Hey guys,
I know I haven't been around much. Sorry. things got really tough the last couple of months. Going off medication was not a good idea. I think I was kind of in denial about how bad things actually were. I just got more depressed, my OCD got way worse, I couldn't think about school, and everything just went downhill. It got to the point where I couldn't even go into my own house because of fear of contamination. I went through a range of emotions: Guilt, Denial, fear. I got so wrapped up in my OCD that even then I wanted to take the medication I couldn't. T had no idea what to do. That in itself is scary, because you look to your professional as your guide. The last couple months have been a lot of crying. Things also got rly bad with the family. They just couldn't deal with that anymore. Last week I was told that I either go find somewhere else to live on go to a mental hospital. That triggered every abandonment and trust issue I ever had deep inside me. Worst of all, T supported that decision. I am currently waiting at a friends house. The plan right now is that I go to Wisconsin, to a inpatient program for adolescents, on April 1. If anyone has ever been to an inpatient program, please let me know your experience. Thank you. in the past, I've found a wonderful group of people here at PC, and I'm counting on you right now to get me through this hard time.

Some inpatient programs are great and could help you. They offer you time to think, relax, work on your issues while being in the safe environment.
Maybe your family used the ultimatum just because they were scarred and wanted to get you some help? I agree they could have handle it better. Just saying that maybe they were desperate. Inpatient programs are quite expensive so your family must care to pay for that. |

Miswimmy, I don't have much to say except that I'm really sorry you've had such a rough time. I've been missing you around here, and wondering how you were doing. Thinking of you

Hi Mswimmy!
I've been thinking about you a lot and have missed you! I'm sorry things got so bad with going off meds, and with your family really letting you down! They could have said what they did because they were scared, but based on what you've said about your family in the past I honestly think they said it because they just plain didn't want to deal with you anymore which I think is terrible! I'm glad you have the friend's house to stay at for now. I've never been inpatient and so only have experience at day programs. I hope the people at the place are caring and helpful. pPlease keep posting!

Maybe both ideas are good ones. An inpatient stay could help with the medication taking issues and isolate you from some things that are not supportive or are triggering. From there, you could then move out on your own and possibly the facility would be able to help you find a place, or they could tell about agencies that help with obtaining housing.
I'm so sorry that your family finds it hard to understand and support you.

So strange. I had a long reply on here at one point that I know was posted, it exists in my history. I suppose it was removed, but for what reasons I cannot imagine.

(((((((Miswimmy))))))),
It is so good to hear from you, I have been wondering about you. You have been missed. I am so sorry to hear what a difficult time you have been having. I don't know anything about inpatient places, but I suspect it will be a relief because you will be away from your stressors and will be getting your meds. straight and getting counseling ( I suspect). I think this is a good thing for YOU, if you look at it that way. I hope you keep us posted. Keeping you in my thoughts.

I'm sorry you've been having a really hard time. It sounds like IP can be really helpful. I know someone who went to Rogers Memorial Hospital (which I think is also in Wisconsin) and it helped her so much. With that said, it's hard work! Hang in there and keep us posted!

Hi Swimmy,
I could be wrong but I think Rogers memorial is in Chicago. Or maybe there's two? Because we have one here. Anyway, I hope if anyone who has been there feels comfortable sharing their experience they will.

The main location is in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, but there are probably multiple locations. My friend went to the one in Oconomowoc. Unfortunately I'm no longer in touch with her, otherwise I would give you her contact info so you can talk to her.
Sorry I can't be of much help, but I want to wish you the best! |

Miswimmy I'm so sorry you've had a tough time lately. I hope the inpatient program will be a key to getting things on track for you. Please keep us informed as you can about your progress. I'm sure you will be back in no time. You are a sweet, smart girl and a real asset to PC
