Hi there KazooRights
It is great to see you posting on the forum to find out some of the options available to you. I am sorry to hear you are in dark place at the moment. I wonder if you have anyone with you that you can talk with tonight about what you going through?
Generally, an admission to a hospital setting is facilitated by a health practitioner. I wonder if you are involved with some support at the moment that has suggested going to hospital? Or if this is something you personally have thought of as an option to get help? I just wanted to reassure you that there are many many other services and steps available to support you outside of the hospital.
If you haven't already, checking in with a GP, psychologist, school counsellor or other health professional would be a really important step. Another service that is available is called headspace. You can find out if there is one near you by going to this site. https://headspace.org.au/headspace-centres/
Contacting the Kids Help Line can really be of benefit as well as Sophie M has mentioned as they are available 24/7.
Falling behind in school sounds like a big worry for you. It can be hard to prioritise what's the most important thing to focus on but when your health is not well or stress is high, it can make everything harder. If you focus on your health and healing as a priority, then optimistically school will become more manageable.
I wonder if it would help to talk more about the 'dark place' you are referring to? The forum is a safe and supportive place if you felt writing more about your experience is helpful.
You are not alone. We are listening.
Sending you strength,
Nurse Jenn
