I keep on thinking about death

All I can think about is death, I honestly don't know why I should even try anymore. The voices in my head are telling me to hurt myself but I can't hurt myself right now. I don't want to be here and I'm at the point where I think I need someones help or to go to a hospital or something because I can handle this. A while ago someone told me to go to a pysch ward but I don't know what to do (I'm safe).

Thank you for the advice I really appreciate it. I’ll call the number and see what happens.

Hi lily, I did just that, called ,y local hospital and found it lifesaving.

If it takes a while to get put through to the right person don't worry

It's usually just to do with where u live, certain hospitals are for ppl in certain suburbs, so they might connect u to the one for Ur suburb. Good luck. It's OK to call the hospital, sometimes it's what's needed.

Thank you again for the advice. I haven't gotten a chance to ring that number and I have been busy and I'm a little scared to be honest to call.

Hi lily, wandering what scared you and what u fear might happen.

I don’t know what to expect or what could happen. I don’t know what the person on the other end of the phone line might say. I’m scared if my parents were to find out that I’m struggling right now and how they could react to me reaching out for help.

Hi, they're usually nice enough, would be a nurse or a social worker probably.

Ur parents don't have to know u are reaching out, it's judt enquiries.

One step at a time.

Hi lily,

Just a little tip althiugh it'd a 24 hour service, I think k they might be friendlier or more responsive if u call during the day

Sometimes at night they are so busy they become a but frazzled which might be felt as rude if ur already going through it

Okay, thank you for the advice.
