Man here u have to be suicidal or homicidal to go to the hospital and the hospital sucks. I went once in a really bad mixed state and was afraid I was gonna od on my meds bc I couldn't keep track of them. They just gave me zyprexa and sent me on my way...it took weeks to get out of that mixed state. Maybe it's bc my insurance sucks... |
I hear ya on the no hospital thing, I think the only way I will ever enter the er is if I'm unconscious and someone takes me. Its a REAL phobia of mine. Like you, I rely on the skills I've learned through years of therapy. My only issue is that when I've been up for over 30 hours my thinking is so muddy that I have a hard time remembering what to do, thanks to pc, I've remembered some old strategies, been writing things to help me focus on the rainbow at the end and surviving my own withdrawal!
