Personally, I think hospital for depression and anxiety is a bad thing unless there are any co-morbid problems like severe self harm/drug or alcohol misuse/eating disorders/other MH factors.
It takes you away from the causes of the depression and anxiety and teaches you to cope in a trigger-free environment which is not conducive to learning to cope in the real world.
Have you received any outpatient therapy or treatment? Maybe it would be good to ask your dad if he can help you contact a therapist in your area to help with dealing with the issues you're facing and to help you manage the symptoms effectively while in your usual environment.
