Should I return to the psych ward?

[Bella]

You know one of my favorite quotes is "before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by as$holes.". Sigmund Freud came up with that. Just because people delete you off Facebook or you don't really have any friends does not mean you are at fault for it. You just have yet to find real friends that will put up with whatever. That's something you need to simply give time. Sometimes things in life simply won't knock, so then you just have to build your own door, then open it. Meaning sometimes you have to go out and find people yourself. Or whatever your problem might be.

Hospitals won't do a thing except evaluate and medicate you. The hospitals job is to stabilize you to the point where for the meantime people can function normally in society (I work as a medical assistant in my state psych center intake). If you feel like you can't take it anymore, it may be for the best to go back.


What's there really to live for? You tell me. Just because you can't think of something doesn't mean there isn't anything out there for you. Are you married, kids, employed? Maybe a student? You have to find something to occupy yourself with.

What I tell emergency patients that get typically brought in by the police for trying to end it all (even though I am not really supposed to talk to them) is us as humans have a purpose in life. Regardless of what your religious or belief background is that we somehow ended up on this earth for a reason. If there were no reason why would we be here? No point in making a group of happy people then a group of unhappy people. Life is exactly what you want to make out of it. I wouldn't quite give up yet if I were you. Try to get out and find more friends, take up some different courses, switch jobs if you even need to. Try to fix what's bothering you. If you can't do it on your own, find someone to help you.
