You need to do what will get you through the weekend. Color, exercise, bake, clean, packing, self-imaging (in relaxing scenarios), writing, photography, crafts, etc. Whatever interests you slightly, to get your mind off things.

I've gone into the psych hospital more than a few times. Not all aspects are fun, no. But, it was the right thing for me to do for myself in those times. I don't regret my decisions to go in. Hospitals have improved a lot (thank goodness!) over the past 20+ years ~ and it isn't like "One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest" at all anymore. A lot of laws and regulations have been put into place to allow patients human rights and respect from employees. So, try not to worry about the hospitalization being a horrifying experience. It's really NOT that bad.

I wish you the very best! You'll be in my thoughts and hopes ~ gentle hugs to you.
