Rock bottom

Have hit rock bottom, am round my friends house and he is trying to get me help. It was this or a trip to A&E and I hate going there as all the nurses and doctors know me which is really embarrassing. I just knew I needed to get help before I did something to myself. We are waiting for the out of hours doctor to ring me and who knows what will happen from there. Usually they just prescribe benzos and run. So I doubt I will get any help. But I'm going to try.

Good luck, I know it is a pain to go to the hospital again. But that is why we all pay up the ass for medical care, and where parts of our tax dollars go to.

Just go back to them and get the help you need, better a person on DS than NO ONE!

Today, I hit bottom again. I hate that. I almost started crying in front of a whole bunch of self centered teenagers. Thank God I held it back.

It is better they know you there than not know you, heck you would have to retrain a whole new crew of doctors and nurses.

I never liked going to hospital but it saved my life more than once. There are worse places so do what you have to!

The town I live in doesn't even have a damn bed for a mental health patients. So, the pdoc can't get you signed in even if he wanted to. Be grateful that there are Drs & nurses that know and care about you. I hope you get your help tonight and don't get blown off. I'll think of you...
peace, t

When you say rock bottom, what kind of rock bottom? Depression? Mania? Drugs or Alcohol? Anxiety? Try to stay calm, and just get help, even if it means being embarrased. You are worth it! Screw them if they judge you, I am (was) a nurse. I was always pissed when the others in the ER treated patients like they were not for real. It sucks, and they are just a bunch of ignorant people.
Rock bottom sucks no matter what caused it. Take Care!
