Today i went at the MHC asking for help with alcohol and anxiety. I chatted a bit, nothing was resolved and since it didnt seem id get a real helpful answer i left.
At home though, the thoughts and suicidal ideations became stronger so i called a hotline, the same person of the day before answered, and he said i should go back to MHC and tell them about my sui thoughts and plans. Since i was feeling like i was going crazy, i listened to him and went and talked about it all and then they wanted to keep me inpatient, but i had a job to do yet and tomorrow is xmas so i didnt want it and tried to run away but they stopped me. They said they were going to do a involuntary commitment to me and i felt DESPERATE but a little part if me was HAPPY to see someone finally was taking what i was saying seriously enough to be afraid of sending me home in that mental frame. Bottom line, no involuntary commitment, just a tranquilizeing injection and a promise to go back there tomorrow morning. Didnt seem too bad... But at least someone believed me and my pain. It was comforting to know someone, some DOC, thought it would have been better for me to stay. Even against my will... Comments? Thanks for listening. |

I'm glad you got help and that someone is now listening. Perhaps now things can move upward and forward.

Hi sinking: I'm so glad you reached out for the help you need. Yes, it is so comforting to at least have your feelings validated... even if the "mechanics" are awkward. I often wish there were someone who would do the same for me. But there aren't. Fortunately, in my case, I have learned to live with it. I hope that you do return & that you receive the help you both need & deserve...

I know the feeling-- you want someone to care enough to act but involuntary is scary and not really helpful. My CBT T is terrible when I'm suicidal. He acts as if I won't do it, I think because he doesn't want to get that involved. I hope you have more support today!!!

Voluntary is always best if you want more say in your treatment. Just FYI.

Thank you all! very appreciated any comment here!
i did go at the MHC this morning and talked about anxiety and about yesterday, my feelings and thoughts. but again, as soon as i went back home i was feeling crappy with side effects from yesterday's injection and went back. they gave me more meds to contrast those side effects and we'll probably do something about my alcohol problem and my suicidal ideations in the next days. meanwhile i try to keep fighting, and honestly with so many pills, its easier.... they seep suggesting a stay there but i keep refusing for different reasons.... anyway, thanks again. |

Glad you went and glad they gave you something to help. When I am all in a muddle, my as-needed meds help a lot. Please go back if the SI gets any worse.

I'll have to go there every day for a while, for them to see how i am doing, since i dont want to go inpatient.... on onw hand its nice, on the other.... it takes a few mins to kill yourself, so they cant help much on that point.... but still glad they worry for me and try to support and help.
today feeling better with the meds... thanks. |

This scares me. Maybe you should stay, let them get you really balanced out with a good med adjustment/change. If you stay there they can make more drastic changes/adjustments because they can have eyes on you at all times. I know its easy for me to say but I've also been there. Just stay safe.

Going inpatient is always a little scary, but each time I've been inpatient it's really helped me. I'm glad that the nurses and Dr. are working with you. I'm glad that you're getting the help that you need.

I'm so glad that you found good caring help. I know not feeling cared about eaffects us mentally & physically. No wonder why you struggle with alcohol, anorexia & anxiety....all related to not feeling cared about. It's a good start finding help. Finding a support group IRL is really important too. Until I moved far away from my past, I never had good support until now though all in my past would have said how supportive they were...there was no emotional support or understanding. Wishing you the best with your inpatient stay
