Can I Put Myself In A Mental[?] Institute?

Question

I'm not sure if that's the correct terminology but a hospital or institution for people going crazy psychologically. At this point in my life i would prefer it. I've just gone haywire. Last night i lay in my bed just sitting and i felt as if i were crazy. I thought there were people in my room talking to me, ghosts rather, and i tried calming myself town and every time i touched my hands, i though i was holding someone else's. The past few weeks have been crazy, i've tried to kill or at least harm myself, but it doesn't work, i just feel as if ive had enough with life. i want to go away somewhere i cant be bothered, just to get my self together. I'm 15, but I'm not sure i can check into a facility my own or whatever.i just dont know what to do.

Answer 1

Um ghosts and spirits are real, but otherwise idk go to a doctor. (i only believe in the occult because of bad experiences that lead me to believe they were real lol)

Answer 2

You can't check yourself in until you're 18. If you really feel like you need to be in a place like that then talk to your parents about it.

Answer 3

Im not shure you can put yourself into a phyciataric unit I think nowadays you have to be Sectioned and the way to do that is to be  caught by someone "Acting Strange"  

Answer 4

If this is a serious question which im not sure about then GO to see your doctor.

Answer 5

Is there a psychiatric ward in the hospital near you? Some hospitals call it a "behavioral ward". I would strongly suggest going to the hospital to the ER, and telling them what you're experiencing. You can definitely check yourself into a hospital for observation and counselling.

I've spent time in the past at hospitals for psychiatric reasons. Sometimes nurses and doctors in the ER can be rude to people experiencing psychological problems, don't take it personally, they have difficult jobs, but sometimes they forget too that just because they can't see the source of a person's pain, doesn't mean it isn't there.

Good luck, I hope you get the help you need.
