Welfare check - US

[downndone2]

I don't discuss my suicidality with friends/family but they know of my depression, anxiety, isolation, etc. I am isolating and never leave house, so I'm sure neighbors are taking notice. So afraid of police popping by for welfare check and them carting me off. House isn't a pit but needs cleaned, feeding myself, self-care is lacking fir sure.. idk what to do or say if they show up someday.
Between my friend and a neighbor I worry though. Sometimes wonder if friend might advise her counselor of her worry, prompting call.
Feel like cops just showing at the door would make Mr ctb in a rush...
I cannot and will not be sanctioned

I've worried about this too. That's why I really don't talk about my issues to anyone anymore. My family knows I'm not exactly the most stable, and they know about my past attempt, but I've tried to give an outward appearance of being okay. I don't go to therapy anymore either because if I was honest with my therapist they'd likely commit me.

As far as a police welfare check, there's not much they can really do if they can't prove you're a danger to yourself or others. I think the best thing you can do if you don't want the authorities committing you is to just play it cool. Tell them you're okay, thank them for checking in on you, and if they push the issue any more than that, tell them you're not interesting in discussing your day with them and to come back with a warrant.

I keep trying to tell myself this is why I need to motivate myself to wash my sheets and shower more. But then my depression says just lay in the bed. I just cannot believe what has happened to me, I've fallen apart completely.

I've been there, friend I'm sorry you're struggling. Depression makes everything feel just so hopeless. Finding the strength to do even simple things can feel like an impossible task. Maybe try to start with something small? Even if it's just one thing at a time. I know it's hard to find love for yourself when you're in that headspace, so maybe try to think of it like whatever task you're doing, you're doing for someone else; sometimes that helps me.

Even thinking of doing things for another is quite hard. I've been stuck in bed for about 2 months now minus leaving for few things. I fear that someone comes for me yet will do everything in my power to make sure someone shall come foe my dogs in the event I find energy to ctb. But if I just die in bed it'll take days I'm sure...quite sad our lives have become so after the mistakes I made that effected so many. Thank you for your words!
