My anxiety has been all over the place and I started to have non-safe thouhgts (not suicidal thouhgts, but close) so I took a trip to psychiatric ER this evening. They offered me two options:

1. To be admitted to psychiatric ward
2. To try a new medication and stay at home with the possibility to come back if things doesn't get better plus an extra doctors apointment on monday.

I chose the second one and feel a little calmer with that arangement. Plus my husband is aware of my thouhgts and will help me if things gets worse.

Just needed to vent.

Sounds like an enlightened hospital. Glad your husband is there for you. Sorry about the hard time your going though.

What new medicine did they start you on? Glad your feeling better.

Lergigan, it's a mild med without the risk of addiction since I fear taking valium wich I already take. I don't know if it's the meds or the fact that we made a plan that makes me calmer and I don't care as long as I'm calmer.

I'm glad you reached out for help and that you got the support and resolution you needed. I'm also glad you are feeling calmer. I hope it continues to improve.

Anxiety over the roof today as well and new med did nothing so I went back to ER and met another doc. She gave me strict orders to take valium three times a day and more sleeping pills until I feel better. I absolutly hate those pills because they are addictive and makes me feel like I'm walking in cotton candy so that everything is totaly weird.
