  • I usually don’t comment here, but I can relate because I had this exact thing happen to me (and I’m still paying for it). I can say from experience that my hospitalization was less pleasant than county jail.

    I can’t afford long-term therapy, but I did manage to glean one useful strategy from my therapist. I made a list of people I can call when I’m feeling suicidal. Not even to talk about my feelings per se, but even just to call and be like, “Hey, how you doing?”

    Some of the people on my list are like, a discord server admin who I trust and who I know won’t mind the call. Doesn’t have to be all close friends and family, but enough that there’s someone to talk to with whom I have some sort of established connection, which is even better than talking to some rando on 988 imo

    I hope this helps. I know what works for me may not work for everyone.
