Im seeing a new pdoc next week because mine isn’t listening to me. I’m afraid that if I’m honest about my thoughts and what I see, I’ll end up in the hospital again. I’ve seen some scary things in hospitals, and don’t want to go back.
Ate you a danger to yourself or others? If you can appropriately safety plan for yourself they shouldn’t put you in the hospital. Granted, that’s not always how it works, but please try to be honest with your doctor.
Are you on meds now?
I’m not a danger to myself or anyone else. I’m on my meds, they’re just not stopping me from seeing or believing certain things. I know I’m told its not real, but it’s very real to me.
I don’t think they’ll hospitalize you for that. That’s just normal crazy people stuff. They can’t lock us all up!
The last time I saw a new pdoc I had to lie to get out of going to the hospital. I had to say I knew my thoughts weren’t true but that I felt like they were.
Usually they don’t put you in a hospital unless your a threat to yourself or others.
Well the last Dr puts everyone in the hospital who is psychotic and he said having delusions and seeing things that aren’t there means you’re psychotic.
That’s not moral people need help and being psychotic is no means to place someone in the hospital unless they are a threat
Thanks
I agree. So I’m really hoping I don’t get sent to the hospital.
I wish the best of luck to tou.
I put blessings upon you. You will not go to the hospital. The things you need will be provided. So shall it be.
I don’t know what hospitals are like where you live, but I don’t think hopsitals are just for psychotic people whoa re a harm to themselves.
I was put in the hospital because I needed help to get better in a safe, stable environment where they could monitor my medicines, and it did me good.
I’m glad I went.
If you’re put in a hospital, it’s not the end of the world.
Don’t lie to the doctors, if you do, they won’t know that they’re not helping you right, because they don’t know the whole story. You want to get better, so trust that they know how to make you so.
I watched a guy fall hit his head and die in the hospital because he was so overmedicated. He had schizophrenia. I’ve also seen my fair share of violence. So I’m not comfortable in the hospital. It’s not safe there.
It’s a lot safer than the streets
They can’t hospitalize you just for thinking weird things. I used to be scared of that too which is why it took so long for me to open up about it in therapy, but they really can’t do anything unless you’re a danger.
