these last few days it feels like im losing my grip on reality it feels like severe rapid cycling the kind that hasn't happened to me in a year or so and all the stress im under right now isn't helping matters attempting to prepare for college and support myself at the same time im beginning to wonder if checking myself into the hospital would be the best way to go maybe i can finally get back on medication if i do

Stress always gets me down. I think hospital is a good last resort, but the best help I've had is from a good pdoc and the right meds.

Hi Jesse i think the hospital is the best way to go. I checked myself in once & it was the best thing i could of every done for myself. You get on the right meds & you have therapy like everyday. Better to go now than before you totally lose it.
All the best

If you can get emitted to the hospital then yes go to the hospital it is the fastest easiest way to get help.

I went to the hospital one time and they wouldn't admit me because I was not a threat to myself or to others I eventually told them I was experiencing psychosis and thought people was reading my mind through the television and then they didn't think twice.. lol...

Medication and stability seems the more prudent course before tackling both an education and supporting yourself financially. Stress does so much more damage on the inside than what we and others see on the outside.

I hope you find your way to do what is best for you under these circumstances...nic brings up an important obstacle and perhaps a solution to overcoming it.

Best of luck to you.

I'm in total agreement with going to the hospital. If you aren't on meds, have no Pdoc to call they will get you get you the help you need. I know stress pushes me to the edge and without my meds I'd fall over it.

I agree with others. Hosp sounds like a good idea. At least you can get on meds. Your health shouldnt be put on the back burner.

Having the right medication can make a big difference with stress. If you have a pdoc, discuss medication with them... if not, then go to the hospital for a short stay to get stable... ((hugs)) polar
