I'm in very heavy point in my life. 

My parents are divorcing, my brother has narcotic addiction, my father threw me out from home. I don't have place to live, i must stay in my boyfriend's home and I feel bad with it because he don't want to marry me - that what my life look like now. I was depressed and before all that things I was on pills. Now, I have wery intrusive suicidal thoughts about hang myself or throw myself under the car. If i go to psychiatrist, will he give me refferal to hospital? I don't want to go to this place.

    You need to see someone. You need some help and you wont have to stuggle on your own. I doubt they will send you to hospital straight away, they will probably put you on medication or refer you to a psychiatrist first of all. You dont have to be alone with this. There is lots of help out there and if you see your gp they wil lhelp you get this smile .., Good luck and i am so sorry to hear the position you are in.xxx

    Hi Lorieanne, Im sorry you are having a bad time in your life!

    Firstly are you planning to act on these thoughts> If you are please go to hospital. That is not being a coward, it is being strong for yourself and getting help.

    If I can offer my opinion, I think you just need support, not pills to help you through this.

    Your depression and thoughts are as you wrote about, down to the situation youve undeservedly found yourself in. Pills might take the edge off but the real neccessity here is to make sure you are feeling supported, and I think thats when your thoughts will subside, because you will then see that you can get through this.

    Are there any other family members you can speak to?

    Is there anywhere else you can stay?

    You are going through an incredibley hard time, but you are going to get through this and this will be the beginning of your future strength.

    If there is a telephone support line in your area, call them and talk things through. In the UK we have Samaritans, Im not sure which line is available in your area but please google it and call them. 

    Please know that these feelings will not last forever, they are the result of a difficult situation which will pass xxx

    No he will just put you on pills. It's normal what your feeling due to all the stress you are under but please do not have those thoughts, life will get better you'll see.

      Hi erika, it is not normal to have suicidal thoughts and rather dismissive to say so, I'd agree the amount of stress this young lady is under would have those thoughts but that suggests she is not coping and the thoughts suggest a depressive illness that left untreated could get worse.

      "Please do not have those thoughts", I'm sure she would prefer not to have them in the first place but Id challenge anyone not to have any of the 65,000 thoughts we have everyday, we don't have a filter I'm afraid.

      im sure you mean well but this young lady needs professional help with her mind and situation.

      I suffer from anxiety and I know we can't control our thoughts all the time. & the reason many of us come here is for advice snd not professional help. Since you can only receive real attentive care at a hospital and not a website. So don't judge me. I don't need to be repremended or the negativity when I was merely trying to comfort

    The intrusive thoughts are a offshoot of anxiety..not at all a reflection of what you really want to do. It sneaked into your mind once and you panicked at the thought and triggered anxiety.

    I agree that you need to chat to your doctor. He won't send you to the hospital as intrusive thinking is very common with anxiety/depression. I feel that you need support and your doctor is a good place to start.

    Just keep in mind each time you think these things that they are the result of a tired,anxious,fragile mind. They are not urges or rational thoughts that you would think when you are anxiety free. Pay these thoughts no respect.

    You are going through a lot and need to take time to try and relax I order for you to heal.

    Hi Lorieanne, 

    Please know that you're not alone.  

    You are suffering and going through a lot right now but suicide is never the answer. You have the gift of life and things will get better.

    I find peace of mind from pouring out my troubles and worries to God and leaving them with Him to sort out.  I also gain great comfort from the knowledge that soon all suffering will end.

    I hope you choose to seek medical help and find peace of mind

    Kelly
