Hello, im not sure if this is the place to be posting on not. Im in my 20s and in college, i have suffered from severe anxiety for past few years, and take medication for it, i recently was referred to a Deans Clinic, i met a very nice lady doctor there. I anticipated just getting a change of medication perhaps, but instead she suggested i attend an anxiety course (in patient) in st Patrick's hospital in Dublin. TBH the thoughts of going to Mental hospital are freaking me out completely
. Im a long way away from Dublin, and going there to stay for a number of weeks would be a massive change. My questions are: Has anyone been there?, was it a scary experience?, are you allowed leave if you go?, Did it make you feel better or worse? can you see any family while your there or use laptop, mobile phone etc.... Im sorry for long post, any advice is appreciated. Extremely frightened at the moment about the whole thing. 0 -

Hi, I've been there before so I'll do my best to answer your questions.
I wouldn't say it was a scary experience. I coped with living there. There will likely be other young people your age from different parts of the country staying there so you won't be the only one living a long way from Dublin.
Since you're of that age, you may be put on the young adult program there which is a program for teenagers and young adults who have different issues/illnesses. There is activities every day and groups based around mental health issues. You'll find out when you get there if you'll be on that program (as well as the anxiety one) I'm just presuming here cos of your age.
My first time in hospital kept my illness in check and that was the only time I was there as an inpatient, but I was there as an outpatient a few times. I'm much less ill in certain ways than I was back then but I look at it like a gradual recovery, not an instant fix. I still have to figure some things out about my illness and how I can manage it better but some of the worst parts of it have gone which is good.
They allow visitors in any time really so that won't be problem seeing friends and family. You can use your phone there and laptops too. The nurses might have to charge these though. They didn't let anyone charge their phones themselves when I was there (wires being seen as a risk with depressed people)
It's a nice hospital. Hope things go well for you there.0 -

It's my parents that are the problem, more than anything. I'm pretty different to them. They're highly judgmental and they drive me up the wall. One comment from them makes me want to self-harm (and sometimes I do self-harm). They're essentially good people but I can't stand them most of the time. Once I move out they won't see me much. I'm glad you work in such a supportive environment, that's so great of your boss 0

After increasing my anti ds 7 days ago I have gone through sheer hell. Constant anxiety all the time. Can't look after my kids my mother has been here for me as my husband at work. I rang the gp today to tell him they haven't kicked in by now (I'm on 40mg citalopram up from 30mg been on them 5 years). I am completely mentally exhausted and down. I think it is rock bottom and may sign myself into hospital for a few days. Have never been in a psych ward before but I need to get better. Has anyone any positive encouragement as I'm at my wits end 0

Self imposed exile not so bad so far. I might be able to work some stuff out, especially with going back to my therapist..
Also, welcome back Kaching. 0 -

Is there any self help support groups in your area.
Like grow or aware, sometimes meeting up with people who are going through depression can be good.0 -
