go back on or go to the hospital?

What would you do?

 

Based on your other posts and your dislike of the hospital, why would you go there, and what do you think they would do for you?

 

Good luck though, either way.  :thumbsup:

It really depends on your situation.  If you feel that you need a hospital, then that's what you need to do.  Unfortunately we can't advise you on the best course of action for you.  If you feel 'safer' in a hospital, or they can provide you a service that will help you, then do it.  You need to do whats best for you.  Praying for ya.

Hello, I will try to help you! First, if you think you are losing your head, try taking notes. Yeah it sound weird, but it helps. You can create a simple file on your PC and note what you need to do and at what time. Then you won't get lost on important things. I do this myself sometimes. Second, you need to start doing something you like to do, even if you barelly can do it. Try to do. Then do some more, until you get used to it. I myself play computer games, even with my messed brain and vision lol. And take care of your health, try to eat healthy foods, but I actually am a little lost here too. And remember, right now you are not fine, try to remember that, but don't let that scare you. I think the hospital would make things even worse, unless the place is good enough...hard to say. I hope I helped in someway. Don't give up!

Can you start a part time job or an easy job? I know if I didn't start working a couple of months ago to pass the time I would have been screwed.

The hospital would be scarier for me. How are you doing now? Do you think the girl that is on the fence about you or where you are is doing you more harm than good ? I just had to end a relationship. It was long distance and he ended up being a major danger to my sanity because he was emotionally unavailable due to gambling addiction- not that your story is mine, it's just that I really am not ok having anyone in my life that isn't meeting me halfway and 100% on my side and is definitely not going to sink my life raft... As painful and traumatic as it was to end it last week with him.

 

If you can, I really think putting relationships aside that could throw you into a worse position is a good idea... No matter how scary and painful it is to create those boundaries.

Hi,

 

I'm sorry you're going through this.  Feeling that you're "going crazy" is a very common symptom, but that doesn't mean it's actually happening.  I had that fear during acute withdrawal, and that's when I learned I had to distract myself relentlessly - once I started doing that, the dire intrusive thoughts started to fade away.  As far as going to the hospital, I'm afraid all they'll do is give you drugs and send you home.  Drugs are the solution to everything, it seems, in the medical community.

 

Do you have a friend or relative you can stay with?  Can you do simple things like short walks or simple errands?  Hanging out with pets? Gardeniing? Anything like this would help.  Nothing demanding or strenuous. My favorite distractions were watching old movies on TV (TCM),  computer games, arts & crafts, and decluttering.  Use whatever works for you.

And ok I jist apologized for a fight I had with my dad and it went way off isually when I apologize he starts getting into it but this time he said I was just ventilating. Why are people so damn shady and flip flop. I just rememberd I had my bags packed in my truck and they saw them there and asked me about them. I feel like thats why his attitude is different now

Can you call your pdoc and talk it through.  I've usually felt better when I did this.  In the worst of my depression there were times when I was afraid to be alone.  I think on some subconscious level I thought I would harm myself.  It wasn't a traditional panic attack like you seem to be having, but it was very frightening.  My pdoc said that someone had to be with me 24/7 or I was going to the hospital (psych ward) which was a terrifying proposition.  Do you live at home?  Someone did stay with me and it calmed me down.  I was unable to do anything but sleep and watch TV.

Call your pdoc.  No one here can help you.  We can't be with you.  If you can't stand it and can't call your doctor then go to the hospital.  We aren't in your shoes.  It seems that you live with your parents and they can't help you.  I don't know what else to say that hasn't been said by the others.  Only you (or your doctor) know if you need to be hospitalized.

Can you call your therapist? Therapists have to care to some extent, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do their jobs too well. Some are better than others, but it sounds like you need to talk to someone who knows what you are going through. God bless.

Hodge,

 

It's obvious that you're suffering, and for that I'm very sorry. Truly. This is a very tough road to travel.

 

Your posts are often panic-filled and asking for suggestions on how to proceed. As an online forum, our reach is limited. The forum is designed to support each other through symptoms...not tell members what they need to do. We are not in your shoes. We do not have all the information you have about yourself.

 

It makes me sad that you call yourself a coward. You aren't. But your obviously afraid and spiralling from one catastrophic thought to another. YOU can help yourself. YOU can make changes to benefit your circumstances. YOU can find a way to accept what you're going through (and that doesn't mean you have to like it). There is no escape from this....no quick fix, no doctor, no medication, no hospital that can make it all go away. Only TIME can do that for you.

 

What types of things are you doing to help yourself? Are you able to exercise? Eat healthy? Meditate? Sitting in your room day after day and ruminating about how much you hate where you live is not helping you, IMO. Do you have any other realistic options to change your living arrangements?

 

In regards to the hospital....what do you hope will happen if you go? Sometimes it helps to write it out or say it out loud. I think your answer might suprise you.

 

I have often felt caged and desperate through this experience, so I can empathize with your turmoil. There are a lot good books you can read that can help with panic/anxiety. I'd be happy to recommend some that worked for me if your interested.

 

I hope you can find some relief soon.
