I Went To A Psychiatric Hospital When I Was 16 - AMA
I'm super open about this. When I was a sophomore in high school, I had probably one of the best years of my life. I was the happiest I had ever been, and then that summer, everything just...plummeted. I became super depressed, and struggled a lot with self harm. It felt like fighting actual demons to try not to self harm. I also haves severe OCD, so my mind kind of create a scenario where I felt as though/and was completely convinced this was the case, that if I didn't harm myself, I would black out and end my life against my will, and I really didn't want to die. I harmed myself, and then texted 911 to let them know that I did this. They sent the police and EMTs. They looked at my injuries, and then I was put on a psychiatric hold at a hospital. I remember feeling so alone, and I don't ever want other people to feel that way, so I'm open to answering anything.
