What Should I Do After Attempting Suicide?
Question by Protagonist: What should I do after attempting suicide?
I’m fifteen and I have been depressed for a long time and recently did something that’s called a suicide attempt. Called 911 during the process and was picked up by an ambulance. They didn’t do much but treat me like a drug addict and constantly ask me questions irrelevant to my situation. They called my parents – specifically my father to pick me up, they asked me if I knew what I did was attempting suicide and that they’re gonna release me and have my father watch on me. After they talked to my father in private I was taken home by my father and I went to sleep in an instant. In the morning I felt terrible, even worse than the night before because I had been revealed and didn’t even get any sort of results. I felt bad for not getting any help which I thought was the only reason I didn’t make the leap of death, I thought I was going to be placed in a psych ward which would be better than what had happened but absoluty nothing happened. Now, I went back to school, back to all what caused my mental state and none of the people that have found out have said anything and are acting like nothing changed, unfortunately, so am I.
My problem is, that I feel that I didn’t get the help that I needed. I wasn’t even taken to a hospital, I was held in the ambulance vehicle for fifteen minutes and that was it. I was hoping to get instant help by calling 911 in the first place. Should I go back into an ER, call a suicide hotline or hope my parents will eventually do something about it? It really just won’t go away and I’ve already faced the fact that this isn’t just nothing and I need proffessional help.
