Well drugstore, great band? anyone know what I am on about?
secondly, should I go to hospital, I have been suicidal for ages (on and off since easter). Lately its terrible. Its all I can do to get myself NOT to end it all. Its tottaly doing my head in. its totaly doing my head in. (Enphasis)... i never could spel.
I see no job/ no freinds/ no hope 4 the future. And I am logicaly starting to agree with the depressed side of me.
How the hell do you get in to hospital, just walk to casualty (ER, [great prog]) Say ' good evening, how are you? I know there are people out here that accidents have happened to, but if you dont take me in an accident will happen to me'?????
Or 'Hello I want to die, so I came to the place you make people live!!'
Or (my personal fave, If I had the guts for the showmanship) Take and overdose at the reseption and take a seat, and fight as long as you can to not be treated (could be fun as long as you never hit anyone).
except you problably would get sectioned and loose some rights, hey you have always got the lefts right lefts?

MC,
Get to a hospital. Just be honest, as you have been here. Show them your post if you need to.
As much as I'm not fond of hospitals, it has been of benefit to simply ask for help. I contact my pDoc and he's very good at knowing when I need to be there. Agonizing depression is not something one should have to bear, especially alone. Wish I knew more about the UK system so I could really be of help.
Hang on. There is hope. I have to keep reminding myself of that.Blessings,
Chris A.

I'm presuming that you're in the UK form your name??!! Anyway, most hospitals have an emergency psychiatric service that you can contact - loook int he yellowpages, or even ring directory enquiries and ask for the EPS at your local hospital. All you have to do when you ring them is tell them you think you are going to commit suicide and they will talk you through everything else, so there is no need to worry about being able to do anything. They are generally wonderful and really will help you. Rememebr there is also the Samaritans... I talked over my hospitlisation with them and they were good, and offered to let me go to their office for help.
Please, please rty and do this. I ahve included my email in this message, and if I can help in any way, please email me.
Please call the EPS.. OK?
Nikki
ps - Yeah, heard of the band.. thney're ok...

Hi,
I recently almost admitted myself to hospital in London, seem to be hanging on.
You can telephone your doc and get emergency admittance.
Take care, kinda know what you're going through.

Hi fellow Geek!
It was terrified about going into hospital, an din the end only told close friends and family that I knew would understand. One thing that *really* helped me was treating like "a holiday for my head".. I didn't have to worry about any of the normal stresses of life while I was in there and it was a good break in that way.
Good luck

hi,
yup I remember your postings in the back issues, when i wasnt an 'active' member of the group. you seemed worried as hell. one fear i have is that (this is a joke) THAT THERE ARE CRAZY PEOPLE THERE! please belay my fears by telling me that its a nicer place than the scenes in 12 monkeys (or think victorian)
I am sorry if anyone reading this takes the joke badly-in advance as someone might

Yeah, there were some real "nutters" tehre, but they were all harmless, and I found it quite amusing to be with them, and quite interesting really. certainly made me feel a hit more sane than when I went in!!
They're nothing like those victorian polaces, and you'll probably be allowed out and about whilst in too, nit just be stuck in on your own the whole time!!
Good luck Geek, and hang on in there..
