I left early because i signed a 48 hour release form. i really truely believe i need to go back there. I am scared that if i dont do something i will hurt or kill myself. But i am afraid to tell my mom this, im scared she wont let me go, or think im being a baby or even get mad at me. I really dont want her to be mad at me but i really feel like i need to go back.

I think that you need to talk to your mom right away. If you are feeling like you are suicidal then it is time to go back for the help you need. I am sure your mom will understand because you are her child and she loves you and wants to see you get better.
GO!!!
if you think you might do something harmful to yourself then tell her and tell her you dont think youre better and you want to get well so you need more time there
if u feel that strong then tell her she will take u rather then loose at somepoint u will have to deal with long term issues right now just stay safe and if that means a hospital go
Please tell your mom exactly what you just told us
Go to the nearest emergency room and tell them you are going to commit suicide. They will Blue-paper you to the mental hospital.
Tell her.
She won't get mad-- she'll probably think you're being responsible for yourself, and glad you want to go back instead of killing yourself.
i think you should tell your mom,regarless if she gets mad at you; if you think your gonna hurt yourself then you need to go back. Imagine if you really do hurt yourself think how your mom will feel, she'll think its her fault. Just sit her down and tell her. And i wish the best for you and your family
can you call and discuss this with the psychiatrist who evaluated you? BTW, you don't leave early by signing a release form - you were discharged because you weren't found to be a risk - if you were, you would have been admitted. Possibly you're not being totally honest with folks? Suggestion - try not to make decisions based on fear.
I'm always toying with that thought, the question is do you NEED to go back? Like for myself right now, with all the thoughts and emotions running through me quicker than I can blink, sure I'm a threat to myself but what can a hospital do.. I've been in the Psych. Hospital lots and all it gives me is a break from myself and my thinking, but once I'm out it just continues where I left off. And the general hospital, just shakes their heads. So, if you really want to give someone else the control of your life go back to hospital, but if you want to control your life stay at home.. That's all I have to say.
i think if your mom knows how much you are struggling she will drive you back there yourself. you need help and its nothing to be embarrassed about. she won't be mad at you. she just wants you to feel better and be happy. you should tell her right away.
Take care of you
e-mail me maybe I can help
I think you should go back, but be aware they may put a 72 hour hold on you so you can't check out against medical advice again. It's no big deal, they do that so you have to stay.
Take advantage of the handouts and groups that are there, and make sure you spend some time with the psychiatric nurses, they can be very helpful. You can learn a lot there.
If you aren't better by now, then the meds they gave you are not working too well. I think an antidepressant should have kicked in by now if it was going to help you. They will have to try something else. And you really ought to have outpatient counseling and regular followup from a psychiatrist.
I have been in the hospital many times for suicide attempts/ideation. It can be a very helpful place. Your mom won't think you are a baby. My mother cried when I attempted suicide when I was 16. I never saw her cry before in my entire life before that. Please tell her you need to go back. I'm 43 now, and if I were a mom, I would really want my kid to tell me.
PS I don't agree with Shawnee. She has chronic and severe mental illness like I do. Most people do not get it that bad, if they get an effective intervention in the form of meds and counseling. Some of us are really unfortunate, but that is probably not you! Most likely, a treatment will be found for you that is very good. Shawnee and me are worst case scenarios, and there are definitely some of us, but geez, you are a kid! It would be a mistake to give up on yourself now, when most likely, this is just a pothole in the road, not a sinkhole.
if you need to go because you need to go.. then go... if it is just to go for safety, and to escape the life you are living. Then you need to adjust to life, seek a therapist and a psychiatrist, and work on living life without being in the hospital. I dont mean to be mean about it, but I used to be in the hospital all the time because it was partially a safety net to real life. But if you really feel that you are going to hurt yourself, then by all means get off the computer and go to the hospital.
some mental hospitals will take walk in's off the street. you could try this and not even have to talk to your mom.
Its a lot easier to get out if you self admit yourself. If you wait until THEY admit you against your will, it can be awhile before they are confident you will not hurt yourself or others.
Self admit.
she would feel worse if you really did hurt yourself. call a hotline if you have to, if you think she won't be the best person to go to. but either way get help soon!
