I have no energy for fighting demons any more.
Lately I’m thinking about long term stay in special hospital.
It has option of paid stay, and you get more care.
I can’t live like nowadays.
If something doesn’t change, I’ll bring the idea to my father.
Ps: To add, this hospital is for severe ill patients, and I heard lot of bad things happen there.
It’s not like hotel…
Zoa, I would think very carefully about going.
State hospitals in my area are very dangerous.
Is it like a State hospital?
Be very careful!
I didn’t feel safe in my psych ward, state hospital would be probably worst in my opinion.
Um, no hospital is like a hotel. You are going to hear all the bad things about hospitals before you hear the good. My suggestion is you make a list of all the pros and cons of going. I’m just going to say that state hospitals are not like private hospitals, but that doesn’t make them evil.
Thanks @anon55031185 @Airparticle @Wave…
Well, as I said, it’s not hotel, and I know it…
I will wait, usually I don’t get negative vibes with hospital stays.
I sleep better, have food, smoke less.
In ten days I’ll be 49.
I struggle a lot to live like this, especially no money for esential things.
No one really cares how I live, so as I said, I’ll wait for few months, and try to talk with some doctor who works there.
I AM scared, no doubt…
What ever you choose hopefully works out for you. 
Well the thing is it sounds like you want to go to a long term facility so you can have proper food and shelter. It sounds to me like you need a better social worker and state health care support team, to help you have better access to your living needs. If your illness isn’t severely mentally debilitating, then I would think a long term facility is not the right decision. Those are for people who are a danger to society or unstable. I could be wrong. 
You are right @anon55031185…
It’s just that one day in life I can be severilly deluded, and I will have no one.
I’m doing ok in my place, it’s small, but enough…
There is problem that not in near future, but longer term I could not take care about my self.
I heard stories from people who were there, and they are different.
I know at least three people who are there for life.
I’ll try to talk with my curent dr about it, and other options.
Next time I visit her, I’ll ask again for state local social worker, to see other options, maybe attend local support groups…
Thanks…
Can you go to a group home Zoa?
We don’t have it here.
Don’t worry buddy, I won’t do anything stupid
I’m sorry. That’s tough. I hope you find a better solution. Do you have social workers where you’re from?
@LilyoftheValley, I just paged local fb group that deals with MI.
I hope they would aprove my post, so I would know better about groups I can attend, and hospitals that work with seniors.
That’s a start…
Yes, that is a good start.
Milk the 1. time I got sick I was in state hospital for 3 years. At that time I was very fragile and I had a good stay there. Talk to someone you thrust about it and find out if that’s the thing you need.
Thanks @columbus…
I must talk to my pdoc first, she probably knows what is it (the place)…
Sorry to hear that Milk. It must be very scary. I am getting close to that situation, as I feel I will not be able to take care for myself and is very frightening feeling.
I am sure you"ve put everything in ballance and are thinking for the best option.
At least at hospital you might get company, but probabbly will not be the nicest one.
Could you find out what is the hospital ward like, before you try that one?
Just thinking of you, makes me be affraid since I can relate to that.
i feel sorry for you. i hope you get better and make the right choices
There must be other options. I hope things get better.
I decided not to go.
But I’m really doing bad.
I hope tonight I will have not good but dissent sleep, and vivid horrific dreams will subside.
