I'm unable to avoid being severely depressed and withdrawn because of my mental condition triggering constant irritability from my parents, such as my mum's toxic response to whatever subject I bring up. There are too many things I will find myself hanging on to for the rest of my life, such as needing help with learning how to avoid repeating myself because of the toxic way my mum snaps at me for this issue, and future relationships will be affected in a very negative and unpleasant way 😔 😞. I won't be interested in communicating at all let alone engaging in any conversations OR bringing up any subjects at all - I will end up dumping my load of personal burdens on top of the people in my future mental health team. I am considering being sectioned for my severe depression and other severe mental health issues. Once I enter psychiatric care and start getting professional help, then I will start opening up to my mental health team about the many unpleasant life events that have triggered PTSD and other related issues.

I find myself constantly snapping at people on Facebook in the exact same way my parents (ESPECIALLY my dad) have a habit of snapping at me over every single issue - even though I'm already struggling with being autistic and not being able to meet other people's expectations! My severe depression stems from the toxicity from the people in this family, that's why I'm always afraid I will end up hurting myself AND physically assaulting someone else when I start projecting these deep-seeded personal issues onto others!! 😔 😞
What if I eventually end up becoming mentally and psychologically damaged later on in life to the point of being unable to cope with life at all?!

Well, I wonder how psychiatric sectioning works.
But my grandma was bipolar since she was a kid and she got hospitalized a few times through her life (and that was in the 60s/70s in my country, where I imagine the mental health was pretty bad or inexistent).
Though my grandfather was absolutely devoted to her, and was beside her till he died.
But then she found the right meds I guess and she lived a pretty ok life till she died in her seventies.
Don't know if this helps (of course I don't know a lot about your life), but a lot of people with mental health problems ends finding a way to deal/cope with their problems in some way.
My grandma did some bad and some good things, but she didn't have a miserable life.
Hope I didn't offend anyone here. Wish the better for you.

I want you to make your own decision, and I would also encourage you to get some information from former patients about their experiences. I was inpatient for a crisis. I found my entire experience there to be counter therapeutic.
It was more like a jail: I couldn’t leave voluntarily although I had admitted voluntarily. There was zero one on one help, and I was pretty much alone with my demons with nothing to do but feel tormented by my spiraling thoughts/anxiety.
I was even treated like I was there to be punished. It was a running joke that at least it wasn’t actual jail because you could use the bathroom and shower unobserved, unless you made the mistake of not timing your shower around room checks.
However, at $2k/night for only room and board, it’s a ridiculously low bar if you have to look at the prison system to find a place with worse conditions!
