After three horrible, traumatic hospitalizations, I’m terrified of seeking help for my mental health. And I’m scared.

Mental health gone unchecked is no joke. I have dealt with anxiety for 20 years, depression and other issues more recently. I am lucky to have found a good rehab full of good therapists and psychologists. I have heard stories about others that fall short of stellar. Please if you feel you need help and want it this means you are both introspective and brave! Don’t give up. If you can share what sort of help you are looking for there is probably someone here that can steer you towards the care you deserve.

Hey, I hope you’re alright. I won’t say I understand because everyone is different, but I am struggling too. Just know you are not alone in that.

Thank you for being brave enough to share! Have you considered any of the online, interactive therapy options via Skype/video chat? I have had some success with that option as hospital/clinical settings trigger anxiety attacks for me. All the best sent to you...prayers and best wishes 
Hey, are you ok??
You can do it. It’s definitely important to get help I know its going to be hard at first but I tried intensive outpatient therapy or groups not sure if you have those in your area but it helped me get through my mental health issues. I was scared and worried too. I understand where you are coming from.
