When to go IP

Sounds like a pretty nice place--- they let you have phones!! Are there groups and such to keep you occupied?

Ooooo so nice to know you can sometimes have phones at these places. And glad you'll have yours so you don't have to leave us.

Thinking about you lots.

There are a few groups but bits mostly pretty boring

ew boring sucks. I hope you're feeling somewhat better.

I am. I'm not obsessing as much about the gun

I'm glad to hear that.

Just irritable some and I've started rocking and hate that. I'm trying to socialize and not isolAte but I want to. Not sure what going on.

I'm gonna do some coping stuff

Well that is always a good thing

Thanks for all the kind thoughts and we wishes!!!!

I'm feeling ****ing amazing and my mind is racing! I think I'm headed up! Ha!

Thinking of you. I hope you feel better soon.

Thsnks!!!!
The social worker wants me to take time puts and listen to music to calm down

Hope things get better in there. I have never been to one that allows phones or electronics!
They keep all our stuff in lockers and we have to ask for it. Your place sounds great.

Take care of yourself and get what you need to feel better.

Thanks!!!

I'm not as hyper as I was earlier. But I'm super happy and had dark thoughts again. Maybe a mixed episode?

Yoiks sounds like it's gettin messy. Hold on to your hat!

How are you feeling now?

Do you think some med they gave you and sending you into mania/mixed?

I haven't seen dr yet. I see her today. I've just been taking my regular meds since I got here.

I had a terrible in patient expirience. So the only time I would go IP is under a legal order.

Trust me.... under a legal order is worse...

I am just shocked that HallieBeth can have electronics. At all the places I have been IP at, I had to turn everything over to the nurses.. Even hairspray I had to turn over.
If you wanted something like hairspray, you had to ask the nurse to get it and they would give you a time limit to bring it back.

But heck... I did get socks with those rubber treads on the bottom....

Not to try and deviate from the original topic, but how would being required to go under a TDO change the overall expirience? Just out if curiosity.

I also agree that it's cool you have access to your cell phone. I was required to lock everything away and was given no access.

It's a crisis stabilization unit. Not a hospital. A lot less strict. We can talk walks one to the store after three days too.

They even give out a razor to use if they think you're safe but u have to bring it bk

Here it's called an MIW which I have gotten and it doesn't change things much except you have to deal with a**hole police officers who have no experience dealing with someone with mental illness and are ignorant about it and treat you like a criminal, being brought in involuntarily also could cause you to stay longer, it's just generally better to cooperate when someone wants to hospitalize you.

Glad you're doing well Hallie. Keep updating

Sorry for the late entry......glad you are in the stabilization unit, Hallie. Hope things are going well and improving! Hugs!

Thanks. She said all my ups and downs here mean it's a mixed episode. She upped my zyprexa
