I’m really struggling right now. The fact of my daughter is too much.

I have seen some of your posts leaf. You are making lots of sense and very well spoken. I feel like if you can cope with certian feelings or stressors you dont have to go to the hospital. But if you really feel you need to it is still your descision. It is good you are reaching out.

Maybe call your psychiatrist first, and get their opinion?

Do you have a therapist? Maybe talking about it will help to ease the pain.

I have an appointment with my therapist at 3:30. My daughter called and started in on me and I told her she might not be able to get ahold of me because I might be going in the hospital for a few days and she called the cops on me. So the chief came over to check on me. He just left.

If she was really worried she should have called an ambulance not the cops.
Sounds like her intentions aren’t 100% pure.

Go to the therapist appointment and take it from there.
But if you can get hold of your psychiatrist that might even be better.
I’m sorry @Leaf , it sounds like a horrible situation.

Do you still think you need the hospital or are you feeling more stable after talking to the officer?

If an officer came to my house to check on me,
I’d be so stressed out I’d probably feel like I need to go to the hospital too.
Give it a little bit.
Take a PRN.
You may need to go, you may not.
But that was a VERY stressful thing and I think your reaction is normal considering.
Not trying to discourage you from going,
You should if you want or need to.
Just saying that would freak anyone out.

I don’t know. I don’t know what I need. He told me to block my daughter’s number.

You’re right. I need to calm down. I can’t even think straight.

I’m sorry that you are feeling stressed @Leaf
But like @Charles_Foster said, a cop coming to my house would stress the hell out of me too.
It’s a normal reaction

He didn’t stress me really. I’m allowing myself to get upset over things I have no control over. No matter how hard I try I can’t stop worrying and feeling guilty about my daughter.

Allowing yourself some room to process these fears and emotions is a good thing so long as it doesn’t last too long and become your norm. It’s healthy to process, but not healthy to ruminate. Your therapist is your best bet to help you process through it . You could even request swing your therapist 2x per week to get you through it for a while. It’s ok to need support
