@Sapien
I get where you’re coming from. I was hospitalized unnecessarily (in my opinion) in may. I knew there was absolutely no reason to be IP because there was nothing they could do that couldn’t be done on the outside. It was absolute torture being stuck in there. I really needed to be able to exercise to get my anger and frustration out but I couldn’t because I was confined to the unit. All I could do was pace my room. When I got out I went back to my PHP/IOP program and FINALLY got the dr to listen to me and put me on a med I knew worked. The hospital dr was only willing to put me on lithium which I knew from past experiences didn’t do jack ****. I also have a problem contacting my regular psychiatrist outside of appointments, but mainly because her office staff is completely incompetent and my messages hardly ever make it to her. I hope you’re able to find a solution fast. You don’t deserve to be jerked around! __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head.

Dinner at RS’s cousin’s house wasn’t bad. Turns out everyone like the cousin but no one likes his wife and her adult children so we only stayed a couple of hours. Then we stopped at an ice cream shop where I got an ice cream cookie sandwich. A scoop of ice cream between two freshly baked chocolate chunk cookies. Delicious!!!
I don’t know what we will do tomorrow yet as it will be storming like hell. I don’t know how WiFi here will react with such storms so I may or may not be able to sign on to group. I have to try though, they WILL call you and track your down if you don’t. If they can’t reach me they’ll call RS and if we were home and they couldn’t get him either they would send the police for a “wellness check”. I’d like to keep police out of my life. I’ve not had good experiences with them during mental health crises. __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head.

My apartment complex is having a little 4th of July celebration lunch tomorrow outside. I’m gonna try to go to it if I can face my agoraphobia and actually get out my door. It’s been 4 days since I’ve even left my apartment. But I think I can do it. It will be good for me to get outside.
My sister is dropping off some McDonalds for me this weekend, I’m excited. I’m getting more into baking. So I bought my first electric hand mixer, it’s a KitchenAid one. It should be here by next Wednesday. And I also ordered 2 loaf pans so I can try making banana bread for the first time. I spent the past week or so in a kind of depression. Like my apartment is a mess, I haven’t cleaned in like 2 weeks or longer. And there’s a bunch of trash I need to take out. I’ll be spending part of tomorrow working on that. Im starting to feel better now. I’ve been practicing my ukulele. I got a book of 21 easy Christmas songs for Ukulele so I’m hoping I can learn some by December and post a video of myself playing a couple on Facebook for my friends and family to see around the holidays.

I want to be done with SzA no more meds, counting spoons, looking on the bright side of everything. My family is changing, Miguel is growing up. I lack motivation to even to take a shower. My dad's in town and didn't even have the energy to go see him. H is in a horrible mood. I'm just feel defeated.

I guess it could have been. Especially if some killer came out of the woods, when we reached the dead end. Anyway, I haven't a clue what triggered that bizarre statement from Google. Or "the powers that be". Google really shouldn't allow/do such things. I know that some people would have been far more freaked out than my husband and me. My husband thinks it was likely an "Easter egg" a computer programmer's term for a silly statement or computer-origin action triggered by some odd combo of words or typing action.
Hubby now thinks the triggering statement came from him. He recalls saying something like "How the [F expletive] do I know which way is south!" Last edited by Soupe du jour; Jul 02, 2021 at 12:57 AM.. |

Now as a 28 year old man I don’t think it will be that simple if the cops were called.

I've been pretty busy lately. I'm sorry I haven't supported others here, as I usually like. With so much to do, that's about all I can really manage. At times I feel like I freeze, if you know what I mean. Sending hugs to all, in the meantime.
I hope things will slow down later next week. On Monday and Tuesday we're hosting my husband's sister, adult nephew, long-time childhood friend, and her adult son. Actually, they won't be sleeping at our house (thank goodness), but we'll spend most of the time with them. They're staying nearby in an inn. We already ordered a huge platter of open-faced sandwiches to have upon their arrival in the afternoon. We'll eat out for the rest of the meals (restaurants are now open). I did order a nice chocolate cake to have for them. I will also be making (homemade) what is called "Bishop's Bread". That is a loaf cake made with lots of egg whites, as well as chocolate chunks, roasted chopped hazelnuts, and lemon zest. It's my mother-in-law's recipe, so it will be popular. We'll have our house and property looking very nice for their arrival, but unfortunately the weather forecast is kind of lousy, with some rain expected. Oh well! Unlike what the poor folks in places like Portland, Seattle, and British Colombia are experiencing, the temps where I am are suddenly lower than normal. Today's high is only 69 F (21 C), with the upcoming days only barely higher, until next Wednesday. The low evening temp tomorrow will be only around 53 F (12 C). How weird the world's climate is nowadays! |

I can feel my mind unraveling. I know I am unwell and unstable. I am having intense SI and feel like I’m going crazy. I don’t want to miss my daughter’s visit and I loathe inpatient but that’s where I may be headed. I’m not capable of doing anything but staring at the wall so it’s every man and woman for his and her self right now in this household. I’ll contact my sister this morning to step in. I just keep thinking if I try hard enough or think hard enough, I’ll pull out of it.
In any event, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend including a good 4th. |

The sad part is now I'm actually considering the hospital just because I've lost all hope that I'll ever get a med change outpatient and I just want one ****ing night of good sleep.
