Well I am only 16, and when the word "hospitalization" came up in a counselling session my mother was pissed at me and told me to act like I am better.

Counselor found out, CPS go involved. I was scared and pretending to be fine again. Hospitalization can really f*** with people around you. They judge you, dont understand and it can make things real awkward real fast. But If I could avoid the awkwardness and the pain I would most likely cause my 14 year old sister, I would have opened completely up to that counselor last year and most def would have been thrown in a ward.

Point is: I suggest you talk to your psych about hospitalization. I've seen friends and family members completely healed in a couple months of hospitalization, one time even just 3 days helped them greatly. I say go for it.

Trippy
