This varies so widely from state to state, due to regulations unique to each--as well as school to school--and hospital to hospital, These are questions that should be asked of both your specific school, as well as the inpatient facility to which you'd be assigned. Many schools provide "take...

I get your point. I don't think you were telling her that "to" scare her. I think we might be getting innocently bunched up in a question of semantics Unless I miss my guess, Solara may have instead intended to write "statements WHICH scare people"...rather than "TO scare people" I don't...

@Solara Very good point. And one I was remiss in not addressing, myself, in my previous post. Just to second Solara's point--There's absolutely no reason to expect that your Dr. would stop your meds as a result of your telling him you are actively suicidal, with a plan to carry it out, and...

You're right....that means only one of two things a)They're uninterested...or b) They're uninterestING... I'd like to know to know which poem, what changes you made, and how he felt about the poem--if you don't mind, that is. Feel free to PM me. You should feel proud. You are proactively...

My heart goes out to you. It's so difficult to assess whether anyone should be hospitalized, though, often even when knowing the individual personally, much less anonymously on a forum. I think the most significant point you mentioned is that you really feel as though you should be...

I'm grateful for the ability, finally, be grateful. To the Twin Scions of Ares, and scourges of the battlefield (My twin black cats Phobos and Deimos), and their example of perfect, unconditional love, for catching toehold in the discipline necessary to again kindle restraint, and the ability to...

Pain carves caverns in the heart which we choose to either allow to stand empty, whipped with the winds of bitterness ...or which we choose to fill with love, one drop of gratitude at a time... I'm glad my heart's been "deepened", and that I've begun to commit to determining the contents of...

Recent prevailing research and newest perspectives on treatment of trauma, as a discipline, are in almost unanimous assent that trauma is, in fact stored in the body. I think what you're referring to comes under the rather large, and therefore, ambiguous to not be so helpful, term of...

Well, at least you put them in order of priority (hopefully!) :)

@NotAllWoundsRVisible Glad my post was of some use. Wish I had some words of wisdom that would make it all seem better. Can't say I do, though, really--except to say I understand, and actually think you may be correct, re it being better off for them to have some time without you, at least...

I'm grateful for magickal Badgers (of the Mika variety :) )

Thanks so much for that, francimarnie! I've borderline kidney-health, and hadn't come across that info anywhere! Kudos!

Hear Hear!...It doesn't matter how many times you fall down...as long as you get up, one more time than that.

How angry I am makes me scared :)

This from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a697048.html ("Zoloft and suicidal thoughts") "You may become suicidal, especially at the beginning of your treatment and any time that your dose is increased or decreased. You, your family, or your caregiver should call your doctor...

Thanks so much for your honesty, and a great post. I agree entirely

Been there, done that. 42 years of it, in fact, pretty much. Sometimes things get harder. That doesn't give us an excuse to stop trying...though we have every justification for feeling that way. Wish I had some uplifting words of wisdom that would turn your perspective around. I don't. Sometimes...

Great post, Bloominwinter. Thanks

Priceless.

Thanks so much, Britt.f7...for a truly inspiring post. How big a spirit it takes to not only acknowledge that one's own father was abusive...but to identify one's own symptoms, and appreciate the fact that to use them to your spouse's detriment would be dishonorable. Kudos.

Simplicity. In other words, the little things. Like this forum, and this thread...people listing all of the small things that brighten their lives...and the fact that I get to share them thereby...and that somehow...my own world gets a little brighter, as a result...like a room being lit by...

I'm grateful I'm alive. That sounds trite and simplistic...but it's the first time I've felt that way in 42 years.

I'm sorry...but I just have to say this--I know that I do not know you at all...but this just "rings the bell' for me...it just rings true as the kind of statement often made by someone who is accustomed to being victimized, to the point that it's become an unconsciously taken-for-granted...

What made me angry today, by the way...was having a party in authority on a sister site, responsible for underhandedly manipulating my previous posts,...and then covering her tracks...recently contact me with a condescending post, as though nothing had happened. Let me answer the (apparently...

Re the above dispute--wow. PTSD really screws up our ability to interpret things accurately, doesn't it? I read both your "veins of response", saw how you both had valid points...and thought it was resolved when you mutually reconciled due to a misunderstanding re notification settings. A minor...
