what “feeling better” can look like after using a coping technique:
beng able to get up and walk around safely
thinking/talking more clearly and lessening of brain fog
a willingness to re-engage with a situation/emotion (even with some reluctance)
ability to do a task you did not want to/could not do before
being able to plan and problem solve (even if you still don’t know what to do)
improved concentration/focus
more understanding of a situation
calmer and slower thoughts (rather than scattered thoughts/rumination)
slower heartbeat and breathing
faster heartbeat, if doing exercise, and momentum that gives you a chance to do a task before you sit down again
being able to sleep easier
an ability to look at the big picture and not get lost in the details
feeling that you can “manage”
ability to control outbursts/destructive behaviour or pause before acting
managing to stop crying
I think people tend to assume their mood is what will improve after trying coping techniques, however, your mood is not the full extent of your mental health, and it doesn’t totally define whether or not a technique has helped you. When disorders cause symptoms like chronic emptiness and low mood, it’s worthwhile to pay attention to your body and your abilities to look for signs of improvement, which can then have an affect on your mood in the long term.

I want every mental health professional that has treated me through out my life to get into a roman amphitheatre with a weapon of their choosing and the winner will decide what disorders I have

i have to say this while i remember. but the whole "You have to reach out whenever you feel depressed" thing.
yesterday after 3 hours of sleep i woke up like i had been hit by a rock in my head. laying in a hotel room next to my 2 best friends. Who i know for a fact. love and care about me so much. But i instead laid there having a breakdown for 4 hours until they woke up. (where i said nothing to them)
i was so convinced that i had nobody at all to talk to that i Just didn't. i ran lists in my brain and i all waved it away "it's too early. i can't be quiet enough." i panicked and deleted instagram even.
and one of my friends. Spent A long time texting me. Repeatedly. Like a full day. until i responded.
So talk to people. talk to your friends. Just send random messages about you're day if you've no ideas. because that person Probably Just won't when they need to. even if logically they know to.

are you ever in the state where you simply can't see yourself in the future? like, you can't see yourself having a job that you like? you can't see yourself living on your own, or even living with friends and/or romantic partners instead of your abusive and emotionally neglectful family? you can't seem to enjoy where you are right now, but after so many tries, you're unsure if anything is ever going to work out? is anything ever going to be enough?
i know i'm an adult, i know i should live my life, but it's really hard for me to do that when i don't have hope for anything.

Just a note about psychiatric hospital stays.
I think people who haven’t ever been before often misunderstand the purpose of a psychiatric hospital stay. I think people tend to think it is a place to go to get treatment, but it isn’t. 
Psychiatric hospital stays have one purpose--stabilization. They are not meant to provide long term treatment. They are meant for people in an acute crisis situation who cannot be safe on their own. They will keep you there only long enough to get you out of that crisis.
If you are looking for long term treatment and think you need a higher level of care than individual or group outpatient therapy, what you want to look for is Residential treatment. 
Inpatient (psych hospital) stays are usually between 3 and 14 days long at most. Residential stays are usually months long. Inpatient may or may not offer group therapy sessions. Residential will give you group therapy, process groups, individual therapy, psychiatry, and maybe more (like equine or art therapy). 
There are also other levels of care, such as partial hospitalization (PHP--think day program) and intensive outpatient (IOP--think lots of group therapy). 
Psych hospitals serve a very specific purpose and (although your milage may vary) are somewhat good at that one thing--keeping you physically safe in a time of crisis. But if you want actual treatment, you are probably not going to get it there. 
If you are in crisis and cannot keep yourself safe, by all means go to the ER! But if you are just desperate for longer term treatment that will help you get your life together and feel better long term, look into residential, PHP, or IOP. 
Good luck! Stay safe!
