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?

i used to try to dehydrate myself or try make myself sick so i could go to the hospital but it never worked. i don’t know why i just really want to be admitted. it’s like i don’t want to outright tell anyone i need serious help but i still wanna try to get there:(

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

please advice please!!!!
I feel like there’s no way out of this. everyday i’m anxious and depressed from these thoughts. i feel like i have to constantly question if it’s OCD or not. the panic attacks are insane and i freak out. and a compulsion i have is looking eveything up on the internet when im stressing to know that it’s just my OCD and im not in danger. but looking things up add on to my thoughts and i start thinking “what if” actual suidcal people think. do others with this theme whenever they do something like if im taking a picture it’ll be like “yeah you look happy people will wonder what happened when your gone” LIKE i DO NOT want to end my life. or even as simple as cleaning my room, “yup keep it clean so when your family goes through your stuff” then i panic and can’t even do anything. those thoughts distress me so bad. i’ll sit there and think how good my life is or when im having a good day my thoughts will be like “NOPEEE what if your just saying that to convince yourself” it never shuts up and genuinely makes me think i have SI or something. i hope this reaches the right people just to know im not alone. Even when i do get better in the back of my mind it’s always “people who want to are the same a day before too” im genuinely scared and im scared one day im going to just snap and do it because its “too much” do i need to go to a mental hospital! i feel insane.

I don’t know what’s wrong
I can’t stop crying. My thoughts are going insane, they’re so fast I can’t keep up. I want to tell everyone around me what’s happening (my family doesn’t even know about my OCD). I can’t seem to resist compulsions today. I’m freaking out. I want to give up. I feel like I’m suffocating in whatever is going on. I feel like I need to go to a hospital. I don’t know how to ask for help. I don’t feel okay. I don’t understand this at all. It feels like I took some random drug. I’m really scared I’m sorry, I am so panicked. It’s embarrassing but I feel so desperate for help right now I feel crazy

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.
