If one doesn't feel safe and has more than an ideation that they may harm themselves in a way more than just the average ideation that people experience with depression, a hospital is a short term solution for that. That's when one calls 911 or 999 or 112 or whatever your local emergency number is. You live in a place where socialized medicine is taken care of better in some ways, if I'm not mistaken. In the states, a hospital visit should be limited because it can become expensive.

But following up with your doctor is important too -- and being in the community is important also, when one feels they are "safe" again -- remembering that there is no thing as being purely safe, but I'm talking about other things which we need not say for triggers sake. As is said, familiar faces and familiar places are most important. And the inside of a hospital is not typically familiar, but is there for a crisis.

Personally I'm claustrophobic, I'm not sure why one would want to voluntarily be in an isolation room -- that is typically reserved for violent and catatonic patients to isolate and calm down. Its typically a non-voluntary solution, as is non-voluntary holds in hospitals in the first place.

At any rate -- you know only how you feel and must decide if you are reacting to anxiety or whether you really need a hospital stay.

-- best regards
