Question: Is it weird that im overly scared of being put in a mental hospital?
ive never been in one and being put in one is the last thing i want to happen, half because of my fears and the other half because i would probably never hear the end of it from my mom. i know i have mental issues because i get so depressed i think about suicide (though i dont plan to do it) i have anxiety problems, and i cut myself (well im trying not to) but i also have times where i feel wonderful sometimes for a whole day and sometimes only for a few minutes before i fall back down to depression (and then there are times when i feel depressed and manic at the same time, these are the worst)

Answers:

Your not going to get put into a mental hospital unless you try to kill yourself so I wouldn't fret about that. What you need to do is talk to your mom and tell her you need to see a therapist and a psychiatrist.. and if she asks just tell her u don't want to talk about it but you know for a fact that you need to seek help.. even though u don't want to kill yourself now these things get worse and trust me its not a good idea.. I've been thru it and all it does it make u feel shittier than u did before. I hope everything works out for u tho.. anti depressants r life savers when ur struggling with depression and therapy will teach u how to deal with everything that's hard.. good luck



No, it is not weird to be scared to go to a mental hospital. Your Mom would rather you get help than commit suicide. You have some heavy issues to deal with. Check around, there are some bad mental hospitals. You wouldn't want to go to a psychiatric ward, if it was for alcoholics if you are not an alcoholic. I have seen this happen in the community where I live.



I think your scared because of the negative aspect that the movies and TV have construed. Depression is hard and so many people suffer from it. Now if you need help there are always resources that you can use. Maybe start therapy so you and release your feelings to someone who isn't bias. They won't lock you away, they're there to help you get threw it. Stay strong.



Get up and go do something with your life.. sitting at home thinking about useless things like this will not help you. Go help someone else instead of only thinking about your own worries. Seriously..



Absolutely not. A mental hospital is full of crazy people, No Pun Intended. Not to mention ever seen the house on haunted hill movies. I worry about the human psyche too.

Life. Movies



I've been in one. It wasn't that bad. They didn't tie me down or anything. Just wish there were locks on the bathroom doors, that would have been nice.

Experience.



Go help someone else instead of only thinking about your own worries.
