So sorry that you are in so much distress, Sapphire. Has anything happened in the facility that made you upset and wanting to leave ?
I am worried about you. Have you checked the BeyondNow suicide safety plan (top left of this page in the Get support section) ? It is good to read that you want to get better. It is not Life that those of us who think/have thought about bowing out want to end ...but the pain. And there is a different (and not so permanent) approach to that.

Starwolf, I have not yet read it but will do now. I think it was all just because i could not sleep and had very little sleep. I also attended a stress management meeting which i think triggered me and after that i made a plan and acted on that plan. I am here now and have had a good nights sleep thanks to hypnosis. I only woke up once throughout the night but did not feel terrified like usual and went back to sleep and slept right through to 6 am.
I have an appointment today with the manager to see if they will let me stay in this place or if they decide im too high risk and make me leave. If they kick me out im not sure what will happen. I am also supposed to have a home visit from a crisis psychologist today but not sure whats happening with that. Also have my psychologist that visits this facility.
I will let you all know what happens. If i stay or if i go. Im not really sure what is the best decision for me at this stage.

I'm relieved to know that you are safe and in a better frame of mind. No wonder sleep deprivation has been used as a form of torture...it does can play havoc with your brain !
Please let us know how you go and what has been decided. If it is decided that you cannot stay where you are now, it means they will want you to be in a place better suited to your present needs. It is good that this will be discussed with you and that your psychologist can also be involved. It may not always feel like it but it sounds like you are in good hands.

Car crashes are scary. Ive been in a few now and have wrecked my confidence in driving.
Its nice to be home but im a bit worried about SH & suicidal thoughts. I dont know how to stop them.
Started the intensive day therapy today. I dont see the point in it or how it would even help me. I feel like i dobt belong there. I dobt belong anywhere.

That's good news, Sapphire. Though returning home must be a bit scary. A lot has happened just recently so it is normal to feel unsettled at first.
It is good that you will still be monitored on a daily basis. This way, you can benefit from the care you need while being in a familiar environment.
Let us know how you go.
