Hospitalized in Psych Ward and Have Covid to boot

@TunedOut, thank you soooooo much! Prayers are much needed.

divine1966 · Mar 23, 2021 at 04:32 AM

How are you @HaveHope? How are you feeling

Have Hope · Mar 23, 2021 at 09:20 AM

Well, I'm being discharged Friday, I'm going back to work on Monday, giving my notice Monday, taking a week off then I start my new job the following week.

I've negotiated a job offer with my old company while in the hospital. So I'm quitting the stressful one on Monday. How am I feeling? I don't know. The voices are around and I feel very stressed from all that I've dealt with, but happy about going back to my old job. The two guys I hated there were both fired.

Congratulations!

It's great to hear about your upcoming discharge and new job situation.

RoxanneToto · Mar 23, 2021 at 12:57 PM

I’m glad to hear you’re being discharged soon, and that’s great news about your job. It’s something to look forward to!

divine1966 · Mar 23, 2021 at 06:58 PM

That’s good news. I hope you keep feeling better. Congrats about your job

Have Hope · Mar 24, 2021 at 04:43 AM

Thanks @divine1966.

I'm certainly not fully better but I'm ready to leave the hospital.

bpforever1 · Mar 24, 2021 at 04:44 AM

I'm really happy to hear you got your old job back!! I hope things work out for you!! Hang in there!!

Have Hope · Mar 24, 2021 at 08:30 AM

Thanks @bpforever1. Much appreciated!

One more day to get through at the hospital - then 5 more days of quarantine. I was lucky to not have very severe covid symptoms.

Have Hope · Mar 27, 2021 at 06:32 AM

I am out of the hospital but I am not better. My meds were increased but that didn't make a huge difference. My covid is done and I am no longer quarantined. I could not stay in that hospital one second longer. I was completely isolated. I don't know what I am going to do.

I am supposed to return to my current job on Monday. I am quitting on Monday and am giving one week's notice. There is no need for two week's notice in this particular case. Then I will take a week in between jobs to get well.

I have multiple doctor calls next week with medical teams and professionals to help me as an outpatient. I pray I get well. I am really scared.

bpforever1 · Mar 27, 2021 at 06:42 AM

I think you have a good plan. Please hang in there!! I know how you feel about being scared. I've been there too. My best advice is not to push yourself now and take it easy. Also, do things that you enjoy. Finally, be in touch with others who support you emotionally and mentally.

divine1966 · Mar 27, 2021 at 06:54 AM

It’s good you are home. Hopefully you get good outpatient care and they sort it out.

hvert · Mar 27, 2021 at 07:41 AM

Hopefully giving notice at that job gives you an immediate sense of relief!

I am sorry mental hospital has not helped... But you are not alone with this experience. Be a little proud of yourself... You handled this whole crisis and ordeal really bravely. I hope things will turn out well for you. <3 I will also include you in my prayers.

Stay strong, you are amazing!

Have Hope · Mar 28, 2021 at 11:08 AM

@2ReveuseTroublee, thank you! And thanks for including me in your prayers!

Have Hope · Mar 29, 2021 at 03:32 PM

This was my third hospitalization. I now realize how vulnerable I am. I thought I was strong, but I am vulnerable to too much stress. Perhaps my PTSD was triggered by the bullying at work. Perhaps I got far too triggered by all the stress that occurred in that God awful job, but I quit and I am very happy about that.

But having been hospitalized again for ten days makes me feel horrible. I don't feel strong at all. I feel very weak.

My POV is that it takes a lot of strength to see our weaknesses and ask for help with them.

That you were asked back to your old job shows that you have many strengths too! I feel like my breakdown made me stronger but I am also able to work part time which gives me time for self care. When I did have full time jobs, having good a good supervisor made a huge difference when the company culture wasn't the greatest. I hope you find that the work environment has improved (I saw where you said somewhere that two employees that were bringing that company down were fired.

) I will continue to pray for your recovery--you have had many, many challenges but you can put them behind you--it just takes time.

Thank you, @TunedOut.

I greatly appreciate your kind words and your POV.

I have had many challenges lately - one after another after another. I wonder if my PTSD was triggered by the bullying I experienced in the job I just quit and if that somehow led to my hospitalization.

And yes, those two higher ups who had caused trouble for me in my last job were both fired! I cannot even believe it. My CEO and HR knew they were causing trouble for me, and now that they're gone, they've asked me to return to work for them.

I do hope that my new supervisor is far more supportive. I do believe that the work environment will be far less toxic now and far more manageable now that those two are gone.

In the job I just quit, it was far too stressful and hardly manageable. I am so happy I have left!

I thought I was far stronger than I actually am though. I feel SO vulnerable, after this last hospitalization. ARGH.

I'm really sorry you are going through this. And you just helped me so much when you started the thread about online friendships that it makes really sad for you.
