Look into an outpatient program. I’ve gone through several times and found it very helpful.

I thought that you wanted to go inpatient if you needed to..... Didn't you go to emerg for this??

Inpatient is 24/7 help..... Going to a doctor's office is a short appt

perhaps he is not meaning psy inpatient. perhaps he thinks if you are in hospital that you can be ;taken care of; meaning no cooking etc....and they can be right there if you are symptomatic or have a reaction to a medication.

I know you don't like the er, this doctor you don't seem to have confidence with your care, perhaps going inpatient you can get hooked up with a different dr?

Between your mother. stepfather, loss of your job and the physical/ mental pain with the changing of meds...well for me, I'd sure as heck would like someone to fuss over me, bring me my meals.... sitting at home, alone Everything is magnified...when I'm in a state of confusion and don't know what to do...I just going around the hamster wheel until I sit down and just Stop...what are my options?

Hope you'll find some options that work for you.

I tend to agree with the others that inpatient may be the right thing. However, I don’t know all of your story but is there another doctor you could go to get a second opinion before going inpatient?

I haven’t had really good experiences with inpatient but it did keep me safe when I have been suicidal. So for that reason, it was a good thing for me at the time.

Perhaps an outpatient scenario would be good as an alternative as well. I don’t have personal experience but have considered in the past. It all depends on you and how comfortable you are with your options.

I hope you can get some answers and clarity as to what is best for you right now. Hugs.

My feeling is being an inpatient has lots of benefits the major one is you get to A to point B so so much faster. You are under 24 hr care where as outpatient or just going to see or talk to your Dr the wheels are so so slow. Yes inpatient sucks but for me it was a matter of realizing that the quickest and more importantly the less I would bang my head against the wall was to take the bull by the horn and go all in which meant for me inpatient. But I was always the kid that just jumped in the water instead of dipping your toe. Both ways are just different ways no wrong way or right, You know what would work best for you. Just give yourself some compassion and be kind to yourself. Namaste, just wanted to say with every medicine it takes time but in the mean time do what would make you happy. It is hard work to be happy it is a daily choice I have to make. Some days are better than others but I’m always working for a better me.

The administrator was a big fat waste of my time. She offered no solutions. Whatever. I’m over this.

If he suggested that you go inpatient why won't you think about it TC.... It can make a massive difference...…

It sure has for me in the past.... He can arrange it...…. All other stress is taken off of you …. You just focus on finding stability with help..... xo

Because he told me to go to the ER They won’t admit me because there are no beds and “I’m not severe enough”. Even though HE is saying I should do it. It is a ridiculous game.
