depression causes short term memory too. You said you felt better after a walk. Can you try today?

[Hidden]

I went in mental hospital- they listen but most of time you are isolated in your own space. But I needed the time to sort self out

Turning point in my life. The rest was mess. They sorted my meds out

Hi Tuxi😊 Nice to meet you👏

[LAAG]

Going into hospital helped my husband. There were lots of therapy classes that he attended throughout the day. His medication was reviewed and monitored and he came out more equipped to cope. You do then have to keep on top of your self care and therapy. He hasn’t and has slipped back a bit but at least he could see he was slipping back.

Couple of months the hotline told me to go into a crises center but i didnt

[Doelioness]

Please hold on thats not a place your children need to see you in 😔😔 are you able to meditate at all maybe have a look at your meds side effects too because it may be them idk i don't know much about your situation but please keep strong and positive 🌺🌺🌹🌹

[bethelbee in reply to Doelioness]

What do you mean it's not a place his children need to see him in? I've been hospitalized before and it wasn't bad at all. I got the help I needed and was around others going through similar circumstances. I replied to him it may be a good idea to go.

[MaggieSylvie]

I think you need a rest; if hospital will give you that, it may not be the worst place to be. You need not to be there too long. Certainly, something needs to change, whether it's medication, environment, stress triggers, and don't allow others to drive your life. It's yours, not theirs.🤗

My brother went to hospital to rest his mind. He is a very proud man and not a believer in therapy etc.

He came out equipped with the skills to keep himself well, he had the time, space and medication along with therapy to mend. He now states he has no regrets.

Your children will be very proud of you, and you are teaching them about self compassion and how to help yourself in this challenging world we live in.

I wish you all the best on your journey of healing. You deserve happiness.

I'm very happy this worked out well for your brothers and others who have mentioned it here. But let's face it, not all mental hospitals are great. A friend of mine checked herself into one and said her 2 nights there were traumatic. It's important to do a little investigation first if possible.

[Lemonade915]

I am not a parent therefore I cannot know what is like to live with your depression. I believe it is important to discuss with your children that you are depressed and getting help. The brain is an organ and sometimes doesn't function normally just as a heart or stomach. It's not always easy for a Psychiatrist to prescribe the right medication because their isn't a blood test to diagnose which neurotransmitter it needs more or less of to function normally. Medication has to be increased and changed if not working. It can be very difficult. Children understand more than adults give them credit. They will want you to get better. If you have to be admitted to the hospital, its only temporary and you will get better.

[bethelbee]

Going into the hospital may not be a bad idea. It helped me a few times. It's not a horrible place as some may think. You'd be monitored, get therapy, and be around others in similar situations. I hope things work out for you and you get to feeling better!

[Pel3749]

Hi, hope today brings you some peace. Listen to what your doctor suggests for your recovery. In house therapy can be very helpful and other people there are going through the same issues. Listen to your heart and you will be guided. Keep us posted. Best of Luck and God bless.

[Cassie1508]

Hi, I have been in a mental hospital a couple of times, due to mental breakdown and I have to say, although they aren’t like hotels, they can help you to get better and monitor your meds to ensure they are right for you. I really wish you all the best x

I was lucky I went to a nice facility. They take away everything metal, including your wedding ring. Take comfy clothes that fit without a belt. Oh no strings on your shoes or pants. Sweats are perfect. They limit the amount of clothes you can bring with you. Put together at least 3 full outfits. Bedding is minimal throw a comforter in with your stuff. You might not get to use it initially but it can help if you can access it. There was access to an outside courtyard, a day room for some time for your to choose an activity. We had group sessions and individual time with therapists. Forget about privacy they keep a good eye on you. You will be safe from yourself. It is a huge relief to know you can relax. Now it is interesting to people watch. Other patients on the ward tend to be really kind. We ate in a lunch in a cafeteria. They count all the silverware before you all can leave. Try to stay hydrated, sleep, and do the work.

I understand your struggle. Depression is extremely fatiguing. You are not a burden. You have a right to be here, imperfections and all. My opinion is that hospitals are a good thing. Please don't stigmatize your self. Psychiatric hospital are an important resource. If you go, I suggest you discuss visitation with the mother of your children and your children themselves. It is unfortunate that as a society we still see the brain/mind different than the body. I have been hospitalized inpatient twice and partial hospitalization twice. I found both times to be beneficial. I was exhausted. You must be too. I have been in meds for some years now and I think the patient education and therapy saved my life. I came to understand this: life is neither simple nor fair. I wish you well.
