Omg I just had this same thought yesterday! I was almost hoping to get put into a hospital. Funny, can’t say that to most people. Anyway, I have been hospitalized a few times over the past 30 years and o can’t say it was pleasant. But it was a break. I think I’m looking for someone else to take care of me or something. You are right, you don’t have to be strong there. It’s ok to be scared. Sometimes it seems really comforting. That worries me....but it’s good to know others have thought the same.

Im afraid to go to mental hospital actually cause im afraid of men i dont know. (I had therapy for PTSD i developed it from being attack by a man but I'm still not over it completely) . And since the fact I'm afraid of being in a mental hospital I'm more afraid of developing schizofrenia which is my theme cause probably in a psychosis sooner or later you'll end up in mental hospital at least for one night .. but idk probably I think its it's worse than it actually is. How is there in mental hospitals?

Sometimes yes. But I have to be honest. I have been in multiple mental hospitals and they really only get u stable enough to seek treatment on the outside. It never got it all sorted out unfortunately. Wish it would have

Its not that bad. It can be a good place for support when you’re in a mental health crisis. The thing is is that I used to think that I could go in then come out being almost all better, but it doesn’t work like that. It’s very boring but it’s also an extremely supportive environment. You don’t have to feel like u need to lie about being ‘fine’ there. Ppl are very understanding and realize that you need help.

As much as I liked it being ok to not be ok I still don’t ever want to have to go back

I can't do this anymore
I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.

Questions
There are times my harm ocd has me convinced that my feelings of self harm or suicide and harm are real and that any moment I could commit the act on myself or my family. Is there anyone who can chime in on this. I feel like all the time I want to leave run away or avoid my family because of these thoughts. Like I shouldn’t be around my children and I don’t trust myself.
