My therapist is talking with my doctor to see if they think I need to be admitted. I am doing my best to cool my jets, but I have been manic for awhile right now. I told then I was safe and because my daughter is living with me they cut me a little slack. I know I need to sleep and not spend any money but it is so hard! I DO
NOT WANT TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!!!. I also got into trouble about my eating patterns. I am really trying. I work out to burn off the energy form the mania. I guess I'm not even doing THAT right. Gee wheeze what am suppose to do? Frustrated but not giving up.

Take care of yourself, Wanda. Whatever that means for you. I completely understand not wanting to go to the hospital, though. I am in the same boat.
Wishing you well,

Have you been to the hospital before? Do you have insurance? Maybe it is worth a shot - get all meds taken care of at once! I wish you the best.
If you can see a steady (if slow) improvement in your mood and abilities, then I would ask the doctors if they cold just tweek your meds. If not, maybe go to the hospital, but with a set date for release. Peace.
I had worked with a manic patient during my one of my rotations and at first, I didn't understand as I was only a student. But going through that process with her as our class visited more, I learned so much from her and learned it wasn't easy.
May God guide you and always give you discernment. I pray for His healing over you. Take care.
Hi there sweet,
I hope you will find your balance, and not giving up is a great attitude to have...
I have to take Seroquel as my sleeping pill at night, and when I skip it, I feel like my world is full of fear, and terror...
I have a tag, and an award for you, so Click on this link when you have time to take your award
Love,
Jesse
I sent you my number on FB (private message) .. .call me if things don't go your way so I can at least come up and give you a hug or two ... I'm praying for you my friend
Sometimes it does feel like we can't do anything right. I'm actually a huge advocate of exercise although I used to do it to extremes. My sciatica won't let me work out on treadmills, ellipticals and exercise bikes for up to 5 hours at a time any more. These days I have to take it to the therapy pool a lot of the time. As someone with an eating disorder myself, I actually tend to be more concerned when people show signs of having an obsession with controlling what they eat. I hope you are able to talk to someone about it and don't have to be admitted. I go to great lengths to avoid ever being admitted. It happened once, when I was 16. I was treated like shit and vowed never to let anyone put me in that position again.
Wanda I am praying God will guide you in to doing what you should do for your own sanity and health. -Maybe you NEED to go to the hospital for awhile. None of us want to go in the hospital, Sweetie--but if you're at a place--a bad place--it may be the right move for you. I'm praying!
