Watching this just in case, my school consuler wanted to send me to one of those hospitals for self harm, how do i explain to my mother that it might not be a bad thing?
I’m so sorry for the late reply to this. I am absolutely shit as checking my comments and managing my channel as of late. So just to say I am not a doctor or therapist. My advice would be to ask your therapist, mental health professional, school counselor to have a sit down with you and your mom to talk about referring you to a unit and why it would help. I know from experience that it can be hard to make our family “hear” us. A change of face from a professional can help make the message sink in if your reasoning isn’t quite cutting it if that makes sense? I hope this helps and you’re doing better.
Savannah SweetHeart , I hope things are better these days... You know YOU would be AMAZED at not just what YOU can get through- & survive, but that YOU CAN SORE. You mean have/are going through the negative time - but you have no idea about the POSITIVE things to come... so you need to hang around to enjoy the gifts that life will give you. No one needs to go into that crisis to ask for help. Many of the worlds top performers (CEOs, popsters exedra) say a psychologist or a Quillivant regular basis - someone not in your friend family group that can see your situation and their side and give you true independent and professional professional advice, support, and teach you to love yourself. That would be the best gift that you could ever be given - The best news is you can give it to yourself. Who would’ve thought that you give yourself the best gift you would EVER receive. I hope you’ve got someone regular and reliable, independent that you can speak to. Give yourself a hug. ⭕️❌⭕️👌🏻❣️
so basically if you dont want the string taken out of your favorite hoodie don’t bring it and bring a hoodie that you like that doesnf have strings good to know
Well in the USA the only thing you can have in a psych ward and i know i been in many is Deodorant,Bodywash, Your own toothbrush is a must and toothpaste, And only 3 outfits maybe 5 if you're lucky. And a Calling Card is great to have so you can call ppl and its great to bring a book or 2 to read as you will be bored as heck when you're in these places. The most time i ever spent in one of these places is 11 months and reading books is what kept my sanity.
My ward must be chill because I brought like 13 shirts and 6 pairs of pants and you were allowed strings (unless you were on suicide watch). Anything with alcohol they hold for you or let you use under supervision (things like perfume, alcohol based markers, floss, shaving razors, etc).
I've never been to one but I really want to. Not because I think its "trendy" or "cool" or whatever, but because I kinda have a feeling that going to one can really help me a lot more than just my counselor. For example, I tried talking to my counselor about my eating habits and he just said, "Just eat healthier and just the stuff you like." "Go shopping with your mom and pick out what you like." Yeah, that didn't help. Sadly, I don't think the area I live in has a psych ward. I'm not sure.
I know it’s scary, and overwhelming. But it’s designed to help you. The programs and people are there to help. If you keep that in mind it makes it a little less scary. You’re going to be ok. It sounds scarier than it is.
I was put into two residential programs and it really is facility based. One of them I was allowed all my art supplies, pencils, sketch book, markers, and my Nook (electronic book device, no camera). The other I had to lock them up. One took our shoes for a period of time, the other had us wear them when ever we weren't in our rooms but did contraband checks when ever we arrived back to the program. I feel like hospital based facilities are more strict then residential. Could be wrong.
I thought about it but it's such a big thing to do. My family doesn't know about my depression and I can't tell them. Not because they will not understand, but how hurt they will be. I have to hide that from them and if I go to one of these hospitals, then the info is out. I checked online to see what people say about it and some were negative. that they take everything away, you are not alone, there other people there, that they hear screams, and that some nurses are rude.
I know it hurts to see your parents hurt, but it hurts much more when you hide it. I know these hospitals are scary and intimidating but if you let it get too far your choice to go may be gone, well that's how it is in Kentucky where i live you can refuse help but if it gets worse the government is obligated to require mental help. If you need help get it. And yeah people are gonna be rude there won't be a place in the world where a person is arrogant or rude, but you have to ignore that because you are there for help and you have a right to receive that help. The screaming could happen, but if its anything like the place im going to then they sort you by what you have so you probably wouldn't be where you could hear that. Please, it's gonna hurt your parents and you more if you don't get help, maybe look into different options because going there is a big thing and it's not the only option you have. I hope with all my heart you receive the help you need and have a full recovery!
ryukdluffy hi my name is Lisa and I am from Austria so I am sorry if my English isn’t the best I am struggling with depression too and I didn’t tell my parents 2 years. It was a hard time cause hiding them was sometimes really hard for me but I thought telling them would hurt them. If I am honest I think it hurt my mom and I think she’s thinks she’s the reason why I am struggling with depression but I keep telling her she’s not. At first my dad didn’t understand and I think he thought I was not telling the truth but after some time has past he realised I didn’t lie. My sister doesn’t understand what’s going on cause she’s too young. I decided to tell my parents cause my boyfriend always told me to do so and I think it was good that he did so because now it’s easier to tell them why I am not in a good mood. I am getting now professionell help by a psycho therapist and I also take anti depressiva. My therapist always asks me if I want to go in a meantal health hospital but I don’t know if it would be a good decision. But I think a therapist could help you with the decision and your family don’t have to know about a therapist I hope my English was not too bad and I hope I could help you and I would be grateful to hear something about you I hope you get better soon, Lisa
I leave for a private voluntary psych unit on 26/12 so just after Christmas thankyou got the help babe. I am soooo stuck with what to pack as I have a lot of medical conditions as well and worry I’ll forget something and it’s like far from my husband to come bring me stuff all the time.
my stay was scary at first. when they have you get naked for them. then just ware a gown that first nite. towlitrys and such were provided. and wernt alowed you own. food was decent the once place i was at. and say lot of group therapy. and talked to a psychiatrist every day you were there. even if it was just 5 min talk. met a lot of good people in there. then met people that ill leave that alone. but great video!
I’m only 12 but I feel like I need professional help it’s got to the point we’re I can’t go one day without wanting to k!ll myself I self harm and I don’t want to tell my parents I don’t know what to do
If you don’t want to talk to your parents right away, talk to a friend that you trust. If they aren’t helping, it’s probably good to tell a trusted adult weather that is a sibling, a school counselor, or even a parent. It might be scary telling someone but it will really help you
Look I'm no expert I'm not much older than you but tell someone please even if it's childline or a friend but talk about it and please don't kill yourself you are a great person that is valued I promise you that ok hon❤️✨ it's gonna be ok I promise
For the facility I was at, you were allowed to bring sealed packs of cigarettes. But the staff kept them and would distribute them when it was outside time.
Thank you for your help and opinions here. I'm on the autism spectrum and have Manic Depression. I'm pretty intimidated and scared, but I'm planning on admitting myself this week. I was part of outpaitient care months ago but it only helped to a degree. Much love and thanks again for your insight. -Caleb
I relapsed on pills and self harm a few days ago and caught what my dad thinks is sepsis, we are going to the ER asap and it’s only a matter of time before they find out I relapsed. Here’s to being prepared...
Thank you, i just want to have an open mind about this and not go into the place blinded by fear. I have friends that have been to many of these and their stories always worry me. Ik everyone goes through this and im not alone❤❤❤
Well based off of my experience (I’ve been in and out of those places ever since I was 15 and I’m 21 now) here in Houston, TX these were the following things I was able to bring and what I’d pack I’m offering some tips too lol: •3-4 days worth of clothing with a jacket • a pair of slides •shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, tooth paste, deodorant, brush, a scrunchy, hair gel ~everything has to be alcohol free, no mouth wash~ ~they provide hygiene for you but it’s extremely bad so I’d recommend bringing your own if you can~ • my journal, word search, a book, and my own markers (because the markers they provide on the unit are very old and beat up but a lot of the facilities I went into will provide you a journal talk to your therapist) • 3-4 packs of cigarettes (varies from facility to facility some allow smoking if your over 21+ while others are smoke free) • my iPhone, Airpods, wallet and a lighter were packed for after my stay they will lock stuff like wallets and electronic up and give them to you when you get ready to discharge. Here’s my advice for when going into an acute psych facility •focus on you and your problems •don’t get too close with the other patients •don’t get involved with a person actively having an episode, because things can go badly quick. •don’t judge others around you some people are more sick than others are. •always be alert at all times •do as your told. Go to all of your groups, eat all of your food or even half, take your meds. The more you skip these things and refuse the longer your stay there will be. The day they tell you your discharging and your told to strip your bed your going to be the happiest person! Usually you will be there from 4-7 days depends on what your there for and whether your going to all of your groups and taking your meds or not. But other than that I hope this helps! Great video! • I should note I’m talking about Acute psychiatric facilities not residential treatment centers!
Cocked on this video because I’m calling my psychiatrist tomorrow about going in. Thank you for this! Very helpful! I’ve gone in before but wanted to make sure I remembered what not to bring and what is acceptable to bring!
Thank you so much for this information! I am only 12 years old but have been constantly been feeling upset and been having su*c*dal thoughts and I think I may have to go in soon.
I’m heading to one Monday morning and I’m really nervous. Saying goodbye to my friends was heart breaking but I have positive thoughts because I know it will help me. Thanks for making this video love.
I know this is super late but would they allow an iPad for like just drawing and games? I am considering maybe asking my mother to take me to one because I feel like I might need it...
i’m not sure, the one i’m planning on going to doesn’t allow electronics (at least for minors 12-19 i’m not sure about adults). i’m sorry i can’t get an answer. my advice would be to find one near you, and try to find if it has a list that says what you can and can’t bring.
I know I'm late but, I have been struggling a lot with my mental state lately and I'm just really scared. I have the up days and the down days. On the down days, I get the worst experiences. I contemplate suicide sometimes and even self-harmed. I'm scared one day I'll go too far and finally kill myself. So I told my mom and she doesn't understand at all about how I feel. I just got lectured. So I asked if I could go to a mental hospital. She obviously was VERY against this. I then was like, "Can I at least see a therapist?" That was a no too. I don't know what to do and I really need help. Any advice?
talk to ur friends or someone you can trust or have a diary make sure to hide it tho, i get it its really hard but you have random people on the internet sporting you like me lol but you ca do this ur amazing I dont care if I dont know u I just know that ur amazing
Wow... I honestly thought there wasn't a heads up to staying in a psych ward... I always thought it was breakdown and psychward. I learned something new today.
i feel like i might need to go to one because my depressive mood swings keep getting worse and worse but i’m actually too fricken scared to ask about going to one so 🥰
The psychiatric ward did I was in we’re not allowed me to have any of my clothes just what they gave me which was disposable pans disposable underwear in hospital gowns and I was in for two weeks and psychiatric ward at the hospital that I go to
Thank you very much! You gaive alot of useable information and excplain it in away that make me feel safe and more aducated about what can hapend if i or loved one Will get in mental hospital.
This is a bit weird and this is an old video so idk if anyone will see this, but do they let bring a sleepmask? There's a string so I don't know... But I physically can't sleep without one, so....
Though it sucked getting hospitalized 4 times and the cops showing up to my work to take me away. I learned a lot about psych wards and what to order for food and what not to order. Hopefully I can stay out of the psych ward now since my medication seems like it is working minus a couple days where it didn't do anything for me. They take your phone first. They get you in scrubs and that's when you know you might get hospitalized. The first time I couldn't promise them that I would be safe. I reccomend going to the emergency room if you have bad feelings that you might hurt yourself or others. It has helped me but was a lot to go though. They will get you help if you need it. Though I still have some days that are bad I never get so bad that it's an emergency anymore.
My mom thinks of it as a bad thing, and has threatened me to send me to one several times, but my other family members have stopped her from doing so (despite the fact I didn’t really mind and actually wanna go) I don’t know how to tell her I want to go under my own will :p
I find the best way (for me personally and keep in mind I’m not a licensed mental health professional just friendly advice) to communicate especially about these sensitive topics is just sitting down and calmly staring the facts. Stating how you feel and what you feel you need in a calm, cool factual way has always gotten the best responses for me. Sitting down with your mom after having done research about good reviewed psych wards in your area, that psych wards are not torture chambers, and that you feel you are in need of help and treatment could get you an effective response from your mom. I really do with you the best of luck and I hope the best for you.
You are awesome, thank you for making this video and for spreading awareness about things that we don't have control over and therefore should not be ashamed of. You're wonderful and also HOLY COW I have the same Ninja Turtles PJs!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
In the facility I was in, we couldn’t even use regular tooth brushes. They gave us these things that you slip over your finger with a brush at the end.
It’s completely normal and totally understandable to feel terrified and nervous. It’s an unfamiliar and overwhelming environment where you feel like you won’t know what to expect at first. But you’ll quickly learn that even though it’s an adjustment there’s nothing to fear. You’ll be overwhelmed and a bit emotionally raw especially in the beginning but you’ll be in an environment that’s ultimately there to support, embrace and help you. It really helps to remember that. Everything is temporary. All that fear and anxiety WILL PASS even when it doesn’t feel like it. You’re going to be ok.
Been to the hospital 2 times and it just doesn’t get better it’s like my life is on loop 24/7 i was traumatized by it. There was a kid in there who poked her sister eye out. Yet the only way i got out the first 2 times was to lie. They asked 1/10 how depressed or anxious an all that stuff and i said 10 for every single one. I just wanted to get home.
Someone I know spent time in a few different hospitals and she was allowed to smoke. She just had to ask the nurses for one of her cigarettes and the nurses had to light the cigarette and watch her smoke.
im thinking of telling my tharpist about what im doing to myself and my mind set I do cut and please if ur reading this dont its hard to stop and it dangerous, I do think that a mental hospital will help me a lot. if ur thinking about it like cutting,etc please don't if u really need help talk to your mom,dad,sibling,etc get help if u really need it. its hard but you will be ok it mite not seem like it but it will,im not in a good place my self but im trying to get help and you should to if you really need it.
Hi there Loni. There is a website that provides resources for finding free mental health services in your area here's the link for that www.healthyplace.com/other-info/mental-illness-overview/free-mental-health-services-and-how-to-find-them Heres a link that can help you find a therapist if you're in the USA- www.mentalhealthamerica.net/finding-therapy If you (or anyone you know) are in a crisis, please do not hesitate to call the suicide prevention hotline 1-800-273-8255, and you can also reach out to mental health workers at this website as well I believesuicidepreventionlifeline.org/ If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask
I need some tips. I want to go to one for help and my mom doesn’t know I have suicidal thoughts and she doesn’t know I self harm or any of that but I asked for a therapist and I’m getting one but I’ve had therapist and haven’t really helped much so if this doesn’t work how do I say I want to go to one for help without sounding like I’m doing it for attention or I just wanna brag or something like that. I’ve had bullies that have done things like this for attention and I’m afraid that if I ask she will say something along the lines of “no your life is to good for this” or “omg I bet you just wanna fit in with all those bullies you have” so if I have thoughts and self harm and therapy doesn’t work does that mean I should consider asking or do I not need one and how do I ask
Hi Everyone! I recently made a small mental health workbook that includes a psych ward packing checklist that's available on Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B09S615QQB. I'll be doing a live q&a on Friday 2/11/22 at 7pm pst so have post notifs on!
There are other resources out there for new mothers. I’m not 100% sure which organization to reach out to (it varies by country, state, city etc) but I would look into women and children shelters in your area and see what they can do for you and where they can refer you to that can give you some kind outpatient psychiatric care. Or, reach out to your county health services, primary care doctor or insurance company to look for outpatient care so you can be seen during the day. Group therapy or meetings are also a great option. I’m not a doctor or therapist so take this with a grain of salt but I hope I was able to give you some info here. There are also some links in my description that can help you find therapists and free mental health care.
Hey, i have a question, i use a chew toy everyday because of my anxiety, and if i dont i bite my nails and drestroy them, sometimes leading to blood, are chew toys aloud there? Thanks!

If you take the string out it’s impossible to get it back in
so basically if you dont want the string taken out of your favorite hoodie don’t bring it and bring a hoodie that you like that doesnf have strings
good to know
You can use a safety pin and hook it to the string and pull on the pin through the hole.(you can look up how to do it)
i do it all the time for fun lmao (just pull the knot and pinch the hoodie idk if that made sense)
if the hoodie doesn’t have metal rings holding in the string then it’s really easy to get back in
I used a straw and a pin, threaded it through the hole in the hoodie and pulled the straw/string out the other end and boom!
Well in the USA the only thing you can have in a psych ward and i know i been in many is Deodorant,Bodywash, Your own toothbrush is a must and toothpaste, And only 3 outfits maybe 5 if you're lucky.

Jeon jungkook escape well you still can
Pug Tato LMAO
Well based off of my experience (I’ve been in and out of those places ever since I was 15 and I’m 21 now) here in Houston, TX these were the following things I was able to bring and what I’d pack I’m offering some tips too lol:
•3-4 days worth of clothing with a jacket
• a pair of slides
•shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, tooth paste, deodorant, brush, a scrunchy, hair gel ~everything has to be alcohol free, no mouth wash~ ~they provide hygiene for you but it’s extremely bad so I’d recommend bringing your own if you can~
• my journal, word search, a book, and my own markers (because the markers they provide on the unit are very old and beat up but a lot of the facilities I went into will provide you a journal talk to your therapist)
• 3-4 packs of cigarettes (varies from facility to facility some allow smoking if your over 21+ while others are smoke free)
• my iPhone, Airpods, wallet and a lighter were packed for after my stay they will lock stuff like wallets and electronic up and give them to you when you get ready to discharge.
Here’s my advice for when going into an acute psych facility
•focus on you and your problems
•don’t get too close with the other patients
•don’t get involved with a person actively having an episode, because things can go badly quick.
•don’t judge others around you some people are more sick than others are.
•always be alert at all times
•do as your told. Go to all of your groups, eat all of your food or even half, take your meds. The more you skip these things and refuse the longer your stay there will be.
The day they tell you your discharging and your told to strip your bed your going to be the happiest person! Usually you will be there from 4-7 days depends on what your there for and whether your going to all of your groups and taking your meds or not.
But other than that I hope this helps! Great video!
• I should note I’m talking about Acute psychiatric facilities not residential treatment centers!
Cocked on this video because I’m calling my psychiatrist tomorrow about going in. Thank you for this! Very helpful! I’ve gone in before but wanted to make sure I remembered what not to bring and what is acceptable to bring!
my therapist and i are getting ready to make the decision on me going to hospital, this video was great for me thank you
I’m checking myself in today and your attitude about the situation made feel more at ease thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for this information! I am only 12 years old but have been constantly been feeling upset and been having su*c*dal thoughts and I think I may have to go in soon.
I’m heading to one Monday morning and I’m really nervous. Saying goodbye to my friends was heart breaking but I have positive thoughts because I know it will help me. Thanks for making this video love.
good luck! wish you all the best. staying positive is really important :)
I know this is super late but would they allow an iPad for like just drawing and games? I am considering maybe asking my mother to take me to one because I feel like I might need it...
i’m not sure, the one i’m planning on going to doesn’t allow electronics (at least for minors 12-19 i’m not sure about adults). i’m sorry i can’t get an answer. my advice would be to find one near you, and try to find if it has a list that says what you can and can’t bring.
They don't from my experience
I've heard that some long-term stays allow some electronics, other then short-term stays.
going in a few hours cuz crisis things i’m super scared but thank you for the video
I know I'm late but, I have been struggling a lot with my mental state lately and I'm just really scared. I have the up days and the down days. On the down days, I get the worst experiences. I contemplate suicide sometimes and even self-harmed. I'm scared one day I'll go too far and finally kill myself. So I told my mom and she doesn't understand at all about how I feel. I just got lectured. So I asked if I could go to a mental hospital. She obviously was VERY against this. I then was like, "Can I at least see a therapist?" That was a no too. I don't know what to do and I really need help. Any advice?
Is there someone you can talk to at school or is there a place young people can get advice near you? S
talk to ur friends or someone you can trust or have a diary make sure to hide it tho, i get it its really hard but you have random people on the internet sporting
you like me lol but you ca do this ur amazing I dont care if I dont know u I just know that ur amazing
If I ever opened up to my therapist too much, I know id go there. I choose to come prepared
Wow... I honestly thought there wasn't a heads up to staying in a psych ward... I always thought it was breakdown and psychward. I learned something new today.
i feel like i might need to go to one because my depressive mood swings keep getting worse and worse but i’m actually too fricken scared to ask about going to one so 🥰
I’m hoping to go sometime this year thanks for this
Packing a care package for a friend, who might go there soon, so this was really helpful, thank you
I'm going on Sunday. I'm trying to prepare for the worst so thank you.
The psychiatric ward did I was in we’re not allowed me to have any of my clothes just what they gave me which was disposable pans disposable underwear in hospital gowns and I was in for two weeks and psychiatric ward at the hospital that I go to
Thank you so much for this video. I’m going inpatient tomorrow and I’m terrified
Thanks for this!

My 80 day ass is so jealous of you 😭
I’m gonna go tonight I just feel so broken so thank you for this
How are you doing now?
This is a bit weird and this is an old video so idk if anyone will see this, but do they let bring a sleepmask? There's a string so I don't know... But I physically can't sleep without one, so....
I’m going tomorrow, wish me luck.
I might be going to one and I’m freaking out!
Getting referred to the waiting list tomorrow.. so idk when I’m going, so I gotta prepare💪🏻
I'm working up the courage to tell my mom I'm suicidal and I'm researching before hand to get ready for a hospital
I wish you the best mate! You got this❤❤❤
@@Angellucillexoxo Thank you! ;;;
Just found this channel today and think it’s really helpful
Thank you so much I’m going soon bc I’m a young child and need me problems fixed so I can live a full life and you made it much better❤️❤️
thanks, i might be going into one pretty soon so it feels a bit better on, um, like being prepared
I could have really used the video a little while ago
thank you, i think i am going to go to one next week so this helps a lot
i'm most likely going in next week. thank you for this. i'm packing early so i have everything set.
Though it sucked getting hospitalized 4 times and the cops showing up to my work to take me away. I learned a lot about psych wards and what to order for food and what not to order. Hopefully I can stay out of the psych ward now since my medication seems like it is working minus a couple days where it didn't do anything for me. They take your phone first. They get you in scrubs and that's when you know you might get hospitalized. The first time I couldn't promise them that I would be safe. I reccomend going to the emergency room if you have bad feelings that you might hurt yourself or others. It has helped me but was a lot to go though. They will get you help if you need it. Though I still have some days that are bad I never get so bad that it's an emergency anymore.
Contemplating wether i should go, leaning towards more of a yes.
6:28 when i was in the psych ward there was no structure, we just sat arround doing nothing at all
i’ve been to 4 and i completely agree with everything in this video
Going tomorrow thx!!
My mom thinks of it as a bad thing, and has threatened me to send me to one several times, but my other family members have stopped her from doing so (despite the fact I didn’t really mind and actually wanna go) I don’t know how to tell her I want to go under my own will :p
I find the best way (for me personally and keep in mind I’m not a licensed mental health professional just friendly advice) to communicate especially about these sensitive topics is just sitting down and calmly staring the facts. Stating how you feel and what you feel you need in a calm, cool factual way has always gotten the best responses for me. Sitting down with your mom after having done research about good reviewed psych wards in your area, that psych wards are not torture chambers, and that you feel you are in need of help and treatment could get you an effective response from your mom. I really do with you the best of luck and I hope the best for you.
Are you allowed to bring a comfort object, such as a stuffed animal or something like that?
Sometimes
Calling my therapist about a psych ward tomorrow, thanks for this :)
You are awesome, thank you for making this video and for spreading awareness about things that we don't have control over and therefore should not be ashamed of. You're wonderful and also HOLY COW I have the same Ninja Turtles PJs!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
In the facility I was in, we couldn’t even use regular tooth brushes. They gave us these things that you slip over your finger with a brush at the end.
Hahaha this recommendation tho 😅
Love the tips btw 😉
I'll visit someday
I'm going soon for a 2-4 week residential for my ED and I'm so terrified
It’s completely normal and totally understandable to feel terrified and nervous. It’s an unfamiliar and overwhelming environment where you feel like you won’t know what to expect at first. But you’ll quickly learn that even though it’s an adjustment there’s nothing to fear. You’ll be overwhelmed and a bit emotionally raw especially in the beginning but you’ll be in an environment that’s ultimately there to support, embrace and help you. It really helps to remember that. Everything is temporary. All that fear and anxiety WILL PASS even when it doesn’t feel like it. You’re going to be ok.
thank you for this, it’s super helpful
This will be my first time I'm really nervous
Been to the hospital 2 times and it just doesn’t get better it’s like my life is on loop 24/7 i was traumatized by it. There was a kid in there who poked her sister eye out. Yet the only way i got out the first 2 times was to lie. They asked 1/10 how depressed or anxious an all that stuff and i said 10 for every single one. I just wanted to get home.
i went to one first week of november, and i'm struggling worse than before. i keep asking my parents to let me go back, but they ignore me
How do I know if I should go to a mental facility? I've thought about it but I don't know if I'm just overreacting
Might need this soon.
Going to one next week! tysm
Thank you for this ... much needed.
Kill the background music though, it caused me stress and drew attention away from what you were saying.
Thank you so much for your comment! And duly noted, thank you for your input!
Someone I know spent time in a few different hospitals and she was allowed to smoke. She just had to ask the nurses for one of her cigarettes and the nurses had to light the cigarette and watch her smoke.
I’m admitting myself and I’m preparing so this is very helpful 🤍
Don't go sis. They don't give a shit
Stay home.
Thank you for this xx
im thinking of telling my tharpist about what im doing to myself and my mind set I do cut and please if ur reading this dont its hard to stop and it dangerous, I do think that a mental
hospital will help me a lot. if ur thinking about it like cutting,etc please don't if u really need help talk to your mom,dad,sibling,etc get help if u really need it. its hard but you will be ok it mite not seem like it but it will,im not in a good place my self but im trying to get help and you should to if you really need it.
I never had a chance to pack for the hospital trip yet
are you allowed to bring your personal cell devices (phone, laptop, tablet)?
Thinking about going to one
I want to go but my parents probably won't let me and there isn't one in my country or anywhere near me the closest one I think is over 2 hours away
I have thoughts and idk what to do or who to talk to
Hi there Loni. There is a website that provides resources for finding free mental health services in your area here's the link for that www.healthyplace.com/other-info/mental-illness-overview/free-mental-health-services-and-how-to-find-them
Heres a link that can help you find a therapist if you're in the USA- www.mentalhealthamerica.net/finding-therapy
If you (or anyone you know) are in a crisis, please do not hesitate to call the suicide prevention hotline
1-800-273-8255, and you can also reach out to mental health workers at this website as well I believesuicidepreventionlifeline.org/
If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask
For me they wouldn't give my clothes I had packed and made me stay in a hospital gown which caused me to have a meltdown and end up in restraints
I rlly need to go I’m in terrible mental state but my family doesn’t have the money and I’m terrified to ask my dad
Thanks, can someone tell me if ima be getting sent just from their experience/knowledge for when I get evaluated to see if I’m getting admitted
i think i should go to one i have s knife and im scared one day ill just *cutty cut cut*
Hey, are you okay? Keep the knife as far away as possible, if you can.
@@kawaii_toonz8977 no im not ok
Hey, are you okay now? Please take care of yourself
@@arrowhead8856 hey yeah I'm okay now I went to a mental hospital and I'm now on meds I feel better than before thank you for checking on me:)
Hey, @Canabeera Kingdom (or anyone please)
Can you let me know how to let my therapist know that I might think it would be good for me? Or my mum?
I need some tips. I want to go to one for help and my mom doesn’t know I have suicidal thoughts and she doesn’t know I self harm or any of that but I asked for a therapist and I’m getting one but I’ve had therapist and haven’t really helped much so if this doesn’t work how do I say I want to go to one for help without sounding like I’m doing it for attention or I just wanna brag or something like that. I’ve had bullies that have done things like this for attention and I’m afraid that if I ask she will say something along the lines of “no your life is to good for this” or “omg I bet you just wanna fit in with all those bullies you have” so if I have thoughts and self harm and therapy doesn’t work does that mean I should consider asking or do I not need one and how do I ask
Going to one on Monday for the first time and I’m so scared
How did it go? 🌼
Moonlight Glxssy it went really well actually I found out my tru diagnosis and now I can find my treatment. I am now the proud owner of BPD 😭
Hi Everyone! I recently made a small mental health workbook that includes a psych ward packing checklist that's available on Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B09S615QQB. I'll be doing a live q&a on Friday 2/11/22 at 7pm pst so have post notifs on!
i want, no, i need to go there but i really don't know how to tell my parents :(
Hey tell them how you feel I'm sure they're gonna be accepting
Possibly going soon...But i need to know, do you think I'd be able to bring my reborn baby? I'm afraid I won't go without him
No you won't.
@@corpsenugget455 Guess I won't go then...
There are other resources out there for new mothers. I’m not 100% sure which organization to reach out to (it varies by country, state, city etc) but I would look into women and children shelters in your area and see what they can do for you and where they can refer you to that can give you some kind outpatient psychiatric care. Or, reach out to your county health services, primary care doctor or insurance company to look for outpatient care so you can be seen during the day. Group therapy or meetings are also a great option. I’m not a doctor or therapist so take this with a grain of salt but I hope I was able to give you some info here. There are also some links in my description that can help you find therapists and free mental health care.
Hey, i have a question, i use a chew toy everyday because of my anxiety, and if i dont i bite my nails and drestroy them, sometimes leading to blood, are chew toys aloud there? Thanks!
Watching this just in case... I’m pretty young and really scared because people keep threatening to send me there ;-;
I have absolutely never been told I couldn’t have shoelaces. Interesting
Michelle Kelly yeah every single one I’ve been at, you could not have shoe laces sadly
