T was very keen for me to go to hospital yesterday. I was really prepared to consider the idea.
Today I'm not feeling as bad. Looking back, the whole conversation about hospitalization sounds stupid. What's going on? She would like me to get to hospital to get out of the routine of life, have daily therapy (we only do one-on-one therapy in hospitals here from what I know). And get the ball rolling to get back on my feet. Physio and acupuncture may be a part, as well as a pdoc, but it seems pointless this morning. I'm just not going to phone her and ignore we had the conversation.

Was there any element of protecting you, making sure that you would be safe from self-harm, in her wish to send you to hospital? It doesn't sound so from your description... if you need to be kept safe, then you should go (in my opinion), but if not, it has to be your own decision. If it seems pointless then it would maybe not be very helpful (but this is coming from somebody who is very biased against psych hospitals, so take my advice only as one personal opinion from somebody who doesn't really know you
 )

Could you phone and let her know things are a bit better today but keep it as an open option? It sounds good as far as hospital things go
 really glad today is better for you

She knows I do sometimes drink too much, so she does want me to be safe. But drinking too much shouldn't be considered me endangering myself.

Do you have "partial hospitalization" there? You get benefits of daily groups and T, but you also get to live your life. Very helpful.

You've been pretty unstable in the last few weeks and your meds aren't stable because you've not been taking them consistently. You also have been relying quite a bit on self-medicating with benzos to get by. Personally from experience, you may be feeling okay at this moment, but I suspect a few hours of feeling okay isn't that same as stability. I'd suggest doing as your T suggested to find some real stability in medication and mood, for you own long-term safety.

I asked for a partial hospitalization kind if thing, and it seems it doesn't exist...
Thanks Chris - will see how I feel tomorrow AM when I am supposed to check in with her. Haven't even mentioned this to my bf yet. Only had a mild Benzo this AM. Had a lot yesterday...

Futhermore if you are drinking while taking your meds this is a sign you should take your doctors advice. I know there is a fear associated with hospitals but if you go in voluntaraly you can always sign yourself out and you never know you may find it a positive experience. Be well, h.

No, to going today. Had 3 tiny glasses of wine last night, and stayed off the benzo's. that's progress.
At this rate of improvement, I'll be seriously hypomanic the next time I have a session with T

Yes, I haven't had problems with regards to a shower. I just don't want to go there and day 1 I'm battling, and thereafter it gets easier and feel stupid and embarrassed I was admitted the first time
