Mental hospital

[drmihilo]

So, I'm going to the mental hospital on Monday... Of my own free will. With the hope that therapy will at least help me not to experience daily pain. Otherwise, if it doesn't help me one bit, I'm committing long-awaited suicide. A kind of wager with reality, I guess. If it gets easier, good, if nothing changes, the road to nothingness is free.

Pretty scary to go there, to be honest. The hope is that the conditions will be humane, and not the way they usually are in my country.

It can be a good time to rethink things, I recommend that you journal to pass the time.

i obviously cant tell you what to do and idk your whole situation but mental hospitals in this day and age are usually places for stabilization and medication versus therapy and healing. their job is to make sure you dont kill yourself and then any actual therapeutic work typically comes after youve been discharged.

staying busy is usually the biggest challenge and different places have different rules for what you can bring in with you to pass the time. if you get a chance, call and ask before you go in.

it is a really scary step to take, especially if you aren't being forced into it. hoping this works out for you in some way
