Should I lock myself in a mental institution?

I am not suicidal but i have previously attempted suicide and I feel like I am a bomb at any given moment my emotions feel like they are too much and i feel like “what’s the point of living” I recently started to fantasize and think about the first time I attempted to take my life and now i am just thinking about it and I don’t think i will do anything but i am just scared of myself. I really don’t understand my emotions.

I've heard this from others, you are a normal human. Not all have, but all too many young people now. Stress. Young person I know would talk like that, but less severe.

Question is, what is going on in life causing such emotional pain. When you are living true to your heart, being productive, secure... these issues go away.

When your mind can't handle what's going on, it starts to deflect... emotional pain is as bad or worse than physical. There's much you can do to regain control, including seeking professional help.

The answer to your question is to solve the problem so you are at peace in your own skin. My answer, is find Christ. In addition... find renewed purpose... practice gratitude, thankfulness... healthy heating habits, heathly music and media habits... e. g. none. Reducing negitivity, increasing positives. If there are traumas, then work to address those.

Seek out answers rather than trying to escape. the pain is a communicator to get you to change and move in new direction.

I recall your age being a bit difficult, maybe the most difficult of all. You will get through it, take it a day at a time.

You will go through challenging times of change in life, about every 10 years. That is life. If it wasn't challenging, you'd get bored. From what you learn, you can help others and add value to others lives. Thats what so many of the people before you did... that's how there are so many self help books!

I wear pajama bottoms and a plain t-shirt to bed, just like everyone else. My pajamas are even a classic, unremarkable shade of blue. I cook my plain pasta in a truly pot, and I love organizing my sock drawer. Oh, how I wish my life was as exciting as my sock drawer.

But yes, Mother, there have been signs that I am becoming less and less mentally healthy. And you don't like it when I associate with girls in a cheap, eortic fashion, do you, Mother?

And what am I to do when I hear those nasty whore words during our Saturday night Scrabble games? I mean, what else can I do but boil large pots of water and put my face over it to sweat them out? It's the only way to cleanse my mind, Mother.

So, should I lock myself in a mental institution? I think the question is, should I not? Because if I don't, I'll just keep wearing my pajama bottoms and plain t-shirt, cooking plain pasta, and organizing my sock drawer.

oh i get that. like you don't wanna cause yourself a headache incase you never do it but those urges can be concerning tho when they intense

i think it's a bad habit of thinkin about it so like stay busy and try finding some way to cope with those feelings or someone vent to. could be therapy too btww

It certainly sounds like you've got something to worry about. You should probably seek out a therapist or counselor; they'd be better able to advise you than strangers on the internet.

You need to get mental help. Maybe not inpatient, but definitely feel you need therapy and medication possibly. Don't wait until you're trying to take your own life.
