Some of you will remember just how long I wait before going into the hospital. I loathe it like many others also loathe it but it is also a major, MAJOR inconvenience as I am a stay at home mom of three kiddos with no available childcare and no money. It is detrimental to me to stay out of the hospital. However, yesterday, I was so afraid, I almost had my husband take me in.
Possible trigger:
I am so unwell. My thoughts are puzzled, unreasonable and troubling to me. Today I actually went to the movies with my family and last night out to eat with my husband, both places against my better judgement. I did okay, only feeling panicked while in the theater, but able to remain where I was. Last night, however, when we picked my kids up from my in laws, I heard noise coming from everywhere and felt detached reality and had to remove myself from the room and rush my husband because I almost began to cry (so embarrassing). Now I feel like I can't go to my nephew's first birthday party; I'm certain I can't go, but I also don't want to stay at home and cry either. I have my group on Monday evening, my pdoc appt Tues afternoon, and my new t appt on wed afternoon, maybe having these things will give me something to look forward to and keep my focus for a few days. I am struggling. Thanks for listening.

(((cash)))

I want you to feel better! Wish I could give you a real hug!

When you have those panicky moments, do you take your clonazepam? That may help.

Not that I'm advocating clonazepam usage. I just don't know what else would help (med wise).

Oh Sarah, I'm so sorry. That must be so scary and isolating. Is your pdoc back tomorrow? Because if he is I think you should call and see if he'll do anything before your appt. just to get you some relief sooner.

I know you feel a lot of responsibility but it's still ok if you need to go to the hospital. Your family will find a way to work things out, just like other families do when there is a need for hospitalization of any of a million reasons. It's ok to take care of yourself first. You know how when you fly they always tell you to put the air mask on yourself first in case of an emergency and then help children because you can't help the children if you have have passed out from lack of oxygen? It's true on the ground too.

Please keep posting if it helps.

Hadol helped "me". I really hoped things turn around. I'm not sure if coping tools help you.
