You are def right I am not doing very well. Both doc and therapist are aware and doc has doped me up for a bit, so sorry if I've lost my wit. Thank you for you concern. It really means a lot in times like these.
I should be in the hospital now for evaluation, but b/c I have been a social worker in the past and know so many in the field doc lets me do what I call “home hospitalization" which is basically a 'contract" with him that I stay at home like I was in a hospital and call him every day or so until he sees me and “releases” me. I am very lucky to have a doc that trusts me and allows for this unconventional treatment style, as I know how bad hospitals suck from the only time I did feel suicidal and called him for directions as to which to go to, what to pack, ect.
If I were suicidal this would NEVER be allowed but my panic attacks are full force. I am so agoraphobic at the moment I could not leave the house anyways. He knows that I take my life seriously, am 100% med compliant and do the best with the hand I have been dealt.
