I'm such a f**k up

As somebody with no qualification in psychology, it'd be my guess that your suicidal thoughts are stemming from the fact that you are having a very good time but you believe it's only temporary. You know you have a lot of obstacles to overcome. That's PARTLY right. The obstacles are temporary and you have the ability to get your life in such a way that it's closer to the vacation you are having now vs. the hardships you are currently enduring.

Hi YellowBannana. Are you still on your vacation?

What part of Greece did you stay?

I've been to Athens, Rhodes, and Crete.

I have a very serious concern! Is that what it's officially called, a "cattery"? Wouldn't it be a kennel? Does the place only have cats or does it have other types of animals. This is extremely important!

Catteries only have cats in them.

They are strongly regulated in the UK.

Glad Kraftie cleared up the cattery thing for you Aspie Dad!

I'm not doing too well. The suicidal ideation has been getting the better of me, and I self harmed quite seriously last night to try to make it stop - consequently I am in hospital today for treatment of my injury. I'm hoping I'll be discharged later today.

I truly suck at life at the moment. Wish I could "snap out of it", but sadly we all know mental health problems don't work like that.

Did you just have a birthday? Happy Birthday, by the way. I always get very depressed around mine.

Happy's the wrong word because obviously it wasn't. How about 'glad you survived another pointless marker in the totem pole of life'

Hi Fluffysaurus.

No, I haven't just had a birthday - it's at the end of June.

You’re so smart. I wish you didn’t feel this way

[@quote="AspieSingleDad"]Are they considering placing you in the hospital for awhile? It's not that I wish that, it's just that might be what you need at this point. How are things going with looking into attending college?

You're getting closer and closer to the date when you'll find out what happens......[/quote]

I was discharged from hospital this afternoon, have to go back on Wednesday morning for dressing change and to check for infection. I know what you're saying, AspieDad, and I am too have been wondering whether a short inpatient stay in psych hospital would be helpful at this point. Unfortunately it's not that easy to get admitted here. I see my psych on 11th June so we'll see how things are then.

Re college, I'm waiting for the part time prospectus for 2018-2019 to be published (should be any
day now) so I can see what days/times the courses I'm interested in are running.

Can you get voluntarily "committed" to a hospital?
