Should I go to the hospital

Not a threat to myself or anyone else, but the group said I was having breaks from reality and I don't know. I think they're in on the thing too, but sometimes I wonder. I do know I was freaking out at work yesterday whenever I heard more than two people talk at once because of the same thing that made the group say I was unwell and I do I no longer have a psychiatrist. Do I wait until I attack someone and get fired or try to kill myself? I'm not much of a planner so I probably won't say "I want to die, I should go to the hospital," or "this kid is trying to convince me to overthrow the government in a way I'll get killed in the process, this is my mind screwing with me and I should radio in someone to take over for me so I don't flip out and scar him for life, and I should go to the hospital because nothing is real and I am now a risk to others."

Go in through the ER — doesn’t matter if you’ve a current psychiatrist.

Do you know of a nearby hospital with a psych ward? That’s where you’ll want to go. When you write of the “group” can I assume that you mean that you’re in “group therapy?”

Go ahead and make the trip to the ER.

I really hope that you get help.

Yes I think you already Know you should. Feel
Better!

It's a good idea to go before things potentially get even worse.

Yes I think you should go to the hospital, feel better soon

I would go to my doctor first, but if not possible, going to the hospital

If it's affecting your daily routine and abilities, then yes..

I vote go! I hope things get better soon.

I actually have been thinking you should go based on a few post. Please go before things get worse

I agree, you should go.

I'm agreeing with everyone else. You need to take care of yourself. Keep us posted, spike.

I agree with the others that you should go. It will be better than waiting until something awful happens and you get fired or hurt yourself. Good luck and feel better

If you're not in reality you could harm yourself or someone else.

Go to the hospital and get some help.

I think you should go.

I can't get myself to go. I'm not convinced anything is going to change, and plus I've only worked a handful of shifts so far and I'm supposed to leave because other people are maliciously influencing my thoughts and I'm not strong enough to get them out of my head? Last time I did something like that I got fired and being home all the time mooching off my family was NOT good for me. Since I posted this I kept thinking about all the crap experiences I went though in the hospitals, and am I any better now? Apparently not.

I don't know how they're doing it, but it hurts when they put thoughts in my head now. They're doing it directly and there is physical pain in my head, it feels like I'm being electrocuted.

spike, several times you have referred to "not being strong enough" to combat your mental illness.

Mental illness is not about being strong. Mental illness is a physical disorder. If you had a headache, a broken leg, diabetes, cancer...would you believe that you're not strong enough to heal yourself? If so, that would be crazy thinking. Mental illness is not different than any other physical disability.

That you are convinced about people putting thoughts in your head is a symptom of the brain illness you have. It is not reality. You definitely need professional psychiatric care right now. I promise you that I am sure of my words.

Go, go, Go!!!.

GO TO THE HOSPITAL. You sound delusional. You could hurt someone or lose your job while you are in this state. You will feel so much better once they stabilize you at the hospital.

When a person asks “ should I go IP “

That’s usually when a person needs to go.

Stay safe

spike, I hope you check in today.

I'm going to try one last time to see my pdoc and go to group tomorrow. If either of them suggest hospital I'll go. They probably will. I really don't feel like I'm going to hurt anyone right now.

I'm so glad you have checked in. Keep us posted tomorrow. I hope it goes well.

I got an appointment in an hour. I didn't tell them my name until she asked. When I tell them my name they don't give me an appointment. Kinda ****ed right? I'm probably going to go down and they're going to turn me back because they know it's me now, but I'll go anyways.

Please go to the appointment and let us know how it goes. I hope you're able to get the care you need.

Yes, go to the hospital. IMO if you need to ask if you need to go IP, the answer is probably “yes”. None of us are likely to want to go IP, but when it is necessary, you need to go and get help.
