Last week I had a sui episode where I thought about it intensely. Then I got really down. Today I'm still down. I'm trying to keep it together for work. I normally don't show emotions. I don't know what to do. I contacted my pdoc and they recommend partial hospitalization but so far nothing is happening! I feel very frustrated with all medical professions no one knows anything!! I know what to do and how to help but I don't feel like doing anything! I know I'm sabotaging myself but can't get away from it. Help!

I sympathize with your frustration. Both times I've been hospitalized, when I got out, the workers who were supposed to help me transition back home mostly did nothing. And what they did do, they did wrong. I knew more about what needed to be done than they did. And in the end, I just ended up doing it all myself. It was all very frustrating.

I've given up on mental health professionals. And I feel for anyone who really has to rely on them for help. Interestingly enough, following both of my hospitalizations, the persons who were actually helpful were representatives from my health maintenance organization. When I, or my wife, contacted them things actually began to happen.

I do have a Pdoc appt on Monday but I'm not sure I can last that long. And don't want to rely on those people. Any tips for doing things that one doesn't want to?

I wish I had the answer to that. It would clear up a lot of my problems. I hope you can make it to Monday and that you and your pdoc get something worked out to give you relief. Sending big hugs.

One day closer. I forgot to take my meds this morning. And then I went to work. I work with people that have sum issues and then a few more than I have. I had to remain strong all day now. Now I don't know how I am. I can say this I'm exhausted. I almost need more time off. I just hope tomorrow goes okay.
