Bad week for me

I ended up in the hospital Sunday night and voluntarily admitted myself the the crisis unit for the psyche ward at a local hospital. I was so bad this past Sunday that I had bad thoughts of hurting myself over my living situation. I'm now in a hotel through the office of temporary assistance til I find a permanent place to stay.

Wow, just read your post, you really have been through a lot lately, that is so so so strong and wise of you to admit yourself that couldn't have been easy!!! You deserve a pat on the back for that. I remember knowing I needed to but so scared they'd keep me forever lol. So so good you have Accomadation; (I don't know your story or history just wanted to msg after reading your post) , but it sounds like you're on the way up , and that's so hard to do sometimes so well done!!!!

Mumma_h I was evicted from the house i was living in that my stepfather owned. I was suppose to be out on May 20th and was still there up until may 26th which is when I went into the hospital. I had so much fear with car door closings thinking it was the sheriff's office to come and lock me out. On top of it all it got worse with the thoughts of hurting myself. I knew if i did cut myself my one cousin would not talk to me. I did speak to him in the hospital on the phone and he may have hung up the phone on me.

It's so good you are taking care of yourself! Just one step at a time can be a help. Often psych units have good support and possible meds. I have found being open to others' wisdom can be a real life jacket when drowning....

I'm so sorry about your situation. It takes a special kind of strength to admit yourself into a hospital though and I know this testimony will bring someone so much hope and meaning
