Another fear - considering checking myself into hospital

[Mover2]

I am considering check myself into a hospital. Has anyone had a positive outcome after doing so? I don’t know what to expect- I am scared.

@Mover2 I am proud of you considering an inpatient program. I am considering a similar step and I am every bit as scared as you are now. This is a big step to take as my t keeps reminding me but it is a step forward and don't you deserve to move forward?

At this point, everything is on the table, but my emotions are all over the board. If I could stick to one decision two days in a row, I might do it. lol. Shame is the worst, I had a appt with a SSDI dr. yesterday and I feel I always have a need to explain "in real life, I am not a nut" or that "

lol there it goes lol I not dumb I can use a computer - I just cannot think. lmao. I feel like an idiot most of the time. Simply task is very difficult right now. It is why I do not post much. - I think it is my I thought I was a prefectionist because I was able to keep my secret for so long. Blah not making sense. Thanks for trying to read and understand my post.

What kind of hospital?

You are going to get a better result imho if you go into a trauma unit (on average).

I agree with @EveHarrington
As to experience and outcome, I have had both good and bad, but I am going to tell you the good, as it in line with @EveHarrington post, I was at sheppard pratt last september, best thing I ever did, they taught me how to manage my flashbacks, and intrusive thoughts, etc. Without them I probably would not exist. In fact I am in the process of trying to get re-admitted there. You should check out the places that deal with trauma as a unit or facility (not some therapist group and such who have trauma as some of what they treat), stay away from PIW (Psych Inst Washington). I was there once and it was very traumatizing.
