This Friday I Am Terrified Of My Appointment

Allen,

Asking for help is hard......Now that you have, the healing begins....I'm glad that you talked to your wife, I'll even bet that she felt a huge burden lifting too.

Please take care of yourself, do what you need to do to get better, and always know that we are here if you need us....Good job for asking for the help!!!!!!!

Hi Allen,

We haven't met (yet), but I just wanted to tell you that I'm so glad you were able to open up to your wife and that you're going to get help.

We all have moments when we think it's the end and we can't go any further, but talking about it on here definitely puts a lot of things into perspective. You can usually find at least one person that's gone or going through what you are going through and that definitely makes you feel like you aren't alone. And yes, sometimes it's hard to hear the truth, but most of the time it helps to get us past a bump in the road we haven't been able to get past on our own. Let us know how it goes. :smile:

Just wanted to follow up on this.

Well I didn't make it to my apt on friday. Last sun I lost it....Wife took me to the va and I was commited for the past week...well a night in a rubber room (litterly) and the rest of the week in psych ward a slew of new meds lots of group therapy and I am home.

I feel light years from where I was which was hours from the end. I have light years to go I know but cant even completely comprehend now what I was feeling then.

Now the next part is a hard choice I may be going for an 8 week inpatient program for ptsd again threw the va. I havent completely decided yet. it's a hard choice wether to do outpatient stuff or just do the inpatient plan on checking out the facility this week and see what I'm getting mysef into.

Anyway thanks for all your help and for the moment I am glad to be home.

I'm glad to hear from you, I was concerned when you went silent. So glad that things are not as bad as they were. I hope that whichever treatment path you pursue, you get the support you need & deserve.

Hey Allen,

Sorry for your unexpected stay, but in the end, if it helped, well then I guess that's a good thing.....I hope that you can continue to get the help that you deserve....

Hang in there, you have taken the first steps on this journey......There will be many more, but many have walked them, and we all here are with you.....

Hang in there Allen, I agree ours is not an easy path to walk and there will be many tough decisions on the way. Keep faith in yourself.
