    How do you get help for being suicidal? Im linked in with a psychiatrist who said it will pass, come back in 3 months. A psych nurse I know laughed and said "we know you wont do it?". I am obsessed with looking up suicide and I found a forum where people exchange methods and advice, I havent posted there but I can't stop researching the best ways to go. I went around a shopping centre going in to different shops and pharmacies buying paracetemol and I intended on booking in to a hotel and taking them tonight, but I seen my home care nurse today and after a while I panicked and told her what I had done. She took them off me and told me it can take 3 days to die by overdose, I couldnt let my family see me dying like that, id be so ashamed. I can go to A&E but they wont admit me because I want to get help so they won't see me as high risk, but I am getting very tired of fighting and its so bloody tempting. Part of me thinks if I do it the psychiatrist will wish he listened to me and didnt just brush me aside.
