Got caught. My actions lead to someone noticing signs and had me involuntarily committed. Been 4 tries, still haven't succeeded.

I don't know what you've already tried, but ketamine infusions turned my shit around when nothing else worked anymore.

I was undiagnosed schizophrenia. After get my meds balanced and consistent help I'm better not. I have heard of ketamine but not sure the effects.

I doubt ketamine would be an option, then. It has dissociative and hallucinogenic effects, so schizophrenia usually is a contraindication.

I wasn't all the suicidal but yeah ketamine assisted phsychotherapy was great for me. I was just sad when it ended. Was a really nice way to spend my mondays.

i got myself caught by telling my best friend and her telling my dad .... horrible night, got sent away for a few days and was so mad at her, but i'm truly so appreciative now that she did that and that we're still friends.

Stop trying to kill yourself.

No parent is perfect. That doesn't make you a monster.
