I woke up today feeling even worse than yesterday. Lots of suicidal thoughts and sensing the evil entity that is trying to kill me.
My wife confiscated the meds I planned to OD on, so I'm safe at least with regard to that plan. What should I do? Email doctors? Go to the ER? I was just IP less than a month ago. I really don't want to go back.

When you question your need for IP means you need to go. Glad your wife took your meds.
Stay safe !!

It is good your wife took your pills away. But what if she hadn't been there? What then?
If you are wondering if you need IP, you likely do. Don't wait on emailing the doctors. Have your wife take you to the ER. You need help.

If your wife has to take your pills so you don't OD you need inpatient. I am so sorry you are feeling so bad. Is there a place you have been before that you would prefer--maybe your psychiatrist can call ahead for you. Otherwise the ER may be the way to go. If you are that unsafe with yourself at the moment you probably should not be alone until you can get help.

I'm glad the meds were taken from you. I know you don't want to go again, but IP is important when you need it. I wouldn't wait to email your doctors.

If your pills were confiscated and you were thinking of ODing I would check myself impatient. I know it's not fun but they can help you.

Yes, I echo what everyone else has said. You are not safe right now. I would go to the ER right away. Maybe after you are stable, you can try intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization (where you spend the day doing therapy at the hospital and then go home at night). But right now, you need inpatient.

Do you have a safety plan?
What does your wife think? Can she watch you? Can you call your Pdoc? it's faster then e-mail Do you have any kids at home? Are they scared? Can you make it until tomorrow? Do you have an IOP/PHP program you can get in tomorrow? Can you afford it? All these have to be considered before going IP and evaluated min. by min. Usually if you're thinking you need IP then you need it.

i agree: if you were planning on ODing then you should go IP. Not to mention your old friend the entity is back- i think thats also a sign you need IP as he shows up when you arent doing your best.

Your mention of the entity is a red flag. If fighting that off is causing you to feel drained my suggestion is that you get in touch with your pdoc right away.

Time for IP. Do not think about it, just do it.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I haven't gone to the ER yet, but I might go tonight if I'm still feeling this way. I really appreciate the support!
