Ok so my depression has been worse than its ever been before. I want to give up, im tired of fighting. So i spoke to my doctor and she thinks i should go into hospital until i get through this bad spell. Part of me thinks it will be a good idea cos i dunno how long i can hold on and at least i will be safe, but then again it will be really scary and i dont know how to tell my mum. She thinks everything is fine, im putting on this happy-front, she thinks im happy and coping great but its the opposite. well i dunno what to do, advice would be GREAT!!!

" That's a hard situation. But your mom knows about the doctor visits in general, right? So she knows that there is generally something wrong. Hospital stays are often very beneficial to the patients. If you get through this, then maybe you will learn something and it won't be quite so bad when you get out.

I can relate to how that feels because you feel like you should tell you mom, but she doesn't know everything and you may be afraid that it might hurt her. But what she doesn't know CAN hurt her because something could happen to you. And if something did, she would regret that you didn't tell her. So my advice is to tell her. Even if you don't say everything, just tell her that your doctor thinks it is best. "

" I have actually been to a hospital. It's really great. Once I got out I was so much better. I highly suggest it. Uhm telling your mom is going to be something that your doctor can tell her. I had my doctor tell my mom, and my mom came picked me up from my grandparents ( Iwas kicked out at the time) and brought me to the hospital. My mom said that I was a strong person for admitting that I needed help. It's true it takes a very big person to say that they need help. Good luck. "
