When do you know its time to go to the hospital for your mental health?

Like what are the signs?

I never have.

Main reason being due to judgement. Also you have known yourself for so long that way, you're afraid you'll become a stranger for yourself, even if it's for the better. Trying to get someone into a hospital/mental health facility is as equivalent as getting a drug addict to get help. You can't force anyone, because that'll make the situation worse.

I know I deal with depression, anxiety, body dysmorphia, and the symptoms that come with all that.

But it's not so simple to just get up and go. Two of my best friends didn't get help until they had done something to get them permitted, which basically had family call 911. The bravest thing someone can do is actually get up and go without any intervention from friends or family.

Things are becoming out of your control mentally. Like you are starting to lose grip on reality. Everything is starting to become dark and you may feel like the only way out is through harming oneself.

This is not the only sign but the best one I can think of.

Others might be hearing things or seeing things that aren't there.

When you realize you need a diagnosis to get that sweet sweet tax free $3,600 from VA every month. Fuck working forever right?

Go as soon as you think you need help.


Waiting until you’re losing control for real will be much more difficult.
