Jennifer, I have been into hospital. I assure you that this is as a last resort, they will try and get other methods of support to you before you go to hospital. You do not want to go to hospital, trust me. Hospitals are places where nothing is private, the noise is awful and they stick needles into you constantly. Yes, the people are lovely, but in my opinion nothing helped. I went in for attempting suicide, and I have barely seen my counsellor since. It did not help me at all quite frankly, I am in a worse place now than I ever have been (I will shut up about myself now).

I understand where you are coming from, hospital is a bit of a break from everything but when you come back things are twice as difficult. You have to explain where you have been and catch up with work, you may find that friends leave you behind. I think what you really want might be someone to care about you and to look after you, hospital isn't really that place. Sectioning can be a massive stigma that can affect your long-term opportunities. Like others have said, get away to a friends for a while or just a weekend. If you need the break, find some healthier way to get it.

Please take care xx
