Ok I've known that it's normal to be really depressed and cry over something, but for me I cry for no reason at all. I live with my wife, but she can't be with me 24/7. I don't have a psychiatrist or a therapist. Last therapist I went to I ended up feeling like a failure and that I wasn't "ready" to get better. So I gave up.

Maybe it's the responsibilities you have (I'm guessing). I think the only reason they would keep you is because you are thinking of hurting yourself or are experiencing psychotic thoughts. You came across in your post as being level headed.

I've been in the hospital twice. Once was against my will. That really pissed me off. The reason hospitals are such a bad thing is they are like a freaking adult daycare. You do nothing but sit around 80% of the time and the Drs are more interested in getting medication in you than treating the root of the problem. I have tried one time to present why I didn't need to be in there and they didn't bother listening. So the more I think about it.....I dont need to goto a mental hospital. They won't help me.
