Freaking tf out

My psychiatrist appt is in an hour. A lot of nervous energy and wild ideas of just leaving running away and being homeless. Really terrified they’ll want me in the ward. I imagine them hunting me down, tackling me and injecting me with aps when they find out I’m unmedicated and psychotic.

It’s a zoom meeting, I did that specifically bc of these fears, and I didn’t tell them it was regarding psychosis.

I hope they don’t make me go in patient. I don’t see how I could do that with my dogs.

If your coherent and have insight theres basically 0 chance of them taking u away unless u tell them u have plans for suicide.

Just be honest.

Also if you’re planning to go on disability it helps to have been admitted to a psychiatric hospital.

Yeah if you are not a clear danger to yourself or others they won’t commit you.
Try not to worry @fractaled

Thinking about this for an hour, will only create more scenarious. Can you do something to take your mind of things? Movies or YouTube, anything to distract yourself

No, I’m stuck ruminating on it

Are you and your dogs on your own? Do you have anyone around you who can help with your dogs in emergencies?

What if my destiny is the mental hospital? :joy: :upside_down_face: :disappointed_relieved:

It’s very expensive to keep someone in a mental hospital.

Likely you’ll be in for a couple of weeks and get some meds.

No, that’s why this is so terrifying.

I’m going to mention IOP if they talk about the ward, because I can manage that a lot better, but there’s no guarantee…

Sounds like a plan.
Your doctor and you should discuss and decide what is best for you and your dogs.

Hope you get well soon.

The Dr still hasn’t shown up on the telemed appt. Is this normal? Should I keep waiting? I’ve never done telemed before… She’s almost 15 mins late

Can you email/text him/her and mention that you’re waiting on a call?
