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 am so scared and alone.
Hi everyone. So recently I have been feeling so scared and paranoid of going crazy. I am terrified of i will go crazy and turn schizo. I’m so hyper aware of everything. My mind convinces me that I will end up like this but I really don’t want to.It’s my biggest fear and I think abt it almost everyday and I can’t handle it anymore. I just want to be ok. I have told my parents this and they say it’s all in my head and just laugh at me. I know it’s in my head but I physically feel sick to my stomach being constantly scared. Please someone help me please please. Thank you.

Anyone else?
I can’t tell what’s right and wrong anymore. It’s like my moral compass/rationality is completely broken. I could just shut my feelings down whenever. It might sound like a good thing but it also means I wouldn’t feel any remorse or guilt or negative emotions if I were to do something immoral (hypothetically speaking). In contrast, sometimes my feelings get so deep in the way that my rationality cannot win no matter what. My brain does that out of nowhere and I hate it because it ends up triggering my OCD theme and I have to start back up to be able to cope again. It’s like I’ve developed this intense intolerance towards any sort of stress whatsoever, even the good type of stress that helps you grow. My brain just shuts down and mentally I become a kid again and I can’t listen to logic no matter what.

What should I do guys?
I’ve been feeling so disconnected lately, like I’m not even living my own life. It’s like I’m being controlled by someone else, and I have no say in what’s happening. It’s hard to put this feeling into words, but it’s like I’m here physically, but mentally, I’m just... not. Every day feels like a struggle. I wake up afraid of what’s coming next, almost like I’m bracing myself for the next bad thing to happen. Sometimes, I don’t even want to get out of bed because it feels pointless, like I’m stuck in this loop of fear and doubt. I keep questioning everything, life, my purpose, my choices, and it’s exhausting. I just want to feel like myself again, to feel like I have control, like I’m really here.
