Depression - Teen Support Group
Teen depression is marked by persistent sadness, discouragement, loss of self-worth, and loss of interest in usual activities. Depression can be a temporary response to many situations and stresses. Teens may be more susceptible to depression due to the normal maturation process, the stress associated with it, and conflicts with parents as they become more independent.
Im seriously contemplating telling my mom to take me to the hospital because my urge to kill myself's terribly high right now. My anxiety's over the edge horrible and I was honestly on the floor of my mom's car screaming and crying because she wanted to take me to a resturaunt for my dad's birthday. I dont know what the fuck's wrong with me, but i know Im GOING TO kill myself if I dont get some sort of help. So, I may just tell her to help me and take me to a hospital.But im scared.
You see, i dont trust hospitals and i dont know what they'll do to me. If i were to attempt to kill myself, what would they do to me, and how long would i stay? I just want to get some help or im gonna just slit my wrists.

Bascially what happens (or at least what happened in mine, but I'm sure the basic things are the same), you'll be there for about week, maybe two. You'll go to group therapy, individual therapy, and they may change your meds(not sure if you're on any atm, but...) There will probably nurses, doctors, etc. for you to talk to anytime you need it. One thing that's also helpful is getting away from "real life" for a while, and focusing on you and your recovery.
Are you going to see a therapist? If so, maybe talk to her about what's been going on, and why you want to go to the hospital, and see if she thinks it's a step you should take.
Don't know if this helped, but I hope you feel better :)
