So I had an appointment with my pdoc today and she about put me in the hospital today. I have been feeling really suicidal and haven't been sleeping well at all. I get about 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night and then I have no motivation the next day. So she put me on Mirtazapine (which I have never heard of) tonight in the hopes of helping me sleep. If I dont sleep any better tonight Im suppose to go to the hospital tomorrow.
Im really scared of the thought of having to go to the hospital. I have been there once before after a suicide attempt but I am completely terrified of the prospect of having to go again. I dont know if Im scared of going or scared of being stopped from doing what I want to do. I need some support, thanks. |

The medication is an antidepressant, Brand Name Remeron. It's supposed to make you really tired.
If you feel like you want to hurt yourself, I really think you should go to the hospital. I want you to be safe and not to hurt yourself in any way. If you do sleep tonight and you feel better tomorrow, then you won't have to go, but if you sleep or don't sleep, either way if you feel like hurting yourself, it's the safest place to be.

I have been in the hospital twice this year ,, while its a scarey thought ,, I honestly am grateful I was there ....Both times it was helpful and it kept me from doing something terrible.
Dont be afraid .... Hopefully the medication will help you sleep and you will feel better in the morning. Please be safe and know being in the hospital is nothing to be afraid or ashamed of.. Wishing you some peace ~ |

I hope your new med helps you to sleep. But if not, then I think you should go to the hospital, hard as it may be. It's the safest place to be right now. I don't want anything to happen to you.
I was in the hospital 4 years ago, and while it was not the greatest place to be, it was the safest, and I was treated well by the nurses. Stay safe.

It's hard to make the decision to go into the hospital, but I've never regretted being in a place where I was completely safe, the burden of decision making and real world responsibilities is taken off my shoulders while I am there so I can rest both physically and mentally, I have daily interaction with my pdoc and immediate help from staff if I need support. I've always come out much more stable and safe. |

I've appreciated the break of a hospital the 2 times I went, once after a sui attempt.
Remeron did help me sleep, even though I didn't find it particularly strong. I hope it works for you. You need sleep to help you stay stable. Being in the hospital will allow the doctors to medicate you under supervision. To allow you to get sleep, and also work on a med cocktail to keep you stable. The thought of wanting to harm yourself is scary. I know that at times you may feel totally convinced about your decision, and at other times guilty that you have those thoughts. At the end of the day, you are walking a fine line of staying on control, and not. Don't let that responsibility lie with you if you are so vulnerable-go to hospital. We'll be here, and maybe you'll have the opportunity to check in here too |
