[quote=Anonymous]Pp here and I just saw your update about your fears of this hospital. This is so understandable and even more of a reason to tell your therapist now. This is so important. Your therapist can help you work through a safety plan that YOU feel good about and talk through what the options are before hospitalization. You should know that for there to be an involuntary hospitalization the bar is extremely high. There are many things you could do with your therapist especially if you have prepared by working it through now to prevent hospitalization. For example, making a plan to have 24 hr supervision while your meds are adjusted from home for example. Doing a partial day hospitalization program. But working through these fears while you are in a more rational thinking place is so important. Remember, your life is at stake. Your kids lives. You can do this.

And, this all being said I agree with the pp that hopefully you can also work through with your therapist under what situations you might voluntarily go to the hospital. A hospitalization is sometimes necessary to keep you alive and is worth every second if that’s the case. You are worth every effort. And talking through these scenarios and feeling secure in your plan will help you if you ever start to feel like this again. You’ll have built some safe pathways in your brain about how to talk about this. [/quote]
