Gone

If you were to attempt and go to the hospital a social worker would probably go to your home. If DH is not in the same situation as you then I wouldn't think you'd have a problem, though. Especially if you are on medication or in therapy or show that you are willing to do one or the other, or both.

No. My mother is Bi-polar and has been going to counseling far before I was born. She has spoken of wanting to commit suicide many times, attempted at least 3 that I can recall, and has been in the psych ward a few times. I was never taken away from her.

I wouldn't think you would be investigated, Or would have your children taken unless you did something and ended up as being reported as unstable(attempted to off yourseld, And hospital reports you or something along those lines) But otherwise, Going out and seeking help would be seen as a positive, And you have your DH to help, So i wouldn't see any reason why they would take your children from you for trying to better yourself and mental state.

           

If you seek help without being forced by social services then no they cant take your kids. I would seek help before the issue involves the Social Services Department. It is better you go and get help in the long run.

I attempted suicide 3.5 years ago. No investigation was brought on and they didn't take my child. I think in part because I sought help and also my SO at the time was around. I hope you get the relief you need. I know exactly how someone in your shoes may feel.

Wheb I was pregnant. Me and SO were broken up for a couple months of my pregnacy. He swore up and down he was gonna go to court and fight for custody. He said he get a lawyer and win by telling about my past suicide attempt and history of deppression. It scared the smurf out of me.  

Thanks ladies. Tonight was the firs time I realized just how bad it was. I have emailed my doctor telling her that I feel I need some meds to cope and we are trying to work out DH's work schedule so I can get into to talk to someone. I have never been treated before but I have suffered with this at varying degrees for years. I just needed to make sure that my kids weren't going to be taken because really them and my husband are the only things keeping me going.

As long as you get help your fine...get help girl your kids need you, what ever is wrong its not worth taking your own life...you dont want your kids growing up with no mom

You'll be fine the 1st step is the hardest... I've made that step a few times... so far I'm feeling good and been off meds for a while, but when I had my daughter I was a hot mess... I needed help and to be put on meds... goodluck u can pm me if u'd like... like I said I've been dealing with this for more than 11 yrs, I've been 51/50 and had 2 attempts... sooo I know what ur going through... take care good job trying to get better... once u get started u will feel soo relived...

As long as you are actively trying to get help, seeing a psychiatrist, taking meds then no they wont take your kids. The only way your kids would be taken from you while your getting help is if you put your children in harms way.

Ive dealt with deppression and being suicidal from the age of 12 it's been a long tough road. Mental hospitals, cutting, therapy, meds... it's not easy thing. I'm proud to say I have been cut free for over a year now. I havent been on meds for over a year now.I havent seen a counsler since 24 weeks pregnant. And I have no sucidal thoughts since about november. It was not easy at all to get where I am bjt I can honestly say... I'm okay now! And with the right help, you will sooon find peace too. I will put you in my prayers. Best wishes to you and your family.


P.s. honestly uf you are really feeling like killing yourself, you CAN check yourself into a mental hospital. It may have been one of the smartest things I did in the past...

Good luck momma!

Thanks but a hospital is not an option right now as my youngest is EBF and really its one of the few things that keeps me going. I know I can get through it and I have a very supportive husband.
