@Owlunar. My old roommate wasn't in any state to understand anything I was saying last night. Not her fault. She is still manic and not aware shd is sick today, but finally getting her meds today, she is a bit less manic - or less sick thsn last night.
@Bast thank you for your words of encouragement. I am an honest, open person. I see no shame in having a MI. Regardless of where or why I have it. I jave less shame about my alcohol use to self medicate - as it started as a helpful tool (initially)
I wanted this thread to be a journal for me to be able to look back on.
I also wanted it to be a place where members could hear the good the bad and the ugly of hodpital stays and how it may feel (even though we are all different) & then I hope they can follow my journey to recovery (coping).
Whether to go to hospital or not
What to expect in a psych hospital
I've been told I need a hospital stay but I'm scared
etc. These questions have been raised so many times in the year I have been on this forum. So I hope my honest -wartz and all account - can help to answer some of those questions - at least from my experience and point of view.
