Should I admit myself
I’ve had some seriously disturbing images going through my brain. Im debating on admitting myself. The thoughts are so traumatizing I can’t stop crying I don’t know what to do

I would recommend getting a diagnosis for ocd before anything. This was my exact predicament a year ago and then i got diagnosed with ocd and started therapy with a specialist and life is much more better and ocd has become incredibly more manageable. I know it’s hard and scary but prioritize you!

If you aren’t suicidal and I stress this if and only if you aren’t suicidal don’t do it. Get a diagnosis and therapy and meds if you feel that’s the route you need to go. Psych wards aren’t fun and most recently the ones I’ve been in are borderline abusive to patients. The mental health field is not that great. Take care and if you do have thoughts of hurting yourself and feel you are a danger then go. Take care ❤️

Thank you so much I had to get some anxiety meds to help with the thoughts. They’re really allowing to take a step back and work through them.

@Anonymous That’s great. I find the only thing that helps are benzos but drs are so hesitant to prescribe them and it’s pathetic. It’s a debilitating disease and just because they cause memory loss and can be addictive they don’t want to prescribe them and it’s not right.
