I'm scared of this choice

Tomorrow, we decide whether or not I go into the hospital. I don’t want to go, but I feel like I need to. Being in public spaces is starting to get scary, and it’s starting to get loud in my head. Tonight, I was getting overwhelmed, and my friend told me the look on my face was just like last time. I feel lost, I don’t know what to do.

I just heard a voice say “it’s time” in the murmuring running through my head. Maybe that’s my answer. Maybe I just need to stop worrying and take the plunge. The hospital is a scary place but going through another few months of the horrors I experienced is so much scarier. It’s getting hard to concentrate. Wish me luck.

You should get into the hospital and work on silencing the voice. It’ll be a lot better in the long run I’m sure.

Good for you…good luck too. I know how difficult it would be for me to check into a hospital again. I think I’d just think of it as a nice vacation and a time to get well again. Good luck with getting well again…

I am wishing you luck and I’m hoping that while having a chance to see a doc everyday you can get the meds straightened out, and get a chance at more resources and services.

I’m also hoping that when you walk out, what you went through last year… won’t be happening again this year.

I’m wishing you a whole ocean of luck.

Let us know how your doing.

I am glad you are going to the hospital. I think it’s a good decision. If I was unstable I would go.

I just got out of the hospital. I went because things were getting scary. Hospitals aren’t that bad. I’ve been in and out of them for the past 17 years. It is kind of like a vacation. You don’t have to worry about anything other then getting well. Some of them will let you have an mp3 player as long as it doesn’t have a camera on it. I don’t remember if you smoke, but some will let you smoke. With my last stay the doctor was really good. She adjusted my meds and I feel a lot better. The only thing that sucks is it can get very boring. I took tons of books and puzzle books, but when I first got there I couldn’t concentrate so I would just sit in the lounge staring off into space while my hallucinations acted out. Sometimes you can get cafeteria privileges if they have one and go off of the unit for meals. Good luck to you! :sunny:

I hope you get better. Either way, good luck and you have support. We’ll be rooting for ya!

**I believe you are making a good decision for your health.
Because you are going on your own, you can leave whenever you feel better!
I wish you the very best! Know that when you come out-you are going to be feeling a LOT better-and be proud of yourself for knowing how to take care of yourself!
Much love~~ **
