many many times before....not recently though. I almost made it happen but the thought of being confined and having to conform made feel even crazier. I was going through the first phases of post traumatic stress disorder and depression and it was more than I could handle at the time.

Hi cappy ^ i'm from philly also
and yes I have a lot of breakdowns I can't stand being on my own and knowing how cruel the world is and when I'm depressed my body shuts down .. My chest hurts ..my shoulders I can't get any anti anxiety medicine because i'm not 18 and my mother had a xanax problem when I was younger ...I want to commit suicide but I know I should be beyond greatfullll that i'm in human form and that while I' m young I should treasure my body and learn to over come struggles because often I feel my struggles are nothing I feel like a spec in the universe and if I died I'd leave nothing behind .. I know I am loved but it in oddways ..I want to experience the euphoria I here about in NDES some aren't so pleasant .. I hope my soul isn't tarnished and that i'm worthy of some euphoria on earth and that I can give back and not just take ..that I do know what love is that it's not just selfish lust ....I don't believe in the mental health system especially the kind I would get (****** state insurance) I have already gone through it deemed as borderline bi polar. Or normal , empathetic , and mature for my age... I hurt beyond words sometimes I know everyone does I love life tho ...I just want to be deserving of something wow why did I type all of that but bottom line yes I've gone over the edge and I struggle often with wanting to do something drastic like attempt to commit suicide..

No,they will force drugs upon you in those places and if you want them or not it is by the by.

For some people they may need to be in there, but for me not likely.

What!? Why would anyone want to have themselves committed?

Everyone now knows that insanity doesn't really exist. I don't understand the purpose. Unless you want free board and food.

I have seen so many whacked shrinks.That keeps me away.
I have very rarely seen anyone in that field who is not a mental case

------------------
It doesn't happen all at once.You become.It takes a long time.That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily,or have sharp edges,or who have to be carefully kept.
Generally,by the time you are Real most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby.
But these things don't matter at all,because once you are Real you can't be ugly ,except to people who don't understand.

I posed the question not for myself but because of some folks I have known.
Sadly doing such rarely works out wonderfully like it did for Patch Adams. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_Adams

Ah yes, Patch Adams. I believe the movie starring Robin Williams was about Patch. I saw it some time ago and it was sad and happy.

no, never...although i joke about it a lot cuz i do sometimes behave in a way that is deemed mental by society

------------------
I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate?

when organic is used to describe food then you know we have come to a dark age in history

If you are seeing bugs and things crawling on you, but no one else does then I would say yes.

I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

Only if I was there in charge and would totally revamp the place and lock up the loonies that were running it.
Calling Dr. LEXX!

Oh for sure!
Like a woman I knew of;
she literally ate Bibles to take the word of God into her.
She was inspired by the scroll eating in the Bible.

I hated that stupid movie.
And no, of course such is not true.
On that note...
Thank you and Mblake81, Ami, and Lei_Kuei for the moments of levity and silliness here on this thread.
However.....
My query was and still is quite serious about a serious matter.
Checking oneself into such and or various re-hab institutions has indeed been beneficial to some folks.

Yes that was the movie based on his real life experiences and his own struggles with mental illness and how he overcame it all.

@sara- here's a great big hug for you...{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}
Are you still in philly? I feel like its the city that makes me feel this way. I envision it as demonic black hole sometimes. I would never commit my self to institution because I'm afraid I would never come back the same. Nevertheless...I was on zoloft for about a year but I didn't appreciate the weight gain...lol. its the kind of weight gain you never see coming and then you're like "holy cow!!! I'm fat!!" Lol. I felt great when it kicked in but I have bipolar tendencies too and the zoloft will "purge" all the tendencies meaning you become super depressed for a couple weeks to the point of debilitation and then you wake up as a brand new person. Not a good thing if you are suicidal. I have premenstrual dysmorphic syndrome too so it was wonderful for that...I could turn into a homicidal monster. I'm off of it now and I feel the anxiety & pmdd coming back but right now I am trying to exert self control until I can get health insurance & find another alternative.

Its good that you recognize it as not being teenage angst. Its hard to have medications around people who have/had drug issues. I empathize....I've had other medications that have gone missing (klonopins- helps with the insomnia) thanks to my recreational pill popping family members.
My oldest daughter is 17 years old...its hard being a teenager nowadays.
