If you feel you need mental help don't hesitate to go to a mental health hospital

I turned myself into a Psychiatric hospital and it really helped me find myself again and realize what I need to do for myself to get through the pain and hurt.

Definitely get all the help you can and see a psychiatrist or suitably qualified therapist. You will heal and move forward with your life. Just keep pushing on and try to stay positive about your future.

Very brave and happy it worked for you
by: Lindsey

Hi, I think it was brave of you to turn yourself into a psychiatric hospital. I would not have dared to do that in case my ex used it to prove I was not mentally balanced enough to look after my children.

For those in similar positions, I would have thought pursuing individual therapy or attending support groups would also help, and journaling!

Thanks for your thoughts :)
