For all of you who read my post about being given 2 weeks before I possibly am admited to the mental hospital.....that was MY choice, not my shrink. Honestly he wanted me to walk straight out from his office and do it. However, after much conversation with me and my husband, and much begging on my part, he agrred to "give" me 2 more weeks to see if increasing my seroquel would stop my suicidal thoughts plus hopefully lesson my depression. I am posting this because to all of you whom so graciously replied to my last post I got the impression you all felt my "shrink" was making me wait. So......just wanted to clarify that....it was my choice and he allowed it for now.

Looking back over my terrible weekend and how hurt I was I now kinda wish I would have went in. I still can at any time but for some reason I don't. Hard to type out every thing involved in my choice here,

I love this place and all of you. I feel as if I have found a family here.

midnight! No worries on the clarification. I understood it as your choice, just wanted to say to remember you don't need to wait. You know how sometimes we decide something and then just kind of feel stuck/compelled to stick to it despite changing circumstances? Like that.

(I've had a couple of recommendations from my psych recently that I made a case for deferrment on too. Now it just a matter of watching the balance between the wisdom of the recommendation and how my choice is working out in relation to the next appointment. You know how that is!)

I agree - i think the important part is to remain safe and make decisions while logic still prevails.
Thinking of you... I've been to hospital twice and it's not a bad place to be, I just don't want to waste my time.
