Been depressed for years. On medication.
Had a few attempts at Suicide, latest one was 3 years ago and I only just survived, when released from hospital (was in icu) had crisis team.
Since then my physical health has been poor and after it being blamed on mental health it was a relief when I do have a physical problem and not being told it's all in my head.

Anyway. Feeling shit. Suicude thoughts are constant. I've children and they are the only thing stopping me but I'm worried I'll do something stupid. I need help but not just crisis team or GP again.
How can I get myself admitted?
I've pushed everyone away from me and spend all my free time crying/thinking of ways to die/ researching suicude techniques.

Sounds silly but I don't want to see a health care professional because it will go in my notes and my pain will be put as psychological again and I've fought years to detach from that and be believed it's real.

I'm 25, want to die, chronically ill yet on the outside everyone sees me as a happy bubbly person.

Feel so guilty feeling like this

Sorry this is all rambling and don't know if it will make sense.

To sum up is there anyway I can be an inpatient on a ward until this passes? I don't trust myself not to do anything.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

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. You can also go to the Samaritans website, 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.
