Went to the hospital this morning for group therapy in the three days a week intensive outpatient program I'm in. I was just inpatient for three days two weeks ago because of my suicidal impulses and plans. Before they let me out I had to give my wife the key to my apartment and let her take all of my guns to be locked up in her dad's safe.
Some of you may have noticed in my other thread that I'm having a bit of a rough time at the moment. I was honest when they asked me in group how the last couple of days have gone and admitted to strong suicidal impulses (even with my guns gone) and cutting. I could have lied, and the cuts were hidden, but I'm honestly trying to get help. Toward the end of the session they pulled me out of group and put me in an office with a nurse and a social worker. They asked to see the cuts, so I showed them. They were both very nice about it, but they were strongly doubting my ability to be safe if they let me leave and wanted me to go inpatient again. Only some fast talking and a hastily scribbled safety contract that I wouldn't self harm or make suicide plans before the next session saved me from being involuntarily committed. They let me go, but now I have to live up to the contract I wrote. I'm an honest person, so my signature on that paper I wrote is binding. When I got home I put away my knife where I'd at least have to walk around the apartment and make an effort to get it. Going to a new support group tonight. Tomorrow may be tough with no support, but I'll try to make it. Wish me luck. |

Well, maybe you don't have RL support but you have psych central support.
