Sometimes my anxiety attacks are bad enough that i want to go the hospital but i know they would put me in the psyc ward and nothing is good about staying in the psyc ward… Especially if your anxiety has faded. Or having a panic attack while in the psyc ward
That happened to me today. Caused by caffiene and pre workout. After I was done I was shaking and my voices were loud and I had to drive around and wait for my sedating meds to kick in. It was hell.
Eleven hospitalizations for precisely this experience from 1997 to 2003. But, wait! It gets worse! 30 months of autonomic imbalance during that period . Full blown panic – freak and fry, not fight or flight – 24/7. And the f##k-wits would give me neither benzos nor anti-Ps from 1999 to 2003. (Mis-dx’d.) If one has PTSD, they better get the dx right… and a lot of people with sz have PTSD.
sometimes the psyc ward feels traumatic and only aggravates anxiety.
some psyc wards they only discipline, they don’t nurture like you need.
try to nurture yourself out of the anxiety and pain, use whatever works for you.
hope this helps.
