You can get so much help going impatient! Sounds like you've never been admitted impatient...it's nothing to worry about although i totally respect yr feelings of anxiety. When I went inn they allowed me to have my phone which kept me connected to the people who support me. You can request to have a room to yr self so you won't have to worry about being in a room with someone else...which will ease yr needs to isolate. I would also recommend going to groups...they really help and get you out of yr own head. I've gone impatient like six times and I was relieved to be somewhere safe. It's a great way to get on the right meds and they can monitor how yr body adjusts to them. They have pretty good food and you'll be surprised at how many people you'll connect with. It's so nice to get a break from the real world stuff that holds us back. You get to see yr pdoc on a daily basis so that is so helpful too. Try not to worry too much about it. I encourage you to take some stuff that give you comfort like a favorite blanket or stuffed animal, pics of yr loved ones...without frames add you can have the glass in there. You have the option to be alone and you don't have to attend all the group's if you don't want to. They are super helpful tho. I esp liked the art therapy group. Be honest and real with yr pdoc so you get as much help while yr there. Good luck and don't worry...you'll work yr self into An anxiety attack If you obsess over what might happen. Be good to yr self and take some deep breaths to ease yr anxiety. Let us know how it goes. I wish you luck. Hugs
