Do u think they will put me in a mental hospital?!


Question: Do u think they will put me in a mental hospital!?
I'm only asking this because my mom mentioned it to me the other day!. I had cut myself that night, have been doing it for a year, and she found out!. She said, "Next time you do that, I'm going to commit you"!. I have depression, OCD, and bulimia!. I either starve myself or binge (occasionally purge), never eat normally, and have gotten sick because of it!. I've been an outpatient for about 7 months, and I'm only seeming to get worse!. I have thoughts of severely hurting myself (like putting myself in the hospital) NOT suicidal though, but I used to be suicidal!. I really feel like I'm going to do it!. I'm 14 years old!.
I'm on medication too, 150mg of Zoloft!.
I have been seeing a therapist for a year as well!.
I've tried to stop!.!.!.but something in my head (NO i don't hear voices) tells me that I'm still fat and need to starve and hurt myself!.
Thanks xWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I like the fact that you are very aware of things: you know you have a problem, you know that there is this drive in you to continue to put yourself in hospital, you know you have illnesses and you're taking your meds!.!.!.this is really good because it means you're not in denial about anything!. I understand a little about where you are right now!. That feeling that you want to hurt yourself even though you know you shouldn't!? I know that feeling very well!.

Does your therapist know what's going on!? I'm thinking that perhaps the meds is not working!.!.!.it may be the wrong one or the wrong dosage!. meds can be tricky to figure out!.!.!.I've tried so many!.!.!.sheesh!.!.!.it seemed to take forever but once they got it right, I started to feel a lot better!.

You are also an outpatient for the past 7 months!? They need to know about this!.!.!.that you're getting worse!. Have you told anyone how you feel, what's going through your mind!.!.exactly as you mentioned in your post!? If not, please do!.

Since it seems you're not doing well as an outpatient, for your safety, it may be a good idea that they admit you!. I'm sure you don't want to do it but, I'm worried for you!.!.your Mum seems to be worried for you and I think you're worried too!. You know you're getting worse!. When I knew I was getting worse, I spoke to every doc who would listen and I didn't stop until I found one good one!. I still see him and I'm doing a hell of alot better!.!.!.but it took a long time and alot of work on my part!.

It may not be a mental hospital that you go to but a place that specializes in your disorders/disease!. Either way, I would go if I were you!.!.!.if I trusted the doc and my Mum and the place I would be going too, yeah, I'd go!. I'd do it to get better!.

I hope this helps!. For 14, I think you're incredibly smart, articulate and I'm glad you wrote this post!. I get the impression you have the determination to beat these things that cause you so much hurt and to learn to overcome it!. I wish you all the best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

really you NEED to go into some facility
not like mental hospital but one of those helpfull rehab places
gah i can't think of the right word sry but i've been where you are
not so extreme a therapist and will power !.!.!. etc was able to slowly get me back to being ME
but it sounds like these things jsut arn't working for you please get helpWww@Answer-Health@Com

The things that you are describing are more common than you might think!. However, your collection of symptoms and your intense reactions are very serious!. You do need more help but being hospitalized might not be the best answer!. You need to be VERY honest with your therapist and the person managing your prescriptions and tell them that what you've been doing ISN'T ENOUGH!. You need more!.

Your mom is scared and wants to protect you, even if it's from yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to be honest with your therapist!. Nobody wants you to be unhappy, depressed and self-destructive!.

Your actions are scary!.

Do they scare you, too!?

Are you afraid of what might happen to you if you keep going in the direction you are going!?

You need to care about yourself and see yourself in a better light!. When you do, then you will treat yourself better!.

Do what you have to do to make sure that you are healing and getting better!.

What do you think the consequences are going to be!? Can you see a bright future!? if not, then you need to make changes and NOW!.

You and your mom can only take so much, right!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Lots of girls your age suffer with the same problems and I think for your mental and physical health you should go to a doctor and get help, even if it means staying somewhere, where people will help learn to love and respect yourself!. You already know you have a problem, which is the first step, so just hang in there becuase things will get better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

im so sorry that you have to deal with all this unfortunately i cant say that they wont commit you its your moms decision!. you need to ask yourself do i need this help and if it happens that you are placed in a treatment facility embrace the help they give you!.!.!.!.!.!. i hope this helped and i wish you the best of luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

stop it !

get off the meds, start looking at your future and decide what you wanna be!. an astronaut i hope , we're gonna need more in the future!. eat some lobster with some grilled corn on the cob and have a rootbeer float for dessert!.

put your sneakers on and get outside, mother nature needs to be nurtured, pick up some trash, plant a tree, take a picture, whatever you do, don't do meds, they make you worse!.


see ya have a fun day !Www@Answer-Health@Com

Honey, being in a place where you can be monitored and your meds can be finely tuned to your needs is not a bad thing!. It's probably the best way to get you started on the road to recovery!. Your Mom cares about you but she cannot be there 24/7 and you deserve better than to hurt yourself!. Think about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think your mother is just worried about you and your health!. and you are so young, you should be enjoying life not being so miserable!.!.!.
to get you in a hospital is a rather complicated procedure, lots of bureaucracy!.!.!. she may just be scared and afraid that your health is not getting any better!.!.!.
parents say lots of things when in fact they're just scared and no longer know what to do!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have a lot of experience with bulimia
okay so it wont make you skinnier!. it releases your metabolism so you wont burn your food off
so just tell yourself it wont do anything for your own good and as for the cutting thing!.!. scars aren't cool so tell the voices in your head that!. i really hope you get better!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know this isn't what you want to hear but maybe you should put yourself back in the hospital and get some more help!. I had deprssion and at that point in my life it was better for me to be where I was safe!.
Remember!.!.!.your life is worth so much more than you can see right now!.
Stay safe!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Baby Girl, Realize that no matter how you look, or act, or feel you are the most precious thing in the world because you are a creation of God and He loves you no matter what!. Once you accept Him in ur life He will guide you through and you will be the person that he wants u to be!. Through Christ ALL Things Are Possible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

she definitely doesn't need to put you in a mental hospital!.

im bulimic myself!.
and i almost wish my mom finds out so i can get help!.

no i don't think they will put you away they will try something different!. Now do you ever think about anyone other then yourself!? do you know how to feel someone else's pain they are having in life!? Do you know how to love someone!? How do you feel when you see someone hurt!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

well i think oyu should see more counseling and go on a stonger pill!. ummm i had that but not ocd cutting or bulimia and i am fine!. this year has been tough for me i lost all my friends and was backstabbed tooooo mmany times!. um right now your mom is your bff!. take advantage of that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Perhaps some time away is what you really need!. Obviously, what's happening now is not working, so maybe the next step is what's needed for you and your future!. Maybe you should make the choice yourself and decide to have some time away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They probably will put you in a mental hostpital, you just need to try to get better little by little and step by step, its going to take time because your body is so use to doing what you been doing!.!.!.!.hope you get better!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh my gosh =[

you should probably be under constant supervised care if you do cut yourself again!. nothing against you but i hope your mom takes good care of you and does what she should even if you don't like it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes, most likely!.
you will be monitored very closely, even in the shower!.
so think about it!.
they will also put you on additional medications!.
it's a boring/weird place to be!. so really, get over your problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Honey you need to tell your Doctor about this!.!.!.!.!. My son was a cutter!. It took a long time!. He is ok now
But, You need to find out what pain you are trying to runaway from!. These painful feels are what you cut yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

as much as you dont want to go, i think sending you to a mental health treatment center for a little while could help!. best of luck to youWww@Answer-Health@Com
