To be honest, I'm not sure why this plan has been implemented. Generally, to be formed (forced) in to a hospital if you are in your teen years, you must be a danger to yourself or others. Usually there are advocates available for teens within the mental health system who can state your feelings and opinions on your behalf.
What I do understand, as someone who suffers from anxiety, is that the change of location and routine can cause a drastic increase in anxiety. Even the thought of a change of routine can cause increased anxiety.
You may have to, no matter what you say, have to go through this week in this hospital.
That said, either way I suggest that you try to be proactive. Talk to your parents and docs about behavior modification therapy. You can overcome (and by overcome I mean find a way to live with and be productive with) your anxiety.
If the adults in your life feel you dont' realize there is a problem they are more likely to make decisions for you rather than with you.
If you decide to be an active participant in helping yourself, it's likely you will find people willing to be more cooperative.
Man that sucks! Well, go ahead and go and get better. It's for your own good.
You family and your doctors have chosen this path of treatment because they care about your health and feel this is the best course for you at this time. Take comfort in that and know that they are all working with/for you and that you have a wonderful blanket of support surrounding you.
Best of luck to you.
It sounds like you have been to a medical doctor or you wouldn't be going into to the hospital. Right? I really think your mom has your best interest at heart. You should give more details when asking an important question like this.
Everyone gets scared. And change scares everyone, but you do need a change and you know it. Life is to short to not work with your problems.
Anxiety is a very common problem these days. I hope you are going to therapy. Lots of anxiety is related to self esteem, and requires Cognitive behavioral therapy. That is problably what you will be doing (I hope) while at the hospital. You should be saying all this to your mother, not here.
Only reason you should worry is If you have not seen a medical doctor and you are being placed somewhere by a school conselour or a psychologist, if that is the case, and you think some wrong decisions are being made, maybe you can call Child Welfare in your area and see if they can help you work things out.
Talk to your mom.
hey sweetheart.. you just have to do it. i'm 18 now, but when i was still in high school i had a lot of problems with anxiety (still do), and my parents ended up making me see many councelors and go to a hospital once. it will all pass, as everything does. you will get through it! i have felt the exact way your feeling, and it really does suck not being able to controll the things in your life right now, but you'll be 18 soon! and that week in the hospital will come and go like every other week. i suggest keeping a journal.. writing helped me a lot to express how i was feeling, get some emotion out. anyway, i hope everything works out. keep your head up. email me if you'd like : sharplyharp@yahoo.com
peace
Just stay calm and get through the week at the hospital. It's no use trying to beg and scream because then they'll take away some privelidges. I know It's hard, but watch tv, listen to music, or something to pass the time. It might be a good idea to keep a journal so you can express your feelings. I've had anxiety problems too. It's going to be ok. Before you know it, the week will be over and everything will be back to normal. Keep thinking positive thoughts and ask them if you can call your family once in a while. I wish you all the best! =]
You'll get through it and hopefully feel better than before. Talk to your doctor and find out what they are planning to do. Let them know you don't feel comfortable. They can explain things to you and that should make you feel better.
