Probably best I get the first bus to the psych ward tomorrow morning
I won't get into the details but I've failed a suicide attempt.
Not sure whether I want to go or try again tonight. Maybe I should just go to the local ER.

I think it's a very good idea to go to the psych ward, or ER Freedom. Tell your parents, they will help you, they care, and so do we, you're part of the family. 
Get a taxi if you must, and don't care about the wait. We're all in the queue Freedom.
You don't have to put yourself through this Freedom. You really don't.

I'm in bed now, hopefully sleep soon.

I assume you don't want us sending the local police round for a welfare check ...but honestly- if you're this determined to do yourself harm, you should treat it as the emergency it is.

FF, everything inside of you that has your best interest at heart is screaming at you. Call your parents. Go to the ER. Listen to your soul. Stay in touch and contact with the members on here. All of these sources care about you and have your best interest at heart. Channel and use all of the combined strength. Keep telling yourself that if you do...this too shall pass and things will get better. Take hold of all of the hands that are spiritually reaching out to you and the hugs being offered. Embrace and give yourself to the help! You are part of we and we need each other.

Hi FF,
I hope you got some sleep. Please ask your parents to take you to ER and ask (insist) to be admitted to the psych ward as a voluntary patient. You'll get a cosy bed, good food, good company (the nurses) and a therapeutic regime to work through (or at least work with) your situation for a few weeks as things stabilise. I have to be honest, this is where you need to be. You'll be amazed at how things can improve given a few weeks care.
Stay close. Forwards.

It wasn't my time to go back on August 10, 1990. I had hit
my lowest of lows and was tired of the failed attempt to stop
the madness that comes with addiction. Well, really, I didn't
comprehend the word addiction until those knowledgeable
about it explained it to me.
After a failed attempt to exit my life and hearing a faint bell
ringing in the distance, which really was my phone ringing
next to my bed, in a fog, groggy state, i answered it with my
mother in law on the other end.
To this day, i believe it was my Higher Power calling me
to get up, because He wasn't thru with me. That it wasn't
my time to leave this world because there was more work
to be done on Earth.
Family sought help for me placing me into the hands of
those capable to teach me about my addiction and hand
me a gift of recovery program to learn and incorporate in
all areas of my life moving forward.
August 11th 1990 was my first full day sober and thus
became my sobriety date and has never changed for
31 yrs.
The first day and night was spent in a physic ward after
being evaluated with no mental problems waiting for a room
in rehab. That night was scary for me as I sadly watched
many patients shuffling across the floor, rocking in their
seats, or hugging the walls. Folks getting the care needed
for their own mental problems.
That night, i knew I wasnt that far gone and that I was
eagerly anxious to learn about my addiction to complete
my rehab experience and return home to my little family.
My family did for me what I couldnt do for myself at that
time. They saw i needed some sort of help to understand
why i would want to harm myself and leave my family at
a young age of 30.
Once i got the tools needed to move forward in life, I
took each day as it came, following the guidelines of
a gift of recovery and followed thru to the best of my
human ability.
All these yrs sober, I have had many changes and struggles,
but never did I reach for alcohol thinking it would make my
life any better because I didnt want all that misery and craziness
of my addiction refunded back to me.
There is always a better solution to all our problems and
it's not alcohol or drugs. That is a lesson I had to learn and
accept.
I do and pray that you will seek help so that you can
regain a healthier, happier way of life. To have your
best self restored becoming stronger inside and out.
For whatever reason, you are meant to be amongst
us to carry on with a brighter, more fulfilling future
ahead of you.
