Not feelin well

 I’m just not feeling well. I’m very depressed and having severe anxiety problems. I really wish I could go inpatient but I know if I go to the ER they’re just going to turn me away, so I will just sit here and suffer. I am supposed to be starting a job on Monday as a school bus aide.  It is terrifying me, because I am sure that I’m just going to fail again. I had really bad suicidal thoughts last night. I just don’t think anything is ever going to be right again for me. So tired of this. I don’t know what to do or what to think. I’m not even going to consider going to the hospital. Does anybody have any other suggestions for me other than going to the hospital?

You are doing everything you can to care for yourself and it still isn’t enough. I’ve gotten to know you here and I’ve grown to care about you. The hospital will be a safe place for you to temporarily shut down, get support, have your meds tweaked. I do believe the hospital is your best option.
Other than that, I just don’t know. I do know I want you to be okay and to be safe.

Hi. If your therapist advised you to go to the hospital, then go. But, if not...yoga works well for anxiety. However, there are many different styles of yoga and people are different and do best once they explore and find the right kind. Have you tried yoga?

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
