Heyah sweetie,
first good luck with going inpatient
I know its seems very scary but it can be really helpful if you work with them which at times will be hard.
They are going to try and help you they will only do whats best for you.
I know when it happens quick it can seem very overwhelming because when I went ip it happned in the space of 2 weeks.
When you first go someone will probably just explain whats going to happen like the routine and where things are and meal plans
in your admission assesment they will explain to you what you should bring although the obvious things will be like dont take any sharp things, pills etc should be handed in and they will look after them and give them when needed.
Take some things to keep you occupied like books maybe an mp3 or person cd player some place will let you have a mobile and some will only let you have a phone that doesnt have a camera.
these links might help explain it a bit better
