Do I belong in a mental hospital?
I’m currently 12 years old, and many times I have considered suicide. Mostly it’s because of my parents. My dad always yells at me and curses, and he makes me want to die. Whenever I try to talk to them about it, they get angry and my dad spanks me. I don’t think they take me seriously, they think I’m just playing around. I’m kind of scared that I’ll hurt myself, but I’ve already been to a psychiatrist about it when I was 10. I’ve come close to suicide, and several times since I was 8 I’ve tried to run away. Once, I was about to stab myself in the head with a large pair of scissors, but the only reason I didn’t was because it wouldn’t penetrate my skull. I’m afraid to talk to anyone about it because my dad scares me, and I’m afraid of how he’ll react. That’s not the only thing, sometimes I can’t tell whether I’m imagining something or it’s real. Sometimes, I have no idea what I’m doing or saying, and I feel nonexistent. I don’t usually make sense, and I say crazy things. Still, I’m not stupid. I’ve been in GT classes since 2nd grade, and now I’m in a GT academy. This might not have anything to do with the topic, but I’m seriously afraid of the dark, too. I have been ever since I had a dream when I was little, and it’s getting really hard to avoid. Once, my parents needed me to get something out of their bathroom, where the light were off. In my dream, the bathroom was one of the places where the Black Wolf was. It took about fifteen minutes to go into the bathroom, but when I did, I wrapped a blanket around my head and turned on the light. I suddenly dropped to the floor and started bawling and wailing. I thought I was going to die. Later, when my dad walked in, I quickly got what I needed and ran out, still crying. I jumped onto the couch where my mom was and sat crying for about 12 minutes, and I couldn’t breathe. I have to sleep with a very bright lamp, and I still prefer to sleep with the lights on. Plus, when that happened, my dad wasn’t concerned or scared, he was angry! I seriously think that if I were locked in a dark room, I would choke myself, punch in my throat, or give myself a concussion. I know this probably sounds really weird, but I actually want to go to a mental hospital. Also, many people consider me a pathological liar. I’ve told several people I was dead, that I’m insane, and that my parents were assassinated and I have four sisters who live in a country called Spazomania. I’ve even started believing those things, and for the last one, ask me anything about my sisters, they have names, ages, personalities, everything. I even like certain ones more than others! Also, at night, I spend hours talking to people who aren’t there, but they are real people I know. Am I crazy? Do I belong in a mental hospital? If so, how long do you think I’d have to stay?
I don’t believe you belong in a mental hospital. I think that life hasn’t been good to you and a wonderful person like you deserves a fair chance. if your parents are as bad as you say they are i recommend calling DYFS. Tell you what, you can email me anytime you need help, email me at ericgeiger@hotmail.com. It would be a shame if such a wonderful person like you killed themselves.

I believe you have some serious problems and could be helped by letting school authorities know your father is abusive towards you (he is, through his anger), and that you are having thoughts of self harm and want to go some where that will help you. You are very young to have such difficult problems. If the school authorities won’t help you, there must certainly be child protective agencies in your area, contact one of them. If there is truly a mental problem involved, you need to be treated and most likely could be helped by taking appropriate medication. It may help you to get away from your home situation for a while, either staying with relatives or asking the authorities to place you in a foster home for a while with people who have training in handling problems such as yours.

Looks like somebody wants attention.

You need to be in treatment–not necessarily in a hospital though. I work in a mental hospital for 23 years now, and have seen alot.
Can you talk with your mom about how scared you are of your dad?
he has anger problems and you are terrified. The black wolf you see in your nightmares represents your dad, most likely.
There is nothing wrong with keeping a light on–if it makes you feel more secure and enables you to have sleep–then turn it on. many people keep a light on throughout their whole life–so don’t concern yourself with that.
Does your dad drink? many people with alcohol problems are very angry people–and the alcohol often makes it worse.
Do you have any brothers or sisters? How do they deal with your dad’s anger?
Please stop with the lying, as it can only hurt you in the end. people will not trust you–they will not believe you, even when you are telling the truth.
I would first talk privately with your mom. tell her that you will not lie anymore and are scared and need help.
if she isn’t supportive, I’d talk to a school counselor or a teacher you trust and be honest about what is going on. Ask for advice.
You won’t be in school forever–nor having to live with your parents. You have to get through a few more years and then move out.
Start saving any money you have, and try to earn money, and save it.
In a couple years you may want to get a car, which will give you more freedom. You may want to move into a college dorm, or an apartment with a friend, etc. You’ll need money for this.
Are you seeing a psychiatrist? Are you on medication? being put in a mental hospital might be what you need–to shake up your parents to realize that you are in pain and something needs to be done. remember that in the hospital they do not have tvs or phones/computers in your room. there are strict rules. But if it is what you need, then tell your mom. You first will have to see a psychiatrist to be evaluated.
Good Luck.

You need medical help. Your statement indicates some very safe medicines could help. If you really want help and cannot get the parents to listen to you, call 911 and tell them you are suicidal. If you go you will have to stay indefinately until released. It may cause you to be placed in foster care too, depending where you live.

You clearly live in a very abusive family so I think you need to talk to local child protection agencies or charities to get help. In my opinion you really need to get away from your family, especially your father, because the abuse is likely to get even worse during your teenage years.
Be strong and do what’s right for you.

Don’t hurt yourself. Know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end — time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God’s blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can’t explain the world’s natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner’s prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus’ name, amen." I’m Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. Maybe you could find a Christian friend who could take you to church with them. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
