Scared

I just called my doc. and told her what was going on with me and she is now calling my pastor to talk to him. She perscribed tow sleeping pills, one is ambian and the other one I will take every night. I am scared because I don't like anyone knowing my business and now my pastor is going to want to talk to me and I don't want to. I like to appear to everyone that I have my sh*t together. I put up a front that everything is okay. My biggest fear is that they will try to put me in the hospital and I have no insurance. I also don't want to leave my kids with dh. I wish that I would have just kept my mouth shut and continued on.

((((hugs))))) for me putting up those kinds of fronts in the past made me very isolated. I think that opening up to your dr was a very brave thing to do. I think that doing this will be something that ends up being for the best. Please hang in there.

They don't put people in hospitals unless they are an immediate danger to themselves or to someone else. It doesn't sound like you are a danger to someone else. If you are a danger to yourself, keep in mind that if you do hurt yourself your dh will be the one in charge of the kids anyway.

I agree with the the previous poster. I think what you did was the right step and that ultimately only good things will come of it. The fact that you called your doctor indicates that you knew that SOMETHING had to be done. May things start improving for you. Hugs.
