Its a case of facing my fears to get better,I really don't want to go neither does my husband.
I hope your medication has helped you and you know we are all here to support you.
Please if the need to hurt yourself becomes too much go to the hospital asap
Take care

The hospital I use has both men and women in the same ward. I don't think I've actually ever heard of a psych ward that separates men and women. It really isn't a problem. It's not like you share a room with someone of the opposite sex. And the supervision is constant, at least in my hospital.
It's hard to make the decision to go into the hospital, but I've never regretted being in a place where I was completely safe, the burden of decision making and real world responsibilities is taken off my shoulders while I am there so I can rest both physically and mentally, I have daily interaction with my pdoc and immediate help from staff if I need support. I've always come out much more stable and safe.
