Hey! I (F19) am thinking about going to a psych ward. Last night i selfharmed and feel like because of that I should go there.

My doctor has already made me a refferal (don't know if that's the right word, english is not my first language) so I can basically just walk in there and go if I feel like it.

The thing Im most scared about is telling my parents. They live half a hour away. Should I call them? Should they come over for this? And most importantly, how in the hell am I supposed to tell tell that I selfharmed and want help. I dont want them to worry about me and I know they're are going to cry and I really fucking hate making them feel like that.

Should I even tell them about the selfharm and just say that my depression is getting worse so thats why I'm going? Any tips on anything related to the subject would be much appreaciated!!!!!!!

I feel like a failure. My meds were making me feel better and now I feel like I failed because of this.
