Shaymus,

You should be glad that it was your family that placed you into the hospital. I have been in your position so many times in the past that I lost count & ended up at times on more than a 72 hr hold. Mostly, it was my psychiatrist that ended up calling the paramedics. That is the worst way to go because you end up with the sherrifs (law enforcement), fire men, paramedics, & ambulance all at your door at once, with no way to escape. If you refuse to go, then the law can arrest you & take you in against your wish. Then comes the hand cuffs, etc.....really not a plesant situation.

Your sister was really thinking of your best interest no matter what it seemed at the time. I realize that anytime you have your freedom taken away, it is threatening, but the embarasment of going the other way out weighs the irritation of having a family that cares that much about you.

My Dr. got to the point where he would only give me a few meds at a time, which was also a nuisance even though I knew I brought it on myself.

I'm glad you are realizing that your sister & even your dad love you enough to care about you. Love them back because it takes a special kind of love to help you like they did, otherwise they would have just let you go.

Please think before experimenting in the future. It took me years to get there & it wasn't experimenting that I did. I have since recovered from that cycle (which is what it can become if you are not careful).

My thoughts are with you,
Debbie K
