Today i go see my T. I am super nervous because i sent her an email over the weekend of basically journal. I had a lot of trouble this week with suicidal thoughts....

In her email back to me she mentioned inpatient care for me.

Well i will find out today at 1, which is in about 1 1/2 hours..... I am really scared to talk about all of this and the possibilty of having to do IP....

So who wants to come along for a ride?

carly, if you need to go inpatient, please try to see it as a positive thing that you are doing for YOURSELF to stay safe and get better. Remember too, that it's much better to go voluntarily than be involuntarily committed. Take care, stay safe, and remember how much we all care about you.
Thanks for this!

Can I tag along??? IP can be a good thing, please try to keep that in mind. If your T thinks that's the best place for you right now, it's only to help you.
Thanks for this!

My appt got pushed back to 3 so now its in 2 hours! The more the merrier!!

I know IP could be a good thing....but it terrifies me! Im afraid this may be the time she actually makes me, because she has been discussing it for awhile now...and after my email she probably doesnt trust me on my own!

Thank you everyone!!! So i went....I now have a needs assessment on thursday to evaluate me for IP care or IOP/Partial Hospitalization programs. She says she is very concerned and worried. The only reason she did not hospitalize me at my appt is because 1. she gave me the option of doing the needs assessment and 2. because at that moment i was not in danger of harming myself.

Overall the appt went fairly well, other then the fact that now i have this needs assessment :/ So we will see what they say, if they think IP is what i need....well then i am considering it....

Also, my T things inpatient isn't a bad idea and might do me some good.....

Now i just have to get through my ED follow up on Wednesday and my needs assessment on thursday. And i guess go from there!
