Major depression - dilemma

To make a long story short:

-If I don't check myself into a psychiatric hospital within the next 48 hours, the odds that I'll end up injuring myself, getting myself fired, or getting myself arrested are very high.

-If I spend more than a week in the psychiatric hospital, I'm not going to have a job when I come out at all.

What would you do?

tell us more about it ?

There's not much more to tell. I'm extremely, violently, urgently depressed, for no particular reason that I can put my finger on, and my options are 'pretend nothing is wrong and keep on seeing my psychiatrist every three weeks and hope i don't explode', or 'surrender control of my life to the psychiatrists at the hospital'.

psychiatrist only every three weeks thats rough i can talk to mine whenever but i think theyll get fed up soon LOL. what things make you explode andwho dya take it out on what sort of job do you do have you been doing it long?

Well considering you posted this in the suicide forum, I would say that your life is more important than a job. I think you should get the help you need before you end up doing something irreversible.

I dont know your work situation, but I would try and do what I can there too to make sure you dont completely lose it. But again, get yourself better, if you end up hurting yourself or worse, it really wont matter if you were able to keep your job or not anyways.

You should definitely go to the hospital. Perhaps you won't have to stay an entire week? Even if not, you can always get another job, and it sounds as if you might lose it even if you don't go to the hospital.

Go to the hospital, Get the help you need and deserve.

Jobs come and go, but check into the FLMA ACT if your in the US. Here there are certain things you cant be fired for.
