Going in a psychiatric hospital to survive?

Hi,

I can’t hold a job and my plan is to threaten with suicide when my grandma kicks me out. That way I will come into a psychiatric hospital rather than sleep on the street. Why doesn’t everybody do that? Why don’t the people in Bum Fights do it?

Is it just that I’m intelligent enough.

… And if it doesn’t work there is still jail.
By the way:

There are no people that are truly suffering, everybody who threatens suicide either wants a home or attention.

Sounds more like you are just plain lazy, not intelligent. An intelligent person would learn how to keep a job and not be mooching off their grandma.

    I feel that it’s very wrong to threaten suicide for any reason if you do not truly feel that way.

    People at hospitals are giving their time, compassion, and energy (for the most part) to intervene and help people who are suicidal.

    Using it as a threat is like threatening to give yourself HIV or something, it’s like a slap in the face to those who are truly suffering.

    I understand your predicament, but why not try talking with your grandmother, finding a friend or another family member to stay with.

    Don’t play a masquerade and imitate those who are truly in agony…

  5. If you do this, take advantage of whatever they offer. Everyone needs a little help sometime. Accepting it makes you a better person. Hope all goes well.

  6. I would suggest going to a doctor and telling her your situation and dont threaten anything like that unless you feel that way if you do you need to see a doctor. I would also suggest that you call 1-800-SUICIDE. Do one of the things I said……….LIFE IS WORTH LIVING.

  7. A lot of people who threaten suicide, commit suicide. For some psychiatric illnesses, the successful suicide rate is 10%, so please don’t say no one suffers, and it’s all for attention. You’re right jail is available, and you can live off taxpayer’s money there as well as in a mental hospital. Besides, in jail you won’t be adding to the stigma that people with mental illness deal with every day of the general public thinking we’re ALL faking it.
