You can go to the nearest hospital emergency room and show them what you have written to us and they will examine and care for you. You can also call 911 and tell the call taker you need help. Tell the call taker what you have told us. Help will be sent to you and they will take you to the hospital.
You are crying out for attention by writing to us. Just why this is so I can't say I am not a doctor. Maybe you know the reason and maybe you are not sure. It could be your depressed about something. Whatever the reason is you don't need to hurt yourself to get the attention your asking for.
So please don't hurt yourself. Either go to the hospital yourself or call 911. As A first responder with the fire department I have been on numerous calls such as this. We don't take chances and we don't make diagnoses, that's for the doctors to do. We make sure you have not done any physical harem to yourself, treat whatever harm you may have done and transport you to the hospital for the doctors to treat.
I would prefer you call 911 that way I know you will be treated properly, and transported the proper hospital. I also hope the doctors are able to help you with whatever is bothering you.

You obviously want help and you need it so go get it. Trying to get peoples attention never really works that way. You need this and you need someone to talk to so go talk to a counselor and figure everything out. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

They will admit you and you will talk to one of their psychiatrists they will evaluate you and might send you off to a psychiatric hospital. I've been to a psychiatric hospital before cuz I was harming myself, and it is one of the worst places to be. So I would suggest you rather go see a therapist and discuss these issues with her. I swear you really don't wanna end up in a place like that. It's horrible.
You do need to get help, if you feel like you wanna be hospitalized then you can be hospitalized, they do help you there, but it's not worth it all the suffering that comes along with it. Seeing a therapist and discussing your issues is better, and maybe go see a doctor, you may be suffering from depression. Your therapist will guide you.

What you need to do is re-read the question and answer that was submitted and ask yourself if it doesn't sound like you are very sick or see it how someone else would read your words.
Next take yourself to the nearest hospital and e brutally honest. Tell the intake people at the ER exactly what you told us about wanting attention, wanting to harm yourself just to be hospitalized etc.
They will have you meet with a psychiatrist who will treat you and turn your life around so that you can realize you were in a very dark place and of harm to yourself. You're in crisis even if you cannot see it as none of this is normal and is rather a desperate cry for help. Please get it. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
