i wasn't that into it. like others have said it changes all the time. i feel like i am prepared for the next time and then it kicks my *** again with some new kind of hell ****.
so yeah
a related question/issue i have is that i really need a middle option in between going to the hospital and having to do my whole life jobs and everything with no real break or support. i know that IP should be saved for when someone is in danger but i often feel like maybe i should go because i just can't function anymore. i don't know really what that answer is.
it seems weird to get a nanny so you can lie in bed all day and i don't want to out myself to family...
i don't know.

It might depend a lot, too, on whether or not someone has reliable, supportive people in their life. I know some of us, including myself, don't really have that. My mother is a situational parent, and has been since the day I was born, meaning that whether or not she acts like a parent is entirely dependent on her mood and whether or not she feels like it. She has allowed me to go running off into society completely psychotic multiple times, because she was in a snit over something I said while I was completely losing my mind and extremely emotional. The way she thinks is that if I have a psychotic episode that includes being paranoid of her, then she'll be damned if she's going to help me and I might as well go die in a fire. So even trying to decide whether or not to include her in an emergency plan is a major dilemma in itself.
