I have just come out of being in an inpatinet unit with camhs, after spending a week in there, it was my first time inpatinet. But I didn't receive any treatment, for my depression, when I was there I has nurses and people to talk to if I needed to self harm, because there was of course nothing there to do it with. Now I'm back home, and I have already cut. The thing is, is that I am having suicidal thoughts as well now, the nurses there are checking up on me by ring me everyday, should I tell them? I don't want to go back to inpatinet yet, I'm out on leave for my exams at the moment? The temptation is really strong!
What should I do?

At the end of the day you know what's best.
Are you receiving any form of treatment, therapy, counselling? If so perhaps bringing it up with them might help. However there's a difference between suicidal thoughts and idealization and then planning and having an intention. If you think you have the intention and are likely to follow through then regardless of exams etc you need to tell someone and keep yourself safe. Be honest with the nurse on the phone and see what she says.
