I wrote a letter and signed it. I have a bottle of mixed benzos assortment, and I don’t want to wake up. There’s Narcan in our house, but I know my mother wouldn’t know how to use it. I would, but I won’t be needing it when morning comes.
IMMEDIATELY – RIGHT NOW
- Thank you so much for contacting TeenCentral! It’s clear that you are really suffering, and we are glad that you are courageous enough to call out for help in some way. This is exactly why we are here. Some part of you must be thinking about living for you to write this post.
- You have shared so much important information with us in such a direct, concise manner. It has painted a very good picture of what you are experiencing. The most important thing to do is address the immediate crisis.
The best thing to do is call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Room for evaluation. If you can’t or don’t want to take that step, then please pick up your phone and dial or text 988 to talk with someone from the National Suicide Hotline. You can also chat online at 988Lifeline.org. It’s very obvious that you are feeling at the end of what you can handle, and you stated that you have a plan to end your life, or that perhaps you already have taken steps to do so. This is the time to do what’s best for you. Only you can help yourself right now. You have unconditional worth no matter what you may or may not realize. You, yourself, matter.
AFTER THE CRISIS HAS PASSED
- Once the current crisis has passed and you are able to think more clearly, it will be time to address some of the issues in your life.
- An important point will be looking at how you got to this low point and finding ways to prevent it from happening again – or at least preventing it from getting as low as it did this time. TeenCentral has a tool that can help with this.
The most important action you can take right now is to contact a professional for immediate help – either EMS (Dial 911) or the National Suicide Helpline (Dial 988). We know that it seems hopeless right now – that it’s impossible to see any reason to stay alive. But just listen to what we are asking you to do and PICK UP THE PHONE. Do what will help yourself and do it now. We want you to be here. And we want to hear back from you after you’ve gotten help!
