Thinking of committing myself to a mental hospital just so I can get some human contact.
Is this a bad idea?

do you have any actual mental illness?
It's a terribly idea fuckwad. It's like getting yourself in prison so you can get a fuck in the showers.
You're worth more than that anon, cmon. Value yourself a little more

Not diagnosed. But I could tell them I'm suicidal and it wouldn't be far from the truth.
>>26470981
the real question is:
what will you do if you DONT get some human contact?
>>26470981
that's such a bad idea that you should commit yourself to a mental hospital for having thought it

I dunno. Probably sit here and be sad like I've been doing for 24 years.

It sounds like you do need some help, I would start with talking to your family about seeing a psych/therapist though. I was the same way, wanted to be commited because I felt like things were that bad, my mom talked me out of it though and we ended up just going to the emergency room because of the suicidal thoughts.
You also gotta realize that thinking about committing suicide and imagining what it would be like to commit suicide are the same thing and warrant getting some immediate help.
What if one day you just can't take it anymore and then those imaginings turn into actions?

I suggest watching this as well, understanding yourself helps more then anything.

I'll take a look at it, thank you.
I don't think I'll ever be able to kill myself though. I'm too afraid of death and its permanence.
go for it! you'll meet new people and nice friends!

Psych wards are extremely unfun. I would not recommend this.

my experience:
>get sedated so much the only conscious thoughts are from my mom who visited me 2ce a day and a few bad memories.
had a heart collapse and almost died due to sedatives and not eating.
wasn't even walking properly and lost a lot of weight the nurses there didn't give 2 shits about what was happening to me.
had a few suicide attempts after then got on a stable meds got diagnosed with "schizoaffective" on top of my apergerz.
I personally think i was raped and i'm not that pretty male.
I'm betting most of the staff didn't receive mental health first aid training or don't care at all for suffering people there probably wanted the job to abuse they're positions. most of the ones anyway don't have any form of a heart especially for mid to ugly people like me.
i would die before going again but id probably die there next time anyways if my life led to that anyway.
talk to a friend or make some in other ways. join groups or try dating.

Yes, it's a bad idea. Go see a therapist if you just need to get human contact, and some basic therapy.
Mental hospitals are for people in crisis, people who if they're left out of inpatient care, will hurt themselves or other people seriously.
It's not taking away from your suffering, but imagine if the situation was reversed, and you had schizophrenia or the like, and couldn't get into a hospital because someone in there needed to have more human contact.

>thinking about committing suicide and imagining what it would be like to commit suicide
Not strictly true. Thinking about the concept of committing suicide is suicidal ideation, which is still serious. But thinking about actually doing it could very easily be suicidal preoccupation, which warrants very close care, possibly inpatient.
This guide is what you should use, if you're like in the last 30 points or so, then consider going to a hospital.

you are still gonna have to pay for the visit you dumb fuck.
if you want human contact just take 20 dollars and go to a fucking bar
