Dear Deneb, (((((((((you))))))))))
I'm glad you told your parents & I'm glad your Dad made his own decision to take you to ER.
I'm glad you phoned Telehealth. Last night I was so stressed by the whole situation that I couldn't remember the name: Telehealth.
I'm glad you made the wise decision of telling the complete truth at the hospital.
I'm glad they kept you in & I'm sure the fluids were important.
I agree with everything everyone has already said here.
I am wondering where you got the aspirins from this time.
Obviously your Mom has some concept of what it's like being "locked up" - who knows; maybe something form her life; maybe knowing someone long ago when things were very different. It seems to me that your Dad might be the better parent to talk with about potentially disturbing matters.
Deneb, I hope you talk with your pdoc about self-harm. If she doesn't see it as a major problem, I strongly suggest considering talking with your family doctor about getting a new one. You might also call the Canadian Mental Health Association & see if they have any suggestions. I see this type of self-harm as a very big, potentially lethal problem. I hate to see you in such ongoing distress & unhappiness. You deserve to get help to develop non-destructive ways to deal with situations & feelings. You, like all of us, deserve to be happy & healthy. I wish only the best for you.
Dr. Bob - maybe this should go on Admin - I'm not sure. I just want to say that it was pretty scarey & upsetting not to know how to respond; what to do; how to help etc last night on Chat. Do you have any suggestions? I hope this never ever again happens in the future, but in case it does, do you have any suggestions?
thx Kath
