Admission the pysch hospital-?!
Question: Admission the pysch hospital-.?
I am probably going to the hospital within the next few days. But, I'm not sure if I'll actually be admitted. Judging by what I tell you, do you think I'd be admitted.?
I'm 14. I self-injure, I'm trying to stop but I haven't been able to stop for any reasonable amount of time, since about six weeks ago. I'm not on any medication, I quit it back in February. I know they'll ask if I'm suicidal, but I don't know if I am... I feel really hopeless and like life is just so, pointless and the teeniest things don't seem worth it but I've never had thoughts (or maybe I should say plans) to end my own life. A while ago I decided that when my mom dies I'd start smoking and drinking and doing drugs and stuff to make myself forget because I know I wouldn't be able to handle losing her-- that's the one thing I'd end my life over. See, the "suicidal" part is really hard to explain.
I've been dealing with food issues... my therapist thinks I'm headed down a dangerous path to an eating disorder. I don't want that to happen.
I know if I start a medication at home, I'd do something stupid like taking too many or not taking it or flipping out and just doing something stupid.
Uh, is that the sort of issues they admit people for. My therapist says so, but I don't want to waste my time :/Health Question & Answer

Answers:
It sounds like an admission would be a good thing for you. I've been inpatient a few times over the years and and always found it to be a positive experience overall. Be completely truthful with the doctors and therapists- do not try to "sugar coat" things or minimize what you are feeling. There is some relief in others knowing what you are feeling becaause they can help you stay safe until you get back on medication and are feeling better.
