I Just Spent 8 Days In The Psych Ward

[Heather]

Hi Heather,
Sorry this is so late but I really hope you are doing better. Glad someone knew what was best for you at the time and helped you. Take care.

Thanks Kimba. The support from everyone here has been so amazingly wonderful!!!! You all are so special.

Love you!! Hugs.

Heather, I had to go in for 13 days in Januar. You're right, no one likes it, but it keeps us safe when we need it most.
I dealt with auditory hallucinations for years, and at first was too afraid to tell anyone. I didn't want them to think I was crazier than I felt :(
But eventually people found out, and my psychiatrist tried many different meds. Abilify has worked wonders for me, no more voices, and out of all of the meds I have been on, this one has the least side effects and does not give me that feeling of being drugged.

Best wishes,
Stacie

I'm sorry I'm late, too, but SOOOOO glad to hear you're okay! I also have (had?) auditory hallucinations my whole life but no one took them seriously until my most recent pdoc. I find mine 'break through' the meds when my stress and tension is high. And I second the sentiment about Abilify. I think it totally rocks but my insurance doesn't cover it. My hunny is on it, but too high a dose makes him manic.

Anyways! I'm glad to hear you're doing a little better! There are always big hugs just waiting for you around this place!

I am very glad that you were able to go to the gynecologist and open up enough about your symptoms. I also believe your T did the right thing to protect both of you. It sounds like everyone had your best interest mind. I am very glad that you considered it at least semi-helpful and are now feeling better. I am definitely not a fan of the hospital, ok absolutely on the contrary, it is probably the place that scares me the most. However, sometimes it is necessary due to the unpredictable nature of PTSD. From my perspective your asking for help was a very strong thing to do.

Maybe I should go back into the hospital.... I can't dea with all this shit. It's just too much.:cry:

I am sorry you are having such a hard time at the moment. I'm not really sure anything I say would help. I want you to know I am thinking of you. If you think that is what you need to stay safe that is what maters please keep yourself safe.

((((hugs))))

Sorry I'm late responding Heather. I am sorry too for what you have been through and don't know what else to say other than I am glad you agreed to help.

I went looking for your thread to reply (been studying like mad last few days) and I couldn't find it as you've changed your avatar so I couldn't easily pick it from the picture I had become accustomed to.

Thinking of you.... take care

((Hugs)) Nicolette

Thanks Nighthawk and Nicolette ((((hugs))) back.

I probably should go back inpatient. My behavior is becoming more and more reckless. More and more erratic.
