Last Hospitalization

[SchizoGymnast]

Well, today, Valentine's Day, marks five years since my last psychiatric hospitalization. But oddly enough it was not for suicide. It was for homicidal ideation actually. Got fired from a job and didn't handle it very well. I never thought five years later I would be in this (positive) place but here I am. It's hard to believe it's the same person I have come so far. My goal is to never be admitted to a psych hospital ever again. Here's to another year of crushing it.

did you admit yourself when you were having these feelings, or was it someone else? if you admitted yourself, you did a very good thing to protect others, and im proud of you

I was in a cafe when I got the call that I was fired. I stewed for hours getting angrier and gorier until I realized I was getting fatigued and these feelings weren't going away. I actually got to the planning stage of things and I was enjoying it a little too much. I ended up calling my state crisis hotline and a social worker came to my house. We talked it over with the on call supervisor and we mutually agreed that I should go to the ER. So I did.

I appreciate that! I don't tell a lot of people that story because it, understandably, makes people concerned that I'm a risk for violence when I'm not. I feel guilty biting the heads off of gummy bears. At the same time, telling stories like this, I hope, would take away the stigma and encourage people in my situation to seek emergency services rather than continue to stew until the unthinkable happens.

Sometimes I miss the hospital though. But if I MUST go again, I will make sure it's for trying to kill myself, like a normal person.

topics like this are always concerning, but what you chose (rightly) to do about it says more about you than what you began to feel

january for me. i unfortunately have a long history of inpatient stays. it's been a month since then though and i'm controlling myself to stay out. i don't think i could manage a place like that right now, with so many people, medications, etc.

If I had any money at all, I would start home health for psych patients.
