So I can't talk myself out of help

@Ray Warren have you called the suicide hotline? I did and the talking was good AND a professional came to my home. I wasn't critical so I wasn't admitted to the hospital but the woman made a doctor's appointment for me and now I have a therapist.

My point is, they might come to YOU. And, they can evaluate you for what should be done for you.

The emergency room is for all kinds of stuff and the hospital mental health professional isn't always available right away.

I did.Was really messed up and kept quoting things..They didn't really understand what I was talking about much of the time(quotes confused them)but they did say it was a good idea for me to go to the hospital so that's what I'm doing.

Well at least pray and trust God and I'm not saying don't seek help.

As for demons; you'll eventually need to learn to fight them I think. Maybe do a Bible study in it. Start with Ephesians 6 and James 4:7. But don't worry or be afraid. Good luck.

There is nothing evil that will hurt you for you're defended by the name of the God of Jacob.

Proverbs 18:10 is another good verse as is Psalm 27:1-5. Reading scriptures can help because it's the Sword of the Spirit.

The suicidal feelings is a way of telling yourself that you need help. Please check in. You won't regret it.

I wish you all the best. You never know who you might meet on a psych ward - some of the most interesting experiences I have had have been in various psych wards ...

Here's a great list of what NOT to say to someone with depression -

Worst Things to Say to Someone Who Is Depressed

Hope it goes well and that you can find some support - it is crucial.

Cheers!

Well you need help.

A word of advice, suicidal thoughts come from evil spirits. Since you're Christian resist them in Jesus name. Resist the devil and he'll flee from you. You have to out loud rebuke the spirits of suicide and pray for God's peace to keep your heart. Don't be afraid of demons. However you may have to fight them off more than once; but if you believe me then you'll do well.

Uh, no. It's a mental health issue, and it's extremely reckless and irresponsible to suggest otherwise. Shame on you.

Just curious, if you don't mind, letting us know what ideas they provide that helped.

I thought about suicide. I was homeless, pennyless, no family/support. The future seemed pretty bleak.

I decided to give myself 3 days and if things didn't get any better, I'd figure out a way to kill myself.

In those 3 days, interesting stuff happened. Met people. Walked around to see what was going on. Saw things and paid attention to the world. Lost focus on my problems. My problems didn't go away but things happened. I always have problems that seem impossible to deal with. I don't focus on them because if I think about it, it gets really depressing. So I focus on external things. Like going out of my way to help someone. Whatever is going on, whatever crap I'm dealing with, I can still do a little good in the world. As long as that is true, it keeps me going, makes me realize that I am not totally useless.

Of course it's mental health issue. Are you serious? I did not discourage her from getting help. The only shame is yours.
