I don't want to lose my children.. they are all I have and other than me telling them the edited version of my MI they have no idea anything is even wrong with me.. But I'm at that point where I need help before they no longer have a mother to come home to!
I lie to my family.. I lie to my T... I want them to think I'm doing better.. I want to show the world that I, as a single mom, can beat this.. But here I am, feeling as though I have a terminal illness and it will be the death of me.. I'm losin it and there is no one here to save me...

Could you have a family member watch them while you go in? CPS will likely try to place them with family instead of in a foster home. I know what it is like to hide it from your family. I did the same thing, wanted them to think that I was ok. When I finally told them, they were very supportive. I know that if I have to ever go back in, that someone is there to take care of my child. Sometimes we just need that extra help of the hospital, if you are in that place, ask your family. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself and your children. Feel free to PM me anytime.

My family is WONDERFUL and would help me in a heartbeat!! But my ex would also file for emergency custody... then what woud I do?
that's where I'm stuck. I don't see my pdoc until the 31st and I'm still waiting on mood stabulizers...

Call your pdoc and ask for an emergency visit ~ tell the doc what's going on, and hopefully he can help. Waiting until the 31st is just too long!
 You need to be seen sooner. I wish you the very best ~ please let us know how things come out. Hugs, Lee

Yuck! I am in a similar place. I have no support as a single mom and the county I live in does not have emergency foster care. Last time I went inpatient I had to fight to get my son back as though I had abused him in some way. Child protective went through my house (even snooped in my dresser drawers), made me have an in home parenting coach 10hrs/wk and worst of all they told me if I ever had to go to the hospital again (for physical or emotional help) they will take my son for good. It sucks!!! There really needs to be more respect and support out there for us single moms who give 110% every day to be everything our kids need us to be.
I prat that your Pdoc can get you in more quickly. If not is there any kind of day treatment program available while they are at school or that offers child care?
