I'm suicidal AF. My doctor in hospital is not provinding any support or help. 
What can I do to improve my situation or help myself?

I’m sorry. Is this really that offensive? Didn’t mean to annoy people.
I’m just really struggling.

[Zoe7]

Are you in hospital now @Former-Member ? Maybe talk to a nurse and let them know exactly how you are feeling.

[Former-Member]

Yes in hospital.
They know. They don’t care as I’m just a bpd. I don’t count and I’m not worth care. I need to somehow help myself. I don’t know how.

Reaching out here is a good start - it says to me that you do want to help yourself and need support to do so @Former-Member 

[Former-Member]

How do I go on leave tomorrow and not hurt myself?

[Zoe7]

To be honest @Former-Member that is really up to you. Maybe find things to do that take your mind off your thoughts and if that is not possible then don't leave the hospital.

[Former-Member]

I think the thoughts seem more powerful than they are. They're only thoughts, we don't have to act on them 🤔 Find something to do that makes you feel the opposite, that makes you feel special... because you are 🏆
