my pdoc wants me to go in to hospital to have a drastic drug change quick rather than waiting weeks to months to see if increases or new meds works. my hallucinations voices and anxiety is getting harder to control but i live with my mother and 4 dogs. i finally talked to her about it and she told i would have to find somewhere else to live after i get out. i know she was just scaring me into no hospital. anyone else have trouble with family understanding what treatment is best for you. ty
I am sorry your mother said that…I would be frightened in your case to go to the hospital because of what she said…better just stay home I guess and go the long route changing meds.
Are you living in the US?
I live in Michigan. I go to a community mental health facility. While I don’t have Medicaid, they do accept it for those who have it. They have intensive therapy etc to help mentally ill people. They offer case managers, nurses, pdocs, social worker, peer support specialists etc. with that level of care, I haven’t needed hospitalization. Maybe see if that’s an option for you
yes i live in the us. I am in what they call the act team which gives me access to pdoc councilors case managers peer support and weekly meetings. they all want me to go to the hospital but i have decided to give the new meds a few weeks see if it helps. ty everyone for your support.
Why would your mother say that?
she feels i have been doing good and dont need the hospital that i just want to be relieved from my responsibilities. i feel like she is just scaring me to not go in the hospital. but when it comes down to it i was dumb founded when she said it and now have to figure out what the next step is.

Omg get rid of the dogs, its not like their your children of family
thats where your wrong my dogs are my life they keep inspired to live i am losing one monday he is going to be put to sleep its killing me. i use my dogs to help with my symptoms. i can tell that my hallucinations are real or they are not real. they also help with keeping my blood pressure down and anxiety just by patting them. i have no friends and my family live in another state so im lonely and my dogs keep me company.
