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?

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

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

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.

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 🏆
