Mental Health: Mental Hospital?

Mental Hospital?Yeah, I've been in two mental hospitals over the past month or so. I'm not 'insane' but I'm dealing with a shit load of stuff that I obviously cannot handle on my own. I am on medication and I'm continuing to receive treatment.

Anyone else been in a mental hospital? Tell me about your experience.

Answer by Amy
Ive been to one. It wasn't horrible and having multiple people to talk to at all hours of the day was extremely beneficial. Also, i met a lot of other teens who i related to really well.

my ex went to a mental hospital for 3 weeks.
he also had too much crap happen at once to be able to handle it all.....

he said it was just what he needed. he sad it was a good place to clear his head and pretty much like a vacation away from life where he learned a lot about himself.

I've been to one twice, both for suicidal threats... the first time I was about 12 yrs old... I was there for a few days and got out and felt ok for a few weeks before slipping right back into my depression (guess I just needed a vacation)... I don't remember everything that happened when I was there that time though... The second time I was 16... I was there 2 weeks longer than the average stay... They treated me for insomnia and depression and put me on pills. It took 4 times the normal dose of sleeping pills to get me to fall asleep for more than an hour. I still believe that everything that they did didn't help me at all... if anything it made me worse. While I was there my father who had been charged with sexual abuse of a child several years before then got permission from the courts to see me... I hadn't seen him in 6 or 7 years... I believe that was the one thing that helped me while I was there. A few weeks after I got out I made the decision to stop taking my medication because I couldn't stand the "numb" feeling that it gave me. Shortly after that I made myself stop taking my sleeping pills because I had become completely dependant on them... if I didn't have them I wouldn't sleep... I just went cold-turkey and stayed up for 3 days straight before getting any sleep... it took about 2 weeks to get onto a normal sleeping schedule. I got a girlfriend after a few months and she helped me get completely over my depression. We broke up last year, but we still get along. Loving, and being loved was far better for me than any doctor or therapist could ever give me.
