My Hospital Stay

Breathing is good enough for now my dear @utopia Here I am at 12:30am thinking of you and can't get you out of my head. Yes, I am worried. Your my buddy, we go back - you, me and Zoe. We had fun, laughter and you were there for me, you have been there for others. And now I want to be there for you.

You have done well with your son given the circumstances my friend. You are not useless at all. You are suffering depression which is hard as it weighs down heavy and you are doing the best you can to cope, and that is enough for now. It has to be about your self care now utopia - the rest must wait....I do hope you can get into hospital very soon and that they stop mucking you around - last thing you need. Those meds need to be increased and adjusted under supervision and then with time you should gradually feel better. When you do go to hospital please don't let them discharge you this time until you feel ready. Until you feel ready to go home. We will be with you all the way. Please know you are not alone. Sending warm hugs and lots of love ❤️

To dream the im-pos-si-ble "Dreeaammmmmm!" (High pitch) 😵😱 Catching breath. Now look @utopia, you have me singing. Aren't you glad you can't hear it 🙉

I had a friend moons back that was going through a difficult time - she started singing in her sleep "climb every mountain!" Haha - scared the begeebers out of me 😳🎧

Hope you are okay and today is a bit better for you. Hugs ❤️🤗

I am so sorry you had to go through that @utopia. I've had the police drag me off to the psych ward more times than I care to mention - hence why I don't "reach out for support" anywhere other than here anymore. I'm so glad you were able to convince them to go away.

Hi @utopia - I'm sorry you went through that, it must be so intimidating. I've been "threatened" many times with a visit from the CATT or police and it gets me so stressed as I've had negative experiences in the past including having a gun pointed at me. I understand they are just doing their job but they're just not trained to deal with those situations - it wouldn't be something they are comfortable doing either, they never know what they are going to find when they turn up at a house. In your case they would just verify that you're not a threat to yourself or someone else and then leave it at that. At least the CAT team are trained in dealing with mental health. This sort of thing is why I never call any crisis lines - I just don't trust their judgement. I can see why you don't want to enter the public system considering what you went through. The public health system is a mess when it comes to medical records - there is someone with the same name as me in the same suburb and I have been sent medical information for him. Gets me worried about what's been sent to his house. Having worked in the private system I know records aren't shared and there is more privacy although I still don't trust individuals to keep their mouths shut - maybe that's just me. I hope the rest of your night is peaceful and tomorrow brings good news. Take care.
