I don't have any wise words, but ((((((((hugs))))))))) of strength to you and I hope everything turns out okay. Sometimes it just takes a little time for patients to get situated with all the workers' rotations and everything else.

I'm sorry, Dee! That must be Very scary for you, to not know what's going on with him.

I'm told around here that when you are admitted to the psych ward, that Nobody gets to talk to you for the first while...do you think that could be why you're getting the runaround?

breathing and concentrating on it will keep bringing you back to the present moment, instead of imagining mishaps.

If something has gone wrong he will most likely be in contact with you when he is next able. If nothing has gone wrong [extremely likely if he was waiting to get help] then when things settle at the hospital they will know more. Not hearing probably indicates others are busy looking after him I hope.

Much huggage

Maybe try calling one of his friends or a family member, they might know what's going on.

((((Big hugs))))

hi dee

yeah, sure, i'll talk to you.

if he was admitted high risk, you might not hear from him for 72-hours. if he is in a really bad place, that is the safest thing for him and the safest place to be.

all you can do is try the ward again tomorrow. he might still be waiting to be processed and evaluated by the on-duty shrink.

and i know it counts for nothing, but welcome back to bc. is it a visit or are you moving back?

Thanks all,
He has no family or friends that know where he is, it's just me.
Thank you mono, hopefully you are right. Thanks for the welcome home, I'm here visiting for 4 more weeks, been here for 2 already, & it was going awesome, till this happened, well I was told today that 2 of my, well they are my babies, my ratties died, that hit me hard, but this is more important, obviously.

I meant Mojo damn auto-correct

jeez, that is a really crappy day dee :( sorry friend (((HUGE hugs)))

I really just need someone to talk to...tell me what's going on with you all, please...

I'm not sure how it is there, but here in CO it can be a long wait in the ER especially for a psych eval, even for someone in the middle of an episode. Hang in there, if he's at the hospital it's the safest place. Keep after them, someone will know eventually.

Dee so sorry to hear of this....((((HUGS)))) to you...
It's pretty hard to be patient under these circumstances....As others have said getting into the hospital can take a long time, getting to a ward can take a long time....and by the time he gets there he may be very tired and need to sleep. It's all procedure Dee and not much of it helpful to anyone outside the hospital....You will find out and in the mean time you need to take care of you...and turn this one over...Holding you in my heart Dee that good things happen!

Dee the amount of upset you feel is a result of how much emotion you have invested, not facts you have to live with. There is no report of doom yet, just the absence of sureness and reliable information at this stage.

He was around people who are in control, organized and well resourced to help him. And the most likely possibility is that those same health professionals are doing so.

I am praying for all concerned at the moment, and hope you get some relieving good news soon.

The last time you talked to him he was at a safe place .

At my hospital they have a list of people you would only want to know you are in the cyc ward or be able to contact you . They may not have done that paper work yet and thus when you call and ask they are required to not say he is a patient .

hope you are still up Dee but if you are, I am reading your post and thinking....wow...your husband is one of the 33 percent as in the 33 percent that is willing to go to the ER. another 33 percent waiver between medication and no and the last 33 percent refuse it all together. your main focus could just be....he is getting help. that is aaaawwwweeesome! celebrate (ok not now, later)
My husband is in all kinds of straits and won't get any help.

I am up late surfing the net because I can't sleep. was applying for jobs today. was actually liking writing cover letters. I was getting good at it. I wrote one and talked about my horoscope. another talked about the architecture in my neighborhood. I used those subjects because they have been part of cover letters that got me interviews before.

well, just keep reminding yourself that the hard part just might be over.
