Off to the looney bin

IT - that's a horrible response to someone who is clearly in crisis. Being hospitalized because you are in crisis is not "living the dream" It is not a vacation, it is not likely that you will "enjoy your stay" in the hospital.

Please, next time you post, actually be supportive.

It is true that this experience is anything but enjoyable for anyone involved such as myself. Being away from the ones you care about the most in a difficult time such as this can be stressful. Going to a behavioral hospital is not a vacation and not something I would ever want to for fun. It is only a place to go in a crisis so that some kind of stability can be formed so that we have a chance to continue living.

I know this post is from a few months ago, but I'm gonna reply anyhow. I was also in the hospital around the time you posted this. It sucks. Sometimes we need to be in a safe structured environment where we are taken from our normal lives and sheltered for a time. It helps sometimes. Then usually you remember that you prefer to be on the outside. That is a good feeling. Hope you are doing better today my friend. You are definitely not alone.

She went back in the hospital very recently. She loves getting any messages of support!

We'll be here when she gets back

Just sending some love and positive vibes

((((( Shadows ))))) and (((((whiteNight ))))) how's it going now? Any word on a discharge date?

Oh yes, someone who is struggling with tormenting issues and is at their wits end to the point that they have decided to submit themselves to a crisis center so as not to act upon certain thoughts and urges and is struggling with the raging beast contained within their mind is "living the dream".

On that note, Shadows, I hope you are receiving the best care and are able to receive the help that you need for what you are struggling through. While I know that you can find some laughs while in a crisis unit, I know how difficult it is to be in them. You can do it. We are all behind you and rooting for your success. See you on the outside.

I am out!!! Will be in chat shortly!

Back to doing business in the shadows!

Thx so much for your love and support.
To IT:
Please, With all due respect, go live the dream.

Hi Shadows...thanks for your strength. Welcome back!

Welcome back Shadows.

YAY Shadows is back!!! I really hope you're feeling better sweetie; if there's anything I can do, you just let me know!

I wish there was a hospital I could go to. I feel like getting in my car and just leaving. Leaving a note for the LL to take care of the cat and just sell all my stuff. Who cares anymore after dealing with crap for months still no Pdoc and just dumped from a program that was keeping me alive because they did not want to fight w/ my insurance to keep me safe. Not feel great right now. I'm glad you had a place to go and someone to help make sure you got there. Best of luck

Hi All,

It is now September 22nd. I have been out of the hospital for 57 hours. In that time I cannot tell you how many times I have cried without knowing when the tears would stop running. I have laughed. I have supported. I have been to therapy. I have opened myself up to vastness of what lies ahead and been so terrified I slammed the door shut. I continue to have memories flood through my head like unwanted sewage on a hot day in the middle of a bad drought. I am absolutely heartwrenchingly tormented by the potential future I have. I am not sure I will ever fully be able to accept that I am worth it, or deserve it. I hope I can.

On another note, I filed a claim with my insurance about the Observational Unit and their lack of treatment after I received a bill for over $6400. They escalated it and said it was a serious issue of I can't remember what an so and so would be calling me. They gave me a case # etc. I called back once out of the hospital. The bill and case #, along with record of me being there has vanished.

To all those who responded to the post with encouragement and support. I want to thank you each individually, and hug you all. I will never forget the support that SuperwomanK was to me in that desperate, dark, desolate place. Thank you for calling whiteNight. Thank you for saving my life. May you and yours be blessed with only the greatest of gifts.

Huggles,
Shady

Hi shadows. I am right there with you. I hope you find what vanished. I hope you make it. There is only hope. your friend, me
