It seems like most people here have been in the hospital at least once. I know my Bipolar is getting worse and I have a fear of ending up in the hospital.
There have always been 'incidents' but the most recent one, the words 'paranoid' and 'delusional' are too close for comfort and it has scared the heck out of me.
I don't hear voices. The only hallucinations are waking dreams where at night I don't realize I'm still asleep when I'm walking and talking to people. I've been through several psychs and am told bipolar or schizo affective or BPD. They've been telling me I'm sick but I wouldn't really believe it. I figured Bipolar no biggie, except that that's turning out to be an understatement.
I should also say that my dad had a stroke and the risperdol caused strokelike symptoms so I'm
not willing to take anything but fish oil, DBT and therapy if I could actually get some.
So have you been hospitalized?
Do you mind describing the incident which caused you to end up there?
Thank you!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

I have SUCH huge people issues that the idea of that much interaction feels equal to that final push if you know what I mean.
This last incident has messed with my head so much I feel disoriented and sort of like I don't know what's real so the outpatient idea might work for me so Milesback I *really* appreciate that information.

Well my stay opened my case back up and a proper dx was made and now I have coverage and I am so thankful. Hospital stays can be good if you make the most out of them and tell them what you need to continue on your own so if they can make it happen they can sure try to
