I don't feel safe or that I can go on this way, so I am going to the psych hospital today, I haven't been since Nov 2009. I am scared of how I will feel about myself after its over....I had to tell my FB friends I would be away. I am so nervous. What are the does and don'ts? Rules? How do I get better in the least amount of time so I can come back home and not cry all the time? Please let me know soon I don't know what time I am leaving.

Just take it as it comes.

One minute at a time if necessary

All the best to you, you are doing the right thing

It's great that you're reaching out for the help that you need

I've had 2 hospitalizations and they've both helped me so much.. All stress is taken off of you (at least that's what I found) and you have all of the support and help that you need to help you get well 24/7

Great big hug of comfort for you and a blessing..x

I think that feeling nervous is a normal reaction. The whole point is to make you better and stronger.

Try not to be anxious, I just got out of hospital after 3 weeks being there, and while i was crying every day before that and feeling suicidal, everything went well. I needed the "rest" and to adjust meds.
And do try to make the most of it, and get the rest and help and support you need.
I truly hope all goes well and we hear that you are well again when you return home.
All the best!

I too think I need to be under more attentive care right now. I'm cycling rapidly and my support - my husband - is overwhelmed. It's hard to say this but I'm embarassed about checking myself in and what my family will think. (My family is my husband's family) They already know I'm on disability for mental health issues but they don't know how serious they are. Am I wrong to feel so embarassed?

Thank you everyone, I m staying for now. but I will let you all know. I have counseling this week, and will be attending any therapy class that is offered this week. I had my meds adjusted last Thursday and am going to give it a few more days unless of course I can't help it. I call my pdoc to check in after his appointments on Thurs or Fri evening. You guys are awesome!! I appreciate you taking the time to give me your opinions. Brokendowngirl and spacekat..(((((Hugs)))) and peace and healing.
