cat_eye answered Wednesday September 21 2005, 2:30 pm: Whew, I was in that same position! I think you should definitely call your therapist again and have him/her tell your parents that this is something that needs to be done. If this can't happen, then call a hospital that's near you. If you feel that you absolutely cannot keep yourself safe, call 911. I'm serious. They'll bring you to the ER, where they can admit you to a psychiactric unit.

NicoleAlese answered Wednesday September 21 2005, 1:32 am: well i was in the same position .. what you have
to do is yes ask your therapist if they could
get you help .. they can ! trust me if they dont
then show them what you do .. and they will ..
im goin to be located in a hospital shortly my
therapist told me .. cause i do the same thing ..
you know what else .. maybe telling your parents
i just had to do that today .. what you do is say
that you havent been thinkin good thoughts about
life and you need help not just a therapist that
you have been having horrible thoughts and goin
through with them ..
well i hope i helped answer your question ..
ask me more i will be glad to give advice -Nikky [ NicoleAlese's advice column | Ask NicoleAlese A Question ]

Razhie answered Monday September 19 2005, 11:21 pm: Because hospitals are not equipped to help people who cut. That is not their function. Therapists, crisis centers and some other live-in centers are equipped to help you far better. Unless you a bleeding to death right at this moment, the hospital is not there to help you. No one there will be interested in talking to you because hospitals primary interest is not in your mental health but your physical
Talk to your therapist. They are concerned with your mental health and they are the one who is capable of making recommendations about your care.
Don’t get obsessed with going to hospital to fix yourself. There are not quick fixes to your problems; you will have to work hard, talk and listen to your therapist in order to improve.
HowYouDooin answered Monday September 19 2005, 11:01 pm: becouse they probobly think that your overreacting? parents usualy know when things are very bad and will probobly do the right thing.
you do have to realise that the hospitol visit is going to cost a lot of money and may be totaly unneeded
shake answered Monday September 19 2005, 10:45 pm: Becase they view you as a stupid whiny child. No, I'm not being 'mean' I'm keeping it truthful. Just have an open mind on what they think of. [ shake's advice column | Ask shake A Question ]
