In reply to thinking of hospitalization- Please help me, posted by cpallen79 on August 15, 2004, at 18:32:34
I was very depressed and phycotic and cutting myself and feeling very suicidal. I called my dr and was connected with a pdoc that day I had an apt with him and he addmitted me voluntarily into the phyc ward at a hospital. The food was good, they made sure i took my meds, made me go to therapy classes (cross stitch, latchhook, painting, etc), we had nap time and I think I only saw my dr there once. Pissed me off. They released me a week latter into my husbands authority and made him sign some release papers saying he would keep an eye on me. I saw my pdoc the next week and things went on from there. I would say it was a very possitive experience but I had little to no say over what meds I was being put on, what there side effects were, what other options I had, etc.
