My special place

My special place

Well yesterday certainly threw everything off track. But thanks to some very thoughtful and kind people I was able to get threw it and continue.

I cannot say a lot about what happened as I am sure you all understand but need this support in place.

Things WILL be ok, just a lot to work out.

Psych visit yesterday sorted out some of the things and more things will be happening early next week.

I am sorry if I put anyone through any despair, but unfortunately what happened yesterday morning had to be done.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Re: My special place

I can understand you not wanting to be admitted against your will @Snowie That happened to me last week and it wasn’t pleasant but the order was only for 24 hours and I was out in 3 days.

I am here for you no matter what happens.

Re: My special place

Thanks @Eve7 for being here with me.

I am sorry that happened to you last week hon.

My psych asked if I needed to go to the hospital today. I know I probably should have gone but what would they do. Just look at me, get someone to talk to me and just send me home. What is the point in that?

Re: My special place

Exactly @Snowie It’s better to have a planned admission somewhere private. I was in the ED for almost 24 hours before they got me a bed in the mh unit.

I’ll always be here for you when I can hon. You’ve done so much for me.

I was booked on a cruise next week but it’s been cancelled. I’ll get my money refunded so I don’t mind.

Re: My special place

Couldn't agree with you more @Eve7 I would much rather a planned admission.

I saw no point going to the hospital. I would have had to sit there for hours in the waiting room anyway before I saw someone.

I just really don't know what to do. I find it hard to even look an hour in front. It is just minute by minute.

Sorry to hear about your cruise hon, would have been fun. Glad you got your money back.

Re: My special place

Sleep well @Snowie I hope tomorrow brings you a glimmer of hope.

The ED is not for mh. It’s for acute physical ailments. There needs to be a better service for acute mh. I had security sitting with me for hours and they wouldn’t let me lock the bathroom door. Such a devaluing experience.

Hi @Eve7

I agree that the ED is not the right place for mental health. It is hard to be heard and understood there. I'm sorry that was the experience for you hon. It is just so wrong.

I hope today has been ok for you hon 💌
