hi @oceangirl
im sorry your struggling, sometimes words can be hard to get out.
im happy to listen if you need to talk about anything.
something that helps me is to write it out in dot points and then go through each one, maybe that would help you talk it out?

Obviously I can't reach through the screen to hug you or hold your hand, but I can say it with care and love in mind.
One moment at a time;
one hour; then..
one day.
This too shall pass...

Hi @Hope4me @Doglover @outlander @BlueBay @Meowmy @MDT @Faith-and-Hope @Teej @Shaz51
I was wondering if I could ask you guys opinion on somethin please. I think I need to go into hospital but the hospital in question wants me to try therapy first- weekly or fortnightly. And I need to do this for six months- I am trying to gather my thoughts. I think I need hospital quite soon. I have a few issues that being I can't wait six months and the other I can't afford to see a therapist. The other issue, I have my Dad to think of, and that is why I need to go to hospital quite soon because he has dementia, and once his condition becomes worse I will have not be able to go into hospital. Or do you think I should just go somewhere else or talk again to the hospital mentioned but I did that last week and that was their recommendations.

Re: Checking In
@oceangirl think I agree with your counsellor. Hospital 9nly last resort. It doesn't offer much freedom. It can be quite demeaning. Take care.

👋 @oceangirl
can you start therapy soon. If you could and it doesn’t help and you still need hospital, can you go in then. Maybe that is a way to negotiate it. Just an idea. I know you have always found hospital beneficial. Maybe ongoing therapy might be help with you with the ongoing stresses with your dad having dementia.
Sorry im not much help. Just fell into a ball of tears myself and had an sos with my psych. I think mine is partly attributed to changing/new meds too.
