I'm trying to put together a plan for myself and some of my loved ones, as far as what specifically constitutes the need to be hospitalized / taken to the hospital. My loved ones tend to be extremely indecisive in emergencies and also tend to 'freeze up' easily. Then this has always combined with my strong fear of going to the hospital. I'm worried that if I have an especially bad episode or a bad reaction when I start medication, that I will be too frightened and confused to decide to go to the hospital, and that any loved ones around me will be too nervous and 'frozen' to make a judgement call. I think maybe it could be helpful for us to have a list of basically "if this ____" then "go to the hospital". Some of these things would only be for me if they include thoughts, I guess, since nobody can read my mind. I want my loved ones to be safe and also feel empowered with a plan should anything ever get really crazy. We've had problems in the past of me having very bad episodes and them not knowing what to do and just sort of freezing up / disassociating / ignoring major red flags.

Do any of you have your own lists that you rely on or try to stick to, for when your perception has been compromised? Or family crisis plans? Does anyone have link(s) to standard lists of like, red flags that it's time to go to the hospital, that you think are good?
