Hello,
I want to apologize once more for causing so much consternation here. I just got out of the hospital. I went in tuesday and was released this morning. I feel better than I did, not drinking or cutting or taking pills, although I still have no prospects for treatment and believe I will very soon start to miss my therapist quite badly...
I just wanted to check in for those who were interested.
Thank you for listening..
Vesper

Now maybe we can all stop nagging you to get yourself admitted!! ;^)
I'm glad you're feeling better.

Does anyone else feel bad and want to cry when people say nice things to them?

sometimes. i think (on my part) it's related to low self-esteem and thinking i may not be worthy of such things.
on that note, it IS good to see that you are back and feeling a bit better. hope that this is the beginning of wonderful things...juniper

Yeah, especially when I'm feeling bad in the first place ... then, dammit, people have to go around saying nice things.
I think that when you feel that way, it hurts because their aim is true: those nice things really are who you are, even if you can't accept them.
I'm sure Ms. Manners would say that one should always accept a compliment with modesty and grace. So much for the reaction we show others -- its a helluva lot harder for us to show the same grace to ourselves, ain't it?
cheers,
bob

I am glad you took that big step to go to the hospital. I know it was hard for you. What plans do you have to keep on track?

I don't have much of a plan, which kind of worries me. I had a letter waiting at home from UCLA that was kind of upsetting. I really have no prospects for treatment, so I am just trying to keep busy. I am still taking one half mg of klonopin per day, but I only have a limited supply left, so I don't know whether to just keep taking it until it is gone, taper even more, every other day, or what.

isn't there someone at the hospital who can help you get on track....it would be horrible to lose all that you gained. it seems odd that a hospital would take someone in a fragile state, build them up a bit and then spit them out with no aftercare.....
have you tried asking anyone there for help? maybe a prescription for clonopin?(i'm going to be away for a while, but i'll be thinking good thoughts for you---i hope that good thoughts don't make you sad also :)
