Grounds for mental hospital?

I'm worried for myself. I'm having doubts about my reality. I don't know if it's paranoia, or the cold hard truth. I can't tell anymore. I'm starting to hear whispers in things that are not whispers. They're whispering about me. Horrible things. Every whisper and giggle is about me. Compliments and the like are just me being mocked. I'm just a joke to everyone who sees me. My friends aren't my friends. I am alone.

I was diagnosed with depression at 12, and then with a mood disorder at about 17. I've been hurting myself as long as I can remember, but cutting didn't start until I was 12. I was clean for about three months but lately I've been feeling so horrible that I had to start again. I couldn't hold myself back. It was like someone else was moving my hand. The thoughts that run through my mind the most are, "I hate myself. I want to die. I wish I could just kill myself. I'm going to kill myself. Soon I'll just fade away. They're laughing at me. I'm retarded. I am just a joke." and the like. I don't want to believe them, but I can't help it. There's proof. Or is the proof just in my head? I seriously cannot tell anymore.

I have been getting anxiety/panic attacks. I'll start to hyperventilate, cry, shake uncontrollably, cut myself, become ridiculously paranoid, confused, terrified, panicked, and will mutter "I want to go home" over and over without thinking, and during these times, I feel the only way out is to kill myself. I don't value my life. If something happens, or I make a mistake, I just think, "It's okay. I can just kill myself if it gets worse." I put myself into risky situations because I don't value myself. I believe that I cannot love myself. My mother told me selfishness is the root of all evil. To love myself would mean I was being selfish. I don't want to be evil.

I have serious attachment issues. I can't tell if I am sabotaging my relationships, or if what makes me do what I do is because of something real. If the boy I'm interested in (or dating) doesn't respond to me, I freak out. I will send more messages than necessary, and when they go unanswered, I panic. I bring it up to him, and he gets turned off and walks away. Am I being paranoid, or is he an asshole? I can't tell. I do all I can to be with him, and keep him. I think the world of him, while hating him at the same time for doing what he does to me, even if it is just me doing it to myself, but I don't want him to leave. I can't have him leave. He is always avoiding me. Or is he? Am I just paranoid?

I feel empty and disassociated and not interested so much. I hate myself. I don't to be me anymore. I don't want to be anyone else. I'm just so tired. I don't even want to be.

I waste opportunity. I don't deserve it. I waste my life away.

I'm afraid to go to a hospital though, even if I do need it, and even if it would help. I have things to do. I cannot take a break from my life. If I want to survive, even if I'm sinking, I have to try my hardest to stay afloat. I cannot break or I will sink. I need to finish school with good grades. I need to finish the study abroad I am currently on. I need to make the most of my time here. I should have waited until I was fully well again, mentally, before coming here.

Should I check myself in to the hospital when I get back?

I am already on Lamictal (200mg per day) and I have to say, it's doing me good for the panic attack things, but for everything else it does ****.

How do you know when to admit yourself?

Am I just whining? I feel like I'll be judged because I don't have any real problems. They're all in my head and I should snap out of it. I can't admit myself and speak freely to the doctors and nurses because they don't really care and they judge me because I don't actually have anything wrong with me. I'm just immature and complaining. I just need to get over it.

Update:

I've never actually attempted suicide. I've taken more ADD pills than I should have, and mixed them with alcohol, but nothing. I was about to drink bleach, but my mother came downstairs before I got to the bottle. I was going to jump into traffic if my friend hadn't held me down in the chair. He didn't know that, but it was going to happen. I've never had my life put in danger by myself... just the thoughts.

Update 2:

I feel that because my life has never actually been put in danger, I should not be hospitalized. Because I have not carried out any of the suicide attempts, I should not be there. I am not bad enough to be there. It would be stupid to go, and I would only be judged.

Update 3:

I am currently twenty years old.

Update 4:

Because I am twenty, it means I am running out of time to do the things I want in life. I need to make it happen now, which means I cannot go into a hospital and take out any more time. I don't want to lose what I need. I'm a singer, studying language in school, and I need all the time I can while young to work on my singing if I want to make it anywhere. A hospital would not be good for that. Maybe it would help me gain the confidence I need to really pursue it, but the time away would make that pointless. I am beyond the age where I can get help without destroying myself. I just need to get over it and then I'll be okay. Maybe I shouldn't have even posted this question.

Update 5:

My mood swings can be incredibly frequent. Varying day to day, even hour to hour. I never know who I will be in the morning or at night. It's completely unpredictable.

    Bless your heart! You are NOT whining, you are not pathetic, you are not complaining. You have some real, very heavy stuff tormenting you right now. You definitely need some help, in some form. I would recommend you see someone... a therapist, at the least. Is there someone you can see? At the least, they can rule stuff out for you. At the most, you'll get some help and be able to live a happier life.

    I was a cutter for a long time. I know the "allure" of it. What i learned, finally, is while i can cut myself, the problems remain. It does NOTHING to get rid of any problems... it just prolongs my having to deal with them. So, i can choose to cut and the problem is there, or NOT cut, and the problem is still there.

    I can also totally relate to how you deal in relationships. I am the same (and i'm 43!!). I get clingy, then wonder why i get pushed away.

    You say you have "to much to do" to stop and get help. I would venture that getting help would help YOU do MORE of those things you want to be doing, and do them in a productive way. You sound so tormented now i frankly don't know how you're able to accomplish anything at all. You're already really strong and you don't even know it! All this torment and you accomplish things. What if there were no torment? Think of the things you could do!!!

    Your mom was right, in a sense, about selfishness, but i think you're taking it wrong. You are in no way, NO WAY, evil. There are forms of healthy selfishness, and it seems to me this is a perfect time for that. You need to set everyone aside (for now) and do what needs to be done to take care of YOU in a healthy way. If that means checking yourself into a place voluntarily, then it just does. THERE IS NO SHAME IN WANTING TO GET HEALTHY.

    Please, please, at least consider what i'm saying. I don't even know you but i care whether you hurt yourself or not. You are here for a reason. Your life MATTERS, even if you can't see it right now. I would encourage you to get some help. You are so much stronger than you think.

    That was a lot of information but I see you making assumptions where there need not necessarily be any.

    Doubts about your reality? Usually people with psychosis can't tell the difference between reality or hallucination/psychosis. Sometimes people describe things as looking different but you seem to be aware there is a separate focus without stating what. People with paranoia tend not to question if they are paranoid or not.

    The whispering stuff sounds like auditory hallucinations. Possibly with bipolar or schizophrenia. May sometimes be with borderline.

    The fact you've had mental health problems since age 12 worries me but it's not necessarily a determination of the long term outcome. Was the mood disorder at 17 not the depression again or is there any other diagnosis given? Not sure what age you now are though. Why were you given Lamictal? When was the ADD diagnosed and what treatment did you have that you overdosed on?

    The self negativism's could be what you genuinely think about yourself, I don't know. They may be from the whisperings perhaps? Do they agree. It's good that you can see that these thoughts are yours, not from any external source. I can't comment on the proof you mention that is not listed.

    The anxiety, crying,self harming and panic attacks don't fit terribly well into the possibility of say schizophrenia but it's possible you have bipolar with mood swings. I would not expect fast mood swings though.

    Some of what you describe sounds more like BPD borderline personality disorder. Being empty or disassociated. That includes all the relationship stuff that I would not expect with bipolar or schizophrenia.

    A lot of people surprisingly keep the old fail safes of "I want to go home" or "if it all goes horribly wrong I can kill myself" an escape route if all else fails so they don't feel totally overwhelmed by a stressful situation.

    The way you speak about being treated in hospital sounds like you've been there and had that sort of treatment already? That would make more sense if you had BPD which is not always well treated.

    It does not matter if you have never attempted suicide in the past, the fact you are thinking about it is sometimes enough to be admitted to hospital. On the other hand if you are certain this is something you can keep control of for the time being until you achieve the study then go home then you know yourself far better than we do. If you have a BPD diagnosis please look into BT as treatment for that. If you have been diagnosed as bipolar you need to get your medications checked by a psychiatrist who knows you.

    Good luck

    Are you residing at house? Do your dad and mom deliver you cash whilst you want it? Does your dad and mom pay for college in your university? If the reply is sure to any of those questions, then you have got a slender risk successful, when you consider that those could be grounds for being a based. Ooo... Yea I used to be that means financially based. Like what you fill out in your Tax types. Sorry. I dont realize so much approximately being legally based.

    Yes, you need to be hospitalized. You are having suicidal ideations and have the means to carry out a suicide by cutting.
