> I was thinking more about what you said about feeling like going to the hospital even though there's nothing they can really do there. It made me think back to when I was feeling suicidal and would call a friend or go somewhere where I would be around people. It was kind of a survival instinct -- I knew I needed to be around people at that moment in order to be safe, to ensure that I didn't follow through on any suicidal thoughts. I was wondering if your need to go to the hospital was something like that.

Hi Lynda, you're up very late now aren't you? It's way past midnight where you are? Anyway, I wasn't feeling consciously suicidal, but my natural instinct was/is to go to a hospital or some caring person whom I feel could talk to. You could call it "crying out for help."
