i know the answer is to lie but I can't

How do you get IP without being a threat to yourself or others? What's a crisis?

How are you feeling? Do you feel suicidal? Ideation? Usually they'll ask you if you have Plan to hurt yrself. What's going on? If you could give us more info we could help you. It's usually when you see no way out of the darkness.

RI'm completely scattered, overwhelmed, petrified (for no reason), confused just I don't know. I could hurt myself, no plans to or anything. I'm losing it. My husband sees me as frail but currently okay but I don't know. It doesn't help that I'm having mild tackle haluainations.

Took PRN. I'm going to look lovely drugged applying for assistance again.

If yr that bad off I would go to the er unless you can make an emergency appt to see yr pdoc tomorrow or later this week? If yr having hallucinations.that's not good either. I went to the er last month and said I took some pills even tho I threw them up they still admitted me. If you have suicidal thoughts I would go hunny.

I currently don't have a pdoc. I dont think I'm suicidalz. I'm never suicidal. Night. Ty

Things must be bad if YOU'RE thinking about going inpatient. Please get yourself to the ER and let them figure out if you need to be admitted. (((HUGS)))

Let a professional talk to you and allow them to make a decision.

Please consider ER.

I fell asleep because of a PRN. I made it so far. Honestly I can't hold a conversation currenttly. I'm kinda stuck in my head.

I mean I know I could say to my husband "Things have been worse but I may need IP". but a crisis unit? "Umm... hi, I'm bp1 not currently a threat to myself or others but yeah I think here may be best for me." "Why??...... I don't know but I promise at times I can be scary. This particular time????.... nope, just trust me it's best." Yeah I don't think they'll take me.

What exactly is a crisis?

I found a "walk in" place but I don't have insurance. I think it's best to do a walk in as I am to mellow and confused to hold a conversation. I'm going to prop myself up on the AP until I get into our apartment. If they do keep me than I certainly don't need my in-laws to know. Then again, maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing. I don't think I can wait until nov 18th for a psych eval. I just really would like the eval team to have my former records.

ETA: just got a place willing to do intake on the 9th

Take care of self. Nothing else matters.

Ditto from me

What if I go to intake and they keep me based on history? what if they keep me and I wont get to say good bye to my son? I don't want him to see me there. What if they keep me for months? I want to cancel I know my husband wont let me. Four hours is way to long their going to keep. How do I get out of this? I don't want to send my records to them. How long can places keep you?

Are you doing any better, MM? I think if you're having severe symptoms, you should get help. Can you see your primary care doc to get something to help you until your appt? I don't know if you should go inpatient; I'm in the same boat myself (honestly, almost the same exact symptoms with only suicidal thoughts and no plans, except I'm not mellow but agitated).

When I go IP, I usually am crying hysterically and can't calm down. I'm not usually suicidal. I try to have my insurance call around for a bed and not go to the ER. I would just give your son a calm hug before you go anywhere. He'll be fine, especially if you're not too excited in a negative sense. I don't think they'll really keep you that long. Certainly not months. Good luck to you.

Are you doing any better, MM? I have no idea. I don't think so. I didn't take my prn last night but I did sleep like 2 hours so I should be good. if you're having severe symptoms how do I know if things are severe? My husband doesn't see anything wrong and is very confused why I'm taking my prn. I don't have insurance my husbands already complaining that we have to pay a $10 copay and doesn't want my son to get his school physical until we get insurance meaning I have no idea when he'll start but everything is due tomorrow but that wont happen.

MM

I have known you for a couple years on here , right? You are about as scattered as I have ever see you before.

Go to the ER and let them sort all this out, because I don't think your thinking clearly enough to do so.

If anyone decides that you need IP care its not like they are going to rip you away like a convict... How long would you stay ? depends on them getting you stable and the average is 5-7 days.. You wont be stuck in there for months , trust me that just wont happen at all.

At discharge you will have an appointment with in 2 weeks to see a Pdoc and T .. Soon as you go IP they are going to get your medical coverage taken care of immediatly.

Your not taking your not taking your prn and only getting 2 hours of sleep is just courting disaster.

Stay safe somehow

Yes, at least 2 years. I am not a threat to myself. Do I just walk in and ask for a psych eval.? I'm going to have my husband read some of my posts and talk to him.

I personally think you flirt with suicide a bit , Let me explain .. Your always fiddling with your meds and not taking them consistantly. So your not sleeping the long and you go with out quality consistant sleep your going to keep flying down the road to a possible explosion. Your not taking care of yourself on many levels and your not able to handle all the roadblocks your hitting .

Why not get help? IP isnt terrible it helps you get out patient services sooner. Im sure the IP social worker is going to help you get Miguel registered into school. I honestly think that you being IP and around other people that have many of the same struggles as you will help you ,, Kinda like "here" but real life

I honestly think that if you go to the ER and are completely honest no glossing things at all , you will find a lot of help that is going to help this moving in process much smoother.

You owe it to yourself to feel better and you own it to your family to get healthy.

My husband and I talked. We decided that IP is not an option because my fear of landing IP after a suicide attempt keeps me from attempting suicide. Getting rid of that fear may be counterproductive. I'm apparently more coherent then usual but he doesn't want me on the seroquil either but agrees I need an AP PRN. Especially because I feel I'm slipping.

So we're going to walk-in tomorrow morning and take the seroquil tonight. I'm going to ask for Invega, or Latuda. If they could change my AP if not I have an appointment in a week,

I hope you have made the decision to get help. You child needs you and you deserve to feel better. Don't be afraid. Many of us have been IP before. I have been IP 5 times and 2 times Crisis Unit in last two years. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be here probably. You will be able to take better care of your son and yourself if you get professional help.

We will be here when you get back. <3

I'm really sick not leaving the couch I can hardly breathe. Husband says it's a three day bug. Going back to sleep now.

So I'm really sick, like crawling to the bathroom sick. I gave my husband the list of cold meds I can take. Being s wonderful husband he is he went to the pharmacy and asked for help saying i can't take anything that would interact with my lamictal, serouel or something viibryd. He came home with a drug that can cause serotonin poisoning. Luckily i use a website listing interactions of drugs. SHE COULD HAVE KILLED ME! Luckily i checked and shortly entertained the thought of taking it anyway. I'm furious, I know I'm probably over reacting but seriously this type of thing kill people. I want to report her but I know that's over reacting isn't it? I'm so angry my husband now has to take it back to get something I can take. How do I calm down without calling them and screaming that they tried to kill me ? Yes I do understand that this reaction maybe do to current unwellness. Should I even tell her so she doesn't seriously injure someone? Or just leave it as a late night screw up?

There are drugs that list death as a side effect. But does this mean it will happen? You need to look at it as probabilities instead for probability.

But the thing is it could have . My husband asked for help from a pharmacist and got a drug that has a high likely hood of hurtimg me. If it did or not really isn't the issue.
