Crisis team psychiatrist came to see me today, spoke to me and then to my wife... believes it would be in my best interests and would keep me safe if I accepted an admittance to hospital so they can review my medication and get me onto a more stable front.
I went into full anxiety mode and could barely talk... was stuttering reasons why I couldn't (mainly worries about finance, losing my job and what that would trigger off with respects to bills, our house (rented) and such like). Wife thought it would be a good idea though and I conceded to the logic that they were both telling me... that the self harm and suicidal intent could put all of the above to bed too. gah... still bloody stressed though. Not sure what my access to the net will be like (I should have my phone) so yeah... may be gone for a few days+ **** Wife will be calling work, my T.... and my Mum (glad I'm not making that call) as well as cancelling appointments that won't be made. Trying to think of anything else I need to do so things are relatively smooth for when I get back.

Having just had two admittances in the last 6 weeks I know where you're at. It's scary but it's not so bad.The main thing is to get well again, hopefully the hospital can help you there Anything to keep you safe..

Hello, ToeJam. My thought is you should put aside your concerns and make your well-being the top priority. This learning experience can be the prelude to a more meaningful life.

Thanks, wife just left and sitting on my tod in the quietest spot I can find. Been told that I will be checked every 15 minutes for the next 2 days... Really missing the privacy of my home and barely been here an hour.
My anxiety is up, but sitting and doing my best to stay calm. Bag and coat were checked, felt so weird watching it done... Feels so surreal right now, not used to that kind of invasion... I get why, I understand, just thinking ****. Glad I have my phone, attachment I can fall back on.

Tell your work you are in hospital don't say what type of hospital. It's none of their business.
Relax and get the best treatment think of it as a new beginning. Goodluck bud Davy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I know it is tough but you are doing the right thing because you can stay safe until they can figure out a new plan for you. Take care try to take some deep breaths

Stay strong...it's not the worst place in the world that you can be. I know from my experience in hospital in Dec/Jan that it was not the best, but in retrospect, that 7 days probably saved my life. Best to you.

Yeah I had everything searched too. It is standard. And the 15 minute checks too. It seems invasive and it's hard but it's better than the alternative

yeah, it just feels too real when it happens, doesn't matter that the intellect understands why.....hard to deny reality when you are reminded every 15 minutes why you are there. I promise it does get better.

Hi TJ, caught you earlier but, whatever's the best for you, hey??!!
And I know you have been through such a hard time, so if this can help you stabilize things/your feelings however tough it is, in the long run it's got to be good, right?! Keep us posted, we care remember, and we're still here for you!! Best wishes Alison

Thank you for all the messages.
In a bit of a panic right now. Woke up 20 or so minutes ago and the adjustment from sleep to awake was disorientating... Realised where I was pretty quick and anxiety kicked in.. Was a jolt. I desperately want to si and I can't, at least not without some creativity and I also don't want to draw attention. Oh bloody hell, just want to get out of here.

Hello, ToeJam. You have to decide if you can have a better life. If that is what you want, focus on what needs to be done. Good luck.

Logically I recognise that... Just thinking logically is not easy right now. Been given something to help with the anxiety.
They are reducing my current medication of mirtazapine and putting me on a different antidepressant that I didn't catch the name of. I do hope things start to get better... Just finding it hard to not stress out.

I've also been on mirtazapine... I really wonder how other people experience it but maybe this isn't the right time to ask.  But .. if I were in your situation I would listen to music (either very brutal and heavy music or the opposite; ambient calm music) and try to communicate with people on pc. I guess thats what you are doing but I wanna give you the chance to pm with me all day. We can talk about completely ordinary or unordinary (?) things... In any case...I will be following the thread for now on...hugs to you... Hope you'll find peace..

Good day, ToeJam. Being in a strange place and adjusting to new meds is . . . stressful. Are they treating you well? Are they responding to your needs and concerns?
