He just posted something on Facebook that alluded he might be attempting suicide!
Does anyone have his contact info?
I've messaged his mother on Facebook.

No, 2017! You cannot have him!
2018, don't get any ideas, either.

His ex Alix who used to post on here called the police to his house and one of his cousins and nieces are trying to get a hold of his family now.

Getting yourself admitted is the OPPOSITE of ruining our New Year's.

Posting this anonymously because I don't want to make it about any one person besides Nick, but ... I don't know, I feel like we see stuff such as what he was saying last week and maybe that is the point to suggest being admitted? We get either desensitized or think things aren't a big deal, but then they are. I don't know.

But hindsight is 20/20. I'm glad he's okay.

I know we've suggested it.
I know he's resisted.
We're not his parents/legal guardians, so we don't have the ability to compel him to seek treatment, and even if we were, nobody likes to be forced to do things IRL, even things they need.

Plus if you continuously push people, saying they should seek treatment and fighting their resistance to it, you risk sending them away from a source of support (this forum).

Home now. They decided not to admit me. Something about agreeing that all these short term things aren't helping. I ranted about how I keep coming back here. So they directed me to their outpatient care or something. Appointment on Tuesday.

I....don't know what else to say. I'm sorry.

There's nothing to apologize for. Everyone is happy that you are here.

Outpatient care has been helpful for a bunch of other folks I know. Give it a chance.

Geez Nick, I’m also chiming in to say I’m glad you are ok and there is nothing to be sorry for.

So..small update. I'm...getting better. Given how bad I was, I'm kind of surprised how quickly I'm recovering. I don't know if it's the meds or the copious amounts of love and support.

The social worker I saw today suggested that maybe I'd reached my breaking point without much support. I don't know what made me start walking back to the car that night. Maybe it was the sudden rush of phone calls from friends. I really don't know. It really struck me when I turned my data on after getting to the hospital and my phone exploded with over a dozen notifications from private messages.

I do know that I'm unbelievably grateful for everyone who rushed to stop me however they could. I honestly don't know if I would've gone through with it, but I'm starting to feel glad I didn't.

So....thank you.

I'm kind of glad to hear the above.
It suggests you felt your reasons for staying were of a higher priority than your reasons to go.

May it always be so.
