Thoughts On Going To A Hospital?

[Emiko]

@Emiko, since you are still in school I wonder how old you are. Do your parents know of your dilemma? Are they aware of these thoughts and feelings? Could they not drive you to hospital?

I'm 18, and in my state we stay in school until we're 18 usually, sometimes people graduate early.
My parents do know, however I feel telling them anything is going to make it worse for me. They blame me for my depression, and think of it as a joke. If I try telling them more than they already know, they either have an emotional breakdown or laugh it off. They could, but I'd rather not get them to drive me.

I feel it's important that I go to a hospital,

You posted this yesterday. I am guessing as you are still online that you did not go. That could be interpreted as a positive thing? Did you change your mind and feel, even just a little bit better? Are you feeling that you can safely wait until you have seen the psychiatrist on Tuesday?

If the answer is no, then you need to take action now, and get some real-life help. Sure your parents may not be supportive, but do you have anyone else to confide in? Relative, therapist, friend, even a sibling or teacher?

Please don't suffer alone.

I won't be going until at least Tuesday, as that's when I see my psychiatrist.

In all honesty, I feel a lot worse, but that's just because of something that happened. But I believe I will be able to stay safe until Tuesday. It's only 2 days, and school will keep me busy until then.

I have friends to confide in, but that's it. However, most of them just anger me with it, ask me too many questions, treat me differently, so I don't like talking about it too often.

Thank you, by the way.
