I was admitted to the hospital by my psychiatrist because the voice I had in my head that was telling me to kill myself had gotten much worse and out of control. So I was admitted immediately within the same day. I was in the child and adolescent inpatient unit for 2 weeks. With new medications and a pile of diagnoses. I'm thankful because I learnt new relaxation and stress controlling techniques which helped make the voice disappear. Being in the hospital helped alot too because I got immediate help when I needed it. Although it was very boring and I got pretty home sick in those 2 weeks it helped alot.
I got diagnosed with Anxiety disorder, Depression, Psychosis, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Separation anxiety. I was put on Risperidone (2tablets a day) and Sertraline (3tablets a day).
I still have troubles with the anxiety part. But overall I'm doing alot better than how I was before.
