Post Please pray for me

My Mother wants to commit me to a mental institution forever. She says all I do is sit around and complain how my life sucks. Some of my so called friends say the same thing. I am a burden on everyone. I am so scared of being committed. Mom took me to the hospital today, but they could not admit me, because I am not suicidal nor homicidal. But I know my Mom hates me now, because I have messed up her life so badly with my complaining. She says I am extremely extremely negative and pessimistic. That sounds true to me. Please pray for me. I need help.

Cornholio,
I really don't understand. I thought that you were an adult. I don't think that an adult can be easily committed without his consent. Do you have a psychologist? Your doctor should know what is ging on. I don't understand how your "negative attitude" can generate such a response. I lived with 2 siblings who were depressed and had anxiety and OCD. I just tuned them out after awhile when I knew that they weren't thinking straight. I'm sure my parents did the same. Maybe there are more problems here that you are aware of. Maybe they have problems of their own mentally.

Can't you work with your psychologist regarding the family issues? That would show your parents that you are trying. S/he should at least have some suggestions.

I will pray for you, but there are a number of questions I have:

- Are you an adult?

- If you are an adult, have you considered on moving out of your house? Sometimes it is best for all parties involved to have some distance from one another during certain periods of one's life.

- Have you and your mom considered counseling TOGETHER? Sometimes the best healing comes when more than one family member can meet with a psychologist. Often there are problems involving a parent and child and there relationship together as well as the child's own problems.

- Have you made any attempt to work or get involved in any outside activities or hobbies?

- Have you been on any medications? If not, maybe you should consider it if you do feel depressed.

Also, as the other poster mentioned, it if very difficult for someone else to commit a person to an institution. It is only done in extreme cases normally, and sometimes, even requires a court order to do so.

I will be praying for you, as well as everyone else suffering. Life was meant to be enjoyed. One suggestion I give you is to go through exposure and response therapy. I went to a doctor who only focused on OCD and she did an exposure and response therapy and I took total control over my Obsessive-Compulsive thoughts.
