when is it time for hospital

[Anony18]

Are you seeing your GP soon @outlander? Might be worth asking if there is a reason why she may not agree with the psych.

The next time i see a gp will be next friday and itll be with the new obe as mine will be awaydor 3 weeks now @Anony18

[outlander]

I guess i didnt think to ask either while i was there. It just went with the feelings of no dont go to hospital. Youll be right. Get over it type of thoughts @Anony18

I can't tell you whether holding off on hospital is right @outlander. I can tell you that my experience with discontinuation syndrome was that it did cause a huge mess in my brain (and throughout my whole body) that did get better as the symptoms of it wore off. It didn't make my suicidal thoughts disappear and as you know I still needed that admission, but there was a period between the medication muddle and psych triage being called, where I felt a little better. Or maybe just not as intensely bad as during the medication related mess.

In terms of the retreat, are you able to ask your psych for more details so you can make a more informed decision? I'm not sure how you would 'have' to stay anywhere unless you were subject to a treatment order. While it may be strongly recommended and there may be more benefits from seeing the program through, it's hard to imagine that you'd be held against your will at a retreat.

I dont know whats right @CheerBear
I know its rough when going off meds but ive had these thoughts while i was on them. I know a little bit of this is the withdrawal part and i was warned about it but i dont think its all of this.
I will ask more about the retreat but the way shes talking i think she would have to refer me to it and the program but id have to get more info on it.

I thought about just spending a night or two in a hotel by myself to get away abit but my mother wasnt happy about that either

Maybe ask your new gp next week @outlander. I can see how it is hard to think of the question to ask when you are shocked by the GPs response, given it was not one you expected. 

As for your mum not being happy. I hope you do not take offence by what I am about to say but it appears whatever you seem to do or say or choose to do isn't anything that is going to make her happy. She does not seem very appreciative or supportive and I feel real sad for you and want to just give you a big hug. I really do! As I have said, along with the others, as tough as it is, you need to try consider what is best for you and getting yourself better, even if it is slightly better for now. If 2 days in a hotel will work then take the 2 days to chill and relax. You deserve a break from time to time. You need a break from time to time.

When is your next appt with the psych @outlander? It might help to have a list of questions prepared about the retreat, so you can try to get as much info as you can. Are you able to email or call for questions? I know for me having all the information I can get makes me feel a lot more able to make a decision. Often there's a wait between a referral and a space becomes available for things like this (not that I'm exactly sure what 'this' is but it sounds reasonable that there may be).

[outlander]

@Anony18 no offense taken
@CheerBear next psych isnt for another 3 weeks yet

[outlander]

When the f@#k am i going to get a break!
These ideas are starting to sound good as in not being here at all.
Its my fault they say. Im making it harder then it really is she says
How can i accomodate everyone all the time
I cant do it! And now if i speak up im in crap for it
Im seriously over it.
Maybe i should do something then it wont be an invisible illness
