Phsyciatric Institute...?

Question

My mom is going to go see a woman to advise her about what my she should do with me.

I have a cutting problem and an anti-social problem. My mother finds this disturbing and we get into fights A LOT. Aguments and actual fights with hitting and throwing things across the room kind of fights. And she thinks the problem is ALL ME.

I act this way because of her. She controlls my life a little too much. I can see she is the parent and 'knows whats best for me' but sometimes it's too much control and I can't make my own disicions for myself. There are many other things but this one is most recent.

I have thought MANY times EVERY DAY about killing myself or running away. I have OD'd on prescription and over the counter drugs like tylenol almost everyday for the past 2 weeks.

Should I go to an institute? I'm not sure what to do here... I need to get away from my mom though. I think this will certenly increase my behavoir.

She also puts me down whenever she can. I'm not good enough for her and I'm going to end up as a drug addict and I'm going to have a boyfriend/husband that will beat me and I won't leave him. >=[ She thinks so badly of where my life is going. And I have never used drugs (Untill now ODing BECAUSE OF HER) and I'm slightly under the age of 18 and have never had a boyfriend either. I always tell anyone who asks me out "no." I have no idea why I do this but I have always really wanted a boyfriend. I just always say no for some reason. It could be bacuse I was molested twice when I was littler. Idk. But I have a lot of issuse that need to be adressed but I'm not sure what to do.

DON'T GO! They will ruin your life.
Put you on all sorts of drugs.

Answer 2

Many cutters have been molested. Some treatment to manage how you feel about that situation will really help. If this place will give treatment it could be a great thing for you as well as time out from being with your Mom. She also should be getting some therapy because no problem happens in a vacuum. Everyone in the family is part of cause and the solution. If this place tends to drug people so they don't cause problems it may not be the place for you. What if you talk with your Mom and tell her straight up "I need some time away from you and I want some treatment" so she will back off from the institute but help you find what you need. She probably thinks you will refuse help and she is feeling out of control and doesn't know which way to turn.

We're rooting for you! Take care!

Answer 3

I know a 15 year old girl who was sent to a special school out of state to help her with this problem. The school dealt with cutting and eating disorders. She did not want to go; however this was the only way to avoid her mother's influence so that she could get the treatment she needed. It seemed to be working out well for her. Of course she thought they were too strict but I feel she was better off without her mother.

She told me once that she was working (here at home) with a good counselor that she really liked. Her mother changed her to a different cousenlor. If your mother is that controlling you may be better off somewhere else for a while.

Good luck to you, please try to get help despite your mother.

Answer 4

I would go to the institution. I have needed that twice in my life when I was your age (you're probably a teenager) and I can tell you, it was one of the best 'timeouts' I gave myself and my parents. You actually get to address these issues with your mom and also get to learn how to take care of yourself. Life is too precious. Please don't hurt yourself anymore. It's not worth it. I'd think of it as a break from the rest of the world. It sounds worse than it actually is. I'm 33 and I'm still glad I had the experience. It doesn't make everything go away but it did bring me back to my senses. Best to you.

Answer 5

If you'd like to live your whole life dependant on drugs or if you would like to get shocked weekly then go for it. I would handle the problems, the counter intentions without the drugs or shock.

Answer 6

they have certainly discovered a technique to bilk the credulous out of their money. Ahh, yet they in all risk discovered that from the churches that have been doing it for hundreds of years. guess they have not, then.
