Called Crises And Still Feel Aweful

[soulsearcher]

I finally got up the courage to reach out for extra help and I still feel no relief.

I couldn't admit to them that I was having SI and thoughts of self harm because of feeling worried they will take my kids away and put me in the hosptal. I haven't slept well in weeks, waking up to flashbacks. My anxiety is way high and can't seem to relax. I feel I am trapped and not sure what I should do anymore. The last thing I want to do is make my kids sad because we have been through so much.

I am scared not sure what to do next? Any suggestions? If your having SI thoughts do they make you stay in hospital?

Relief will come, its hard I know but when you continue to fight you will get your relief, it may not be as consistent at first, but it will, it may not happen right away but it will. Know that. I always remind myself that I feel this way but I will not always feel this way, I will find my moments and times of peace again.

They will ask you if you have a plan. That's usually the deciding factor. Suicidal ideation alone normally doesn't get you hospitalized. Stay strong. Get the help you need no matter what the cost.

Are you having thoughts of suicidal ideation or self injury? SI stands for both.

Either way, you won't be hospitalized just for the thoughts. You will only be hospitalized if you are a danger to yourself or others, ie saying "I WILL hurt myself/another" as opposed to just having the thoughts of wanting to die.

If you go to the emergency room, then you may be hospitalized for having the thoughts as they do an overall assessment.
