@muzik i have to agree with grizmom, the hospital is not a bad place, and when your there you don't have to put on the happy face, you dont have to put up the front you do on a daily basis. i know what you mean regarding the on & off meds its gets so exhausting ..... but we have to hold on especially for our kids they need us.... ive thought about taking pills to end it all in the past but then i think how messed up i will leave my children and how that will affect them so then i change my thoughts...i hope you find strength to pull yourself thru and if you need to go to the hospital it wouldn't be a bad thing

I've been in 3 different psych wards and they were all good; there is one I won't go back to because I don't like a couple of the current doctors and staff, but overall it was still not a scary place to be.
I hope that you are feeling better and if not, I do hope you will re-consider the hospital. Take care!!  |
