I laid down and tried to sleep earlier and had a really bad time of it. The longer I lied there the worse my depression got. From my other posts in other threads you may have seen that I have been struggling lately. I finally decide well screw it let them do with me what they want and I went to the hospital. They called someone in to talk to me and after they talked to me I was told that I couldn't be admitted because the hospital was full. I asked if I could get a transfer to another facility and I was told tha they didn't feel I was bad enough to warrant that. WTF. Nobody sems to care, screw the hospital, screw community mental health, screw my county and screw Michigan. I'm tired of this.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

I'm a lean dog a keen dog a wild dog and lone.
A rough dog, a tough dog hunting on my own,
A bad dog a mad dog teasing silly sheep,
I love to sit and bay the moon and keep fat souls from sleep,
I'll never be a lap dog licking dirty feet,
A sleek dog a meek dog cringing for my meat,
Not for me the fireside the well filled plate,
But shut door and sharp stone and cuff and kick and hate,
My is still the lone way the hard way the best,
Wild wind and wide stars and the hunger of the quest,
Not mine but appropriate.
Spent 50 years trying to please others and doing the right thing putting others first. Paid bills cut grass said excuse me. I got screwed robbed betrayed and broken. So now I am true to me and the hell with everyone.
Remember that someone cares about you :D

if you really need the help go back to the hospital and tell them you want to hurt yourself, cry alot, do what it takes to get in...
sounds alot like lying don't it...
unfortunately, the system sucks.... the govt idea of "reform" is to privatize mental health and put the rest in jail
I hate cheating the system, but sometimes yo gotta do what you gotta do, I know me, when i am down I will just give up instead of doing what needs to be done
CMH sucks. I admit it. I had to change case workers because my case worker could never even get me my meds at the right time.
I like my CW now... but CMH is overburdened and underfunded.
it is bullshit that they wouldn't hospitalize you.
if you are there, saying "I need to be hospitalized," there is no reason for you to be turned away.
I wonder if that was their plan all day? Keep me waiting so long I would beg to be let go?
That was 3 months ago and I still have to wait another 4 months to see a pdoc for the first time! It's def not just Michigan.
Hope ya feel better, I'm really down today too...so you're not alone, not that it helps much when you're depressed.
Hugs, B
