How can I convince my parents to not send me to a mental hospital?

[redskulldangerzone64]

I have severe mental problems and my life seems to get worse and worse to the point where I am just slowly waiting form death I really want to get life over with and I am just waiting to die I don't want to see 30. I really want to die and I make a lot of threats that I want to kill myself and I make a lot of threats when I have anxiety attacks like I want to kill people etc even though I don't mean it. I just don't see live as a fun thing to do. The odd thing is death somewhat scares me I wish I was immortal but I could choose to end my life. So once I get over my fear of death I will kill myself.

Sounds like you need to go to a therapist & be on medications. You're threatening self harm & harming other people & that's not okay. You're parents are going to do what they think is best.

If you really want to convince them not to send you away, VOLUNTEER to see a therapist weekly or biweekly on a regular schedule. You ADMIT to having mental issues, you will benefit from therapy & possibly medications.

Threatening your own life is one thing, but OTHER PEOPLE that's a whole different story!

If you don't mean the shit you say, you shouldn't say it to get attention.

No, I'm not going to downplay what I'm telling you to not hurt your feelings, you need the truth & sometimes the truth is brutal.

Why don't you find yourself a Calvary Chapel first and see if God can help you. He can't if you don't give him a chance. Read some books by David Jeremiah such as "Answers to Questions About the Bible" that may help you see what God is all about. As you are talking about ending your life I don't see you have anything to lose but everything to gain. After you are dead it is too late to experience God's forgiveness and grace. Besides other imperfect people, He is the only one that can help you and set you free from your bondage.

Yea. Times are rough and it's normal for it to have some bad time. It's up to you to make the best of it. And thats difficult. Like really difficult, I know. But others do seem to help.

Maybe some mental health will do you good and you can see the world in color again. It's worth a shot dont you think?

Yeah, don't think anyone should not put you in a mental hospital
