How to deal with parents? What's a psych ward like? Why do I feel better before seeing someone?

1. How to deal with parents that don't want to listen about my mental health issues or don't want to understand them. I have tried talking and they just don't listen, change the subject or get cross at me. In the past when my mum found about about me SH she got cross and said I was only doing because my friend is. 2. What's it like the first time you go to a psych ward? AKA the hospital - for suicidal thoughts/feeling unsafe and harming self/wanting to harm self more? I am scared to but I think I need to. I'm going to talk to my therapist in IOP tomorrow morning and tell her about these thoughts and feelings of needing to admit myself. I'm just scared. 3. Can you tell me if it's normal to start feeling better before you can get in to see a professional? What I mean is, sometimes you get bad so you reach out and make an appt, but before it comes, you start to feel okay and kinda dumb for making the appointment. Is this common or just me? Thank you so much!
