This enraged me and sent me into such a spin which led me to be almost locked up again. Am I being too sensitive? My pdoc said my reaction was way out of character and proportion which is why he was so worried about me. It is 8.50pm and I am drinking coffee because I don't want to sleep. I don't know why. I am scared. If anything more aggravates me I will lose control and be locked up. What am I doing? I am so agitated, frightened and suicidal. Maybe I need to be locked up. Maybe I am not safe. Yet, I feel that being locked up will be the end of me due to the traumatic circumstance.

I would count my blessings. The best hospital here does not provide cookies, coffee, Internet you can barely use the phone . If family brings in things for you you're lucky not to have them disappear.
I have followed your posts for yrs and your cycle is get stable, go off meds. Drink and use alcohol, then end up hospitalized again. I think it's time you break that cycle. Stay off the drugs and booze. If you cant, get help. You are in a very a very good hospital. Here the nurses could jack ****. You're not guaranteed to see your pdoc ev er ryday and certainly not at night!?
I know I'm sounding harsh, but I think you need to hear it.
