have some super glue, fix it yourself..

 

My ex girlfriend cut her wrists once, tried to super glue it with Gorilla Glue.

I kicked her out of my car on the freeway when she started doing it.

 

super glue in the hardware store isnt sterile but it will work on bleeding cuts..

 

i hope everything is okay!

 

If I were you I would look for a social detox type place that accepts people not only on the terms of medical detox but also on the terms that they have issues with depression/cutting, etc. I spent 8 days in a state run detox near memphis and I was there for drugs. But that's not to say I don't have the other issues as well. I used to be a cutter/burner and burned myself very badly months ago (with a hot knife). I came out of that place with alot of "tools" that I'd never learned from my family (who don't have "issues") and I'm actually using these learned tools. It's helped me more than anything else and the break from everyday life was great too. But if you do go, don't be like me and leave against doc's orders with a hot guy/girl. haha

 

Sorry it tookso long to get back I had a couple trips to the ER and a trip to the mental hospital, but I am doing much better. My doc put me on 200 mg of lamictal and 10 mg of abilify and both are working wonders in combination with therapy.

 

we're all here for you if you need someone to talk with. :grouphug: glad to know you're doing well now!

 

I know it's dificult but if you need help you just need to bite the bullet and ask for it no matter how scary or embarrassing it is. I just found this thread so haven't been following your story but I'm so glad that you've got help. That was the first step on what I hope is the road to recovery. I wish you well!

 

Happy to hear you got help.

 

The best news I have herd all day! Good for you, and I hope everything improves from here on out.

 

Feel for you man. I was depressed and suicidal for most of my life, till 2 years ago... Lucky for me I was to scared to cut myself, but I did try to kill myself multiple times. (Often multiple times a day.) But I was in such a depressed state I could not even get the will to do it properly.

Take up an extreme sport, like skateboarding, surfing, or something. Preferably something with lots of speed. The adrenalin is great, and the endorphins from the physical exertion is the same as those you get when you cut yourself. Not to mention, with a death wish, you end up doing some crazy shit! Surfing saved me from depression, and skateboarding used to be the only reason I still lived before I moved to the ocean.

 

might i ask what sparked this depression?
or is that too personal..
