Should I check myself in to a mental institution?

Question

I’ve struggled with depression, anxiety and no polar disorder since I was 12. Didn’t get treated till I was 17 (19 now) and my meds don’t really work. I’m seeing a counselor but I always just feel really depressed and have been thinking about suicide lately. When I’m driving I think about letting go of the wheel and just letting the car go wherever. I used to cut myself when I was young (like 13-14 years old.)

Answer

You need different medication if yours is not working. 
It does get better I promise you.

Answer

Call you cousleor and ask to be seen right away if you dont want to check yourself in.

Answer

Go talk to your counselor ASAP! 
Your life matters, you matter. Time will heal everything. ❤️

Answer

You may not feel like it right now but your life is valuable .. considering you are having suicidal ideation I think checking yourself in to get help is a great idea .. even if you don’t want to be hospitalized .. you can go to an intensive outpatient care program . Kudos for speaking up. You’re helping someone and you don’t even know it.

Answer

Therapy can be way more helpful, maybe talk about antidepressants

Answer

It’s so much easier for them to adjust your meds when you’re in inpatient. My sister is bipolar and she makes so much more progress when she’s actually admitted somewhere versus staying home and just going to appointments. After a few weeks she’s in a much better place and can manage her depression/mania at home with just her normal appointments.
I hope things get better for you soon. 💕

Answer

Please get yourself checked. 
Please make responsible decisions. 
I hope you feel better soon.
