I am feeling very overwhelmed today.....feel like I am at the end of a rope and struggling.
I have no friends to talk to because I have alienated everyone with my illness....I want to stay home alone so they have left me alone; but now I have no one to turn to. I don't want to go to the hospital because I am scared they will make me stay there....I can't afford for that to happen; will make my situation worse as I am a caregiver to a family member. I am on meds but they make me sleep and sleep....which doesn't help; I gain weight and feel worse about myself. This is an awful night......just struggling to make it through |

I am here. I care and I will sit with you for a bit. Can't access chat on here or I would suggest that. Have you considered maybe outpatient or having your doc change your meds while at home? In the meantime this post will be read and responded to. There are a lot of caring people here. As far as being frightened about them keeping you there, I assure you, your insurance company will not let that happen.

Thank you for the replies nucking and yoda. I thought maybe if I got a good night's sleep, things would look a little better this morning and I guess I am a little more stable but I still feel so overwhelmed.
Nucking....I am in Canada, so the insurance doesn't matter. The last time I went to the hospital, I had to beg to get them to let me go home when all I wanted was a safe place to talk and to get some meds to help me through. If they think you might hurt yourself (or others) they can put you in for 48 hours without your consent. I would gladly do that except that I honestly can't stay there. Anyways....will struggle through today and see where that goes. I am glad I can at least find some support here. |

Hey there - all i can say is - you are not alone. I can totally relate. I wish my medical aid would cover for me to spend a few days in hospital, start on some new strong drugs and sleep for a good few days solid. i just don;t think i'm going to necessarily wake up and life will be a patch of roses. We need to work through these days and know there is hope and we will fell better... ((HUGS))
