going down rabbit hole

[reinventingmyself36]

hi all,

Im posting again and sorry if it sounds similar to other posts. I’m suffering from severe panic attacks each morning and inability to function normally and do productive things. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a great Brooklyn or manhAttan hospital that I could check in to help me with my debilitating mental issues that won’t allow me to do much. I heard a good psychiatric hospital can provide great medical team and a good stay for 7-8 days. I’m thinking it’s my last resort. Any tips? Thank you

I can't help you with the hospital part, so I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry you're having a hard time. I am in a rough patch myself and it's messing things up big time since my husband and I want to go on vacation soon but I'm worried about doing that with my mental stability at the moment. Sorry, won't go on about me anymore. I just wanted to convey that you're not alone. Can I ask if you're seeing a therapist and if it's helping you?

Oh, and please don't apologize for anything. I've been posting about similar things for the past year.

Thank you for reaching out to me. Sorry that you’re also struggling with such issues. I hope your husband is a great support for you. I’m in therapy and have a psychiatrist and still it doesn’t help. Thank you

Thank you and you're welcome. Yes, my husband is a great support. I'm sorry the therapy and the psychiatrist isn't helping. Have you told them this? They should know if their approaches aren't working.

I am so sorry you are where you are at the moment. I often get the urge to check myself in somewhere but have an Ex that would like to take my custody. I used to live in NYC. NY Presby is one of the top behavioral health facilities in the world. Second to that, if you needed to travel up to Yale (New Haven), they also have some good programs too. Best of luck, keep us posted! We all truly care here!

They do have a pretty good program and a lot of psychiatric help. You meet with 2 psychiatrists every day. The one problem is that it is difficult to get a bed. I think most go through the emergency room and indicate that they are suicidal. I spent a week there and it did help. There is a lot of interaction with the other patients, most of whom are very nice and friendly.

thank you for sharing your exeprience. Which hospital did you go to?

[b1b1b1 in reply to reinventingmyself36]

Columbia presbyterian medical center. It is at 168 th st and Fort Washington Avenue in northern Manhattan --close to the GW Bridge entrance on the NY side.
