How suicidal do I need to be to go to hospital?

I can't cope. I can only cope if I just lie in bed. Being up and about triggers huge anxiety and hopelessness.

I keep fantasising about cutting my throat. Rationally though, I know I can make myself not do this, at least for now. I have been bingeing on food and I keep having the thoughts about cutting, maybe not my throat at first but I want to cut my arms or legs. I want to feel something sharp to calm down and if that doesn't work I'm not sure what to do. Except I'm planning on going to the shop to buy more food to binge on, so does that mean I'm sort of in control?

I can't believe my life will ever get better. I'm too far gone. There's nobody who can help. I did get an earlier psychiatrist appointment but it's three weeks away and there's not going to be anything she can do.

There is nothing that can be done because I am a waste of space and the sooner I die the better, frankly. I'm just such a procrastinator I can't make myself do it. I know I should, but am reluctant.

My head is a total mess and I don't know what to do. I'm supposed to have two job interviews now this week and I want to die because I'm exhausted. I feel happy I got the job interviews but it's like they are for somebody else in a movie and the day to day stuff is my reality and I can't do it anymore.

Hi there Isthis,
Sorry to see you're still having a tough time.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources - here. You can also go to the Samaritans' website here, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.
