Glad that you are staying optimistic.
Yes, it sounds frightening, but it is all about helping you and making you feel better.

Good luck, this road to recovery is a bumpy one. But the bumps do get smaller as we progress. :praying:

Well, another set back evidently there was "no room at the Inn" so to speak. Here at the crisis center they are wanting me to just "go home". What if I am scared to go home and want my meds checked to see if that even may be part of the problem. Can I refuse to go???? This is Friday, I have a regular doc appt. on Monday and they are in touch with the crisis center, but then I go to my therapist on Wednesday and to my Psychiatrist on Friday. I do not know what to do. I think this has a lot to do with no insurance, but medicaid and disability is pending. What do I do? I am afraid to go home. Home is where I would love to be, but I do not completely trust myself not to have another "episode" and really hurt myself or family.

13,

I'm so sorry to hear about your predicament. I don't even know what to advise. I guess, try to keep an open mind, be open to alternatives that are offered, and maybe try researching some other alternatives... just temporary until you can get into the State hospital would help.

This would be a bad time to dissociate while you're waiting... stay aware enough that you can invite yourself to safe places, or accept offers to stay somewhere safe.

I'll be thinking of you. Good luck.

Dear 13 and 65,
I hope you don't have to wait too long. Do you know what in your house triggers you? :eek:Like paintings, photos, slotted spoons, etc.... Could you have someone remove them for you before you get there? I had to have a red colored lap rug removed and some pillows my mother made.

Just a few thoughts, Wishing well and that your stay in the state hospital works well for you.:wave:

Thank you, all. Today I accepted Jesus Christ into my life... Not such a bad idea. Thanks again.
