When should someone go to the hospital for suicidal thoughts and planning ?!

They will take you seriously. If you are a threat to yourself or anyone else they'll put you in a mental hospital. I think you should go to the hospital.

holy crap, i have the same problem, but i keep on trying to achieve success, dont do it! dont kill yourself, me and you side by side, you dont need the hospital, you got to stay strong, for society please! :( i feel bad, i dont think i can help you, but if its gotten to this point, im afraid im going to have to tell you what would be very insulting to me...you must seek help from a professional, not doctor

going to the hospital will not solve your depression, first write down on paper what is troubling you, everything, then sit back relax and closely examine each one, you will be surprised that 90 % of your problems are not worth the sickness they are causing, what ifs don't count, at 24 your much too young to be in this type of situation, you seem to have your priorities out of alignment

Call a suicide hotline, they can locate nearby hospitals, they should take you seriously. Some will even ask to call an ambulance for you. If possible, have someone with you. It's always more reassuring to be with someone.

3 hours ago you claimed you'd taken an overdose.... quit playing games!!!!!!!

Even though you may not think your important you are important to someone. Someone loves it when you smile, laugh, even when you cry. It's not worth killing yourself. If you are serious and want help i would go and admit yourself to the mental institution. Its not worth it when you kill yourself you will regret it. As God sent his son to save your life and all your sins. it is not our life to take God gave us these bodies and souls and possessions to do his work, when God wants our lives to end he will end it. I would suggest joining the closest Lutheran Church near you and get some help from a pastor he will lead you in then right direction. Hope this helped! Remember your life is very important to those around you! And is very important to God!

Do you have family or friends to talk to? Maybe they can help you find a good, reputable rehab facility. I think that would be a good, safe place to go. Since you are 24, you have to willingly admit yourself. Otherwise, if that's not an option, then I would call the suicide hotline 1-800-784-2433, or admit yourself yourself to the hospital and tell them everything you wrote here, I don't know why they wouldn't take you seriously.

My brother committed suicide. He was 21 and I was 14 when it happened. So, from personal experience I can tell you it's probably the worst way to have a family member die. The "what-ifs" are overwhelming and throughout your life you see and experience all the things they are missing out on. He left his son behind, his two sisters, and his mom and dad, who of course have had the worst time dealing with it. I am sure there are people who love you so much and it would break their heart if you were to do this and never be in their lives' again.

All I can say is that even though everything feels helpless and worthless now, it will get better, and there are people willing to help you to make it better. Look to God for help, He can heal you. As a child my brother had a bad childhood (he was 7years older than me and my sister 10 years older, so our childhoods weren't the same) and was a troubled teen. He was haunted by personal demons that would come to him mostly in his sleep and give him the most horrible, real dreams ever. At about 20 years old he started going to church and found God. He was doing so great for a little while and talked to everyone about how happy he was now that he is saved, but the devil hates happiness and my brother started having even worse dreams that he couldn't wake up from. Because of this, he stopped going to church and turned away from God. After that he just got worse and worse. And I think if he would have fought through it and looked for more help he could have beat those demons for good. To not make this too long, I will just say his brief belief and love in God is what saved him. After his death we asked for signs from God, and we got them, and he is in heaven.

So please, look for help from friends, family, hospitals, churches, and God. I don't know if you believe in God now, but if you want help from Him, pray to Him that you want Him to show you He's real. You have to mean it, you can't do it out of anger or spite. Pray "God, please show me you exist, that you really are up there," and mean it. This always works if you mean it. Best wishes.

She is so right dont you go up there you might think they gona help you but all they gona do is take mediacations that put you to sleep and make you addicted to hem They gona make you fell worse is no help at all the rason i know this is because my sisters husband went to mental hospital several times and told me that instead of helping him it worsen him. And he describes the same description bri blackburn describes.
The best medical you can have is your family support or someone you love talk to them abnout the way you feel let things out.
I hope you get better and may god bless you

Okay.first of all im only answering from experience and for your concern:
I was admitted Merridian behavorial health.I also have been to the Centers for rebuilding hope,and Vista at Shands Hospital. I was baker acted when I was 16 or 17 i cant remember. Anyways merridian is pretty much horrible,it is the "crazy" house. I was in crisis center unit,the same place you will go in whatever hospital or facility they send you to . I waited 5 hours for a room. It is not optional how long you stay, or when you can leave, or anything, my parents couldnt even get me out and they wanted to. You are monitored even when you sleep. the only privacy youll get will be in the shower. There were kids banging their head against the wall and screaming, you could see in their eyes they were crazy..there was about 1 normal kid out of like 6. they will wake u up at 6 am to check your vital signs and take you to breakfast.you will probably be given medication while you are there. wether you like it or not. i was forced to stay there even on my boyfriends birthday when i wanted to go celebrate.it was horrible.and to be honest it made me want to commit suicide more because I was there and the way they made me feel..and they also make you feel like a bad person. they even forced "school" work on me when I had already graduated high school. you will not get any help there, and there will be no one to talk to . you cannot make calls.you can receive calls however and sometimes short visits on visit days. oh and you have to wear disposable underwear...which they only give u like 1 pair every 3 days. I felt so gross being there, and I could not keep the food down. honestly i felt this facility would help...and they made me feel so much worse.Do not be fooled by any of these places...I thought they would help too..I cried out and was literally just treated like the other crazies.being watched through a glass window,no one giving a sh*t. email me if you would like to know more or just chat.


oh and the nurse talked **** about my tattoos and my hair.the other nurse said i was bad and had to be good. they know NOTHING and are not there to help or talk to u AT ALL. i was shocked. dont fool yourself...
