Going To The Hospital

[Lostregien]

Looks like I'm going to have to try to check myself into the hospital because my PTSD and my bipolar with psychosis is just getting worse. My hallucinations and flashbacks just keep getting worse, and they don't stop. I'm out of medication and I can't even take a shower without someone being home with me. And yesterday while driving, I almost went off the road because of my inability to concentrate. I don't sleep anymore, and it anyone touches me, I almost act on it violently. I'm scared and I don't know what to do. I feel so out of control.

The hospital is a safe place, a good place to let the current set of intrusive thoughts and feelings pass, a good place to develop a plan for learning to live better with PTSD.

Take care, Lostregien. Try to be gentle with yourself.

It's good that you are taking care of yourself and trying to be safe. I'm sorry you are going through such a rough time and I hope that you are able to get in touch with a local support group there as well so that when you come out you won't be alone.

Please take good care,
Peace, be safe,
Rain

It is good that you are taking care of yourself and checking into the hospital... I have had to do the same thing on several occasions in the past and it really helped me a lot; I got individual and group therapy, plus medication management until I was in a better place and could function more normally. I hope your hospital stay is short, sweet and successful.

I hope you manage to get the support and treatment you need to get you in a better place. Best wishes to you and good on you for getting help.

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time Lostregien. It sounds as if checking into the hospital is the best thing to do right now. I've done it myself just so I would be safe and am glad I did. They can get you back on medication and as stated above, help you develop a plan to stay safe.

Wishing you the best (((HUGS)))
