First admission tomorrow

Hi all


About to have my first admission to a psych hospital tomorrow. Just need a safe place to try and work through some of what life has thrown at me these last 7 years in particular. So worn out, numb, distanced, everything is an effort.


Hoping to come out stronger and perhaps refreshed at the other end.


I have complex ptsd, depression and anxiety exacerbated by the trauma of our children.


Feeling nervous and relieved.

Thanks AngelaJo. I have been strong for everyone else for so long. Time for selfcare I haven't wanted the kids to feel guilty or responsible for my struggles atm, so have resisted previous suggestions for an admission.

I have a lot of turmoil and grief to sort through which I have just stuffed down to function. Part of me is scared of letting it out.

You have made a hugely brave choice, and I am confident your courage will continue to help you through the fears and struggles. :-) I don't have an in-patient option here (no insurance payment for it), but .... I am glad you do. Healing hopes to you:-)

    Lately I've been feeling scared and full of anxiety. I recently found a lump under my nipple. I hurt my back too. I'm in the process of moving. I'm run down. Everything is hard
