Home from a quick 24 trip through two emergency rooms, one regular and one psych. A lot of sleeping with the lights on in uncomfortable places. Interestingly, I am very very good at this.
I lied about the suicidal thoughts and the hospital discharged me. It was such a crappy hospital I can't imagine staying longer. Plus they had no beds. I would have had to wait ages. Did I mention their food was probably the most disgusting thing I ever tasted? So yea, that's me. Home from the 5150. Certified safe.

Did you get to speak to a pdoc about meds?

What about your meds. I know hospitals suck, but it helps to be honest with them if not it's hard to get better.

What about your meds did they change anything?

Weren't suicidal thoughts the reason you were there in the first place?

No changes to my meds. That was the purpose of the trip, mainly, and it was a huge fail.
I didn't actually lie.... more just omitted. I get sporadic suicidal thoughts and pdoc interviewed me when I simply wasn't having them. If I'm not suicidal and they ask if I am, of course I'll say no. Basically it was a huge, potentially expensive waste of time.

I'm sorry, when do you see your regular pdoc?

I don't see regular pdoc until August.
Sorry, the situation is kind of confusing. I went in hoping to have a second opinion on my meds, but in order for me to be seen by a pdoc I needed to be involuntarily evaluated. It just so happens that the pdoc I eventually saw thought my meds were fine and didn't change anything. So basically it was a huge, tiresome waste of time. I guess one good thing is that I didn't kill myself.

I understand how frustrating it is when you go to the hospital hoping to get a second opinion on your meds and they don't change anything. That's happened to me in the past.
Yes, hospital food is disgusting! I hope you feel better soon.

This hospital food was a whole other level of disgusting. It was literally inedible. And I have a pretty strong stomach.

With how expensive hospital stays are you'd think they'd be able to feed you better.

Oh, is there anyway you could get in to see your pdoc sooner than August?

I'm out of the state until August, that's why we're meeting then.
I feel very suicidal tonight. I wonder if I made a mistake by leaving...

I'm sorry to hear the hospital didn't help with your meds. Keep strong until your pdoc appointment and I hope he helps you out more. (((((Hugs)))))

You need to be honest with what is going on: suicidal ideation, for one thing. How can you expect to get any help if you aren't truthful?

I've been to the ER before of one hospital that had no beds available in their psych unit. They found another hospital that did have a bed and an ambulance transferred me there. The hospital's psych ward I went to was actually very good. Are you alone or can you have someone you can be with right now to be safe? You need to do whatever it takes to stay safe. You'll get through this but you need additional support right now.
