Can't seem to get it together

I'm sorry everyone, I can't seem to get my head together since coming out of hospital, everything seems bigger and harder than before. I thought surrendering to my Psych and letting him put me in hospital would be a good thing for me and get me back on track, but it seems i was very wrong.
I just want to be in bed all day and not talk to anyone, and the only good thing about that as far as my doc is concerned is if i am in bed, i am safe (at lease from any outside dangers anyway).
He wants to put me on more medication, which i don't think is necessary, so we agree to disagree on this one. He said if he has to he will put me in hospital again for longer and detain me if he feels i am a danger to myself. I can get out of that anyway, have before so he doesn't have the control over me that he thinks he has. He is trying to get to me, and he won't, he says he is trying to help, but it doesn't. I don't think i will go to see him anymore.
Talking to you beautiful people on chat has been good for me at times, but it is such a burden for people to hear other people's problems day in day out. I know you say it isn't, but i can't burden anyone so i can't talk about my issues in the chat room. I know there are a few of you who feel the same, so you will know what i am talking about.

In hindsight, maybe more medication would be good, lots more which would fix everyone's problems. I would just have to make sure it is done right this time.

Again, i'm sorry people, i am really struggling at the moment and can't see an easy way out of this mess.

Take care all.

Luv Nouse

Hey hun,

Don't be sorry at all hun. We are here to listen and help one another if we can. You are a great person sweety, right now you are going through a rough patch. I am not sure when but things will eventually get better.

Also, I think its a good idea for you to get a second opinion from another doctor.

Did you try baking today? was thinking about how you were going. do let me know.

take care darls

love

It is a hard road we journey on and sometimes we fall over and get hurt... but with some help we get up again and start all over again... you said baby steps... listen to your wise mind... and take baby steps with this... see if you can make it through one day at a time... maybe an hour where you don't think about ending it all... you have to create a goat track of a thought about living to change the super highway of suicide... you need to give your mind an alternative thought to think... I am not sure i have said this right...

I get on the super highway... it is an automatic thought when things get bad for me... so like you i think of ways to end it when i feel out of control...

your doctor is trying to give you some support via medication to help stop the thoughts... but do you want to stop the thoughts... sometimes it feels like they are the right thoughts and to think differently is wrong... but that is a habit... and small positive thoughts feel strange... keep thinking them and they will feel normal and the negative thoughts will feel strange...

I know talking to others is good... but you don't want to be a burden ... it is my decision whether i listen to you or not... it is not your decision to tell me what i feel or don't feel... so if i say it is ok to talk to me about anything or talk about the thoughts dominating your mind then I have made my decision...

Also want you to think about this... keeping all your dark negative thoughts in your head and never sharing them with another person makes them stronger and gives them more control over you... so the best thing to weaken them is to share them... what you think is not different to me... i have dark thoughts... and i think if anyone found out they would think i am bad... so you will not shock me...

take care

Sorry to read you have had a stint in hospital.

Please don't try and out smart your psychiatrist. They can section you for your own safety and then put you in a secure ward where it is very bare.

The meds sound like a goer. Talk to the psych and see why they want to add them to the ones you are currently taking. Research the med and then decide. You still have the right to say yes or no.

Go Nouse!!!
