Are Stress Centers Good Places?

[Deleted member 1258]

I've been suffering from depression for about 4 months now, and very recently it's turned suicidal. My parents want me to stop going to work and start living at a stress center for I don't know how long. Everything about it scares me.

I'm not familiar with the term 'stress center' but looking it up it appears you're talking about treatment centers for things like depression, suicidal ideation, etc.

Are you currently receiving any other kind of treatment? What is it about the treatment center(s) that scares you?

Never heard the term stress center. Googled it. That just sounds like a new word for mental rehabilitation/health clinic.

If you're depressions gotten to that point though I'd definitely recommend going to talk to a professional

I've been going to therapy. Stress centers just seem like mental institutions.

I do. The stress center is something my parents discussed with them

Do you think your therapy is working? Clearly if your thoughts are moving toward something as serious as suicide, there's something that's not being addressed. How long have you been seeing the therapist?

Understood about the 'mental institution' fear; are you thinking it's a place that's not actually helpful?

I've been seeing my therapist for about three months. My biggest fear regarding the stress center is mostly just that this was a low in my life I wanter to never reach. I don't know how much it will help my self-esteem
