Did you get my card??? If not, check your email hun....Sorry it took so long to send it :(
I was hospitalized over the summer before my new medication was properly introduced and took effect. I tried to commit suicide. I even had my best friend over, as well as my sister when it happened. So, I couldn't say that I didn't have proper support at the time.
If things get to be too much, there is a time when you must say, "I have to go." And go. I know that I really look forward to your posts here, as do many others on this board. If the urge in your head gets too overwhelming, then go to the hospital. Maybe by going to the hospital, the doctors will be able to find the optimal medication that works for you. It's a possibility. And during my stay, it wasn't bad. Food, good stories, coloring, exercise time, great nurses. The list goes on and on. It could just be the break time that you've been needing to get things sorted out in your head and make the carnival stop, or at least make it fun again. Please Jeff, if it is overwhelming GO to the hospital!! OK??
