I don't feel wacked out or am I scaring myself. My pdoc, my daughter and my husband have all asked me to go. I am afraid of being locked in. I asked him to get rid of this stupid dog which is not even ours but he says he will not make his 31 year old son clean up after it or get rid of it..I told him he had 2 days to get rid of it or I'm gone. I can't take the stress or the blame for complaining anymore. I'll be honest I am packing my things and going to a shelter and I keep thinking I ain't the only one who won't be here tomorrow. He threw me away for his son's dog won't it be a crying shame when I'm gone and she's fucking dead. Now am I in need of hospitalization or have I just had enough bullshit. Please help me, please

This sounds like a difficult situation here. I guess I don't understand all that is going on, but it seems like there's a reason all these people suggested that you go to the hospital. They might not lock you in, but you'll never know if you don't head there. I just hope you are safe.

I think you're under a terrific strain in your living situation. I don't think going to hospital will help the situation. Maybe going to a shelter and getting away from all the home drama would be best and leave you in control. Hang in there.

I say both!!! Are you saying that you're planning on leaving home and you're going to kill the dog before you do it? That sounds pretty unbalanced to me. If that's what you mean, I think that you should head to the hospital.
What reason do the Pdoc, your daughter and your husband give for wanting you to go? If all three of them think you should go, then maybe you do need to.
I'm sorry that you're afraid of being locked in. Maybe it won't be so bad and will lead to you being happier!
Good luck!!! I hope things work out for you and you don't have to move out of your home! (((((Hugs)))))

Most hospitals wont keep you if you dont want to be there.

My pdoc probably had the best reason. I had a severe episode in hr office. My daughter just thinks I am too stressed out and I need to not be here for a while. My hubbie thinks I am unreasonable and am making a big deal over nothing, therefore I am crazy. I am fed up with the bullcrap and the lies. I need to be anywhere but here.

I dont know to me it sounds like you are just sticking up for your self. I wouldn't be able to tolerate that either. You have your dignity after all. You clearly stated that it was you or the dog, it's a shame your husband would pick a dog over you, but honestly if you can't handle a dog then by all means it should be gotten rid of. It's not fair to you or the dog. Owners need to be responsible for their animals and if they can't then it's time to say good bye to it.

I realize I'm sick too but I'd be likely to do exactly the same thing.
