I have dealt with major depression and anxiety at least since I was a teenager and probably earlier (but not formally diagnosed or treated until I was in my late 30s). It's been a long road, but I can attest to the difference that good quality therapy and the right medication can make. Because of my personal experience, I'm a big fan of both.
You seem to have the right ideas - talking to your psychiatrist, possibly checking into a psych ward, working though unfinished issues from your past. That means you're already moving in the right direction, which makes me extremely hopeful for you. So many people in need of this kind of help fight against it, instead of welcoming it. That means you're already ahead of the game, and I'm really proud of you for that.
Talk to your psychiatrist and take it from there. And please know that no matter how bad things may seem at the moment, they CAN get better, probably a lot better than you can imagine right now. Your job is just to accept the care and do the work, and it sounds like you're ready to do both!
