Not sure how I feel about the IOP. I've been so tired from the lack of sleep, I cry all the time. I'm there to work on my fear/phobia of sleep she knows that, yet she seems to have a problem with emotions that are getting triggered from the lack of sleep.. Tonight I said I was getting triggered from the emotions of others, so what-that is part of life. I am an empath and very tired it doesn't mean I'm going to self-destruct if I have feelings. I'm not going to melt either! The counselor suggested my antipathy toward hospitals is keeping me stuck??? Not sure how hating hospitals that are more abusive than helpful is a problem that is keeping me stuck.

I think they are upset because I did not give them permission to hospitalize me if they want to. The woman who had the papers for me to sign that first night is like, but "if you break a leg we will not be able to call an ambulance" ---Really, is that what they are really concerned about? Somehow that rings hollow. They really want the ability to put people in a psych hospital, is what I believe, and don't like it that I won't give them cart-blanch. The way the law is if they believed I was a danger to my self or to someone else they could do so with or without my Hancock so their need to take control away from me puzzles me. What is it about psych treatment that is so different from any other form of treatment, outreach, group, retreat, that has them always trying to have you sign away all choice?
