Sending good thoughts

I feel like...
 

If I go to the hospital all this other stuff can be turned off and I won't put on armor to get through the day smile to have people not question me. I am very anxious and ativaning to stay calm and in a fog.

When are you thinking about going? is it because you don't feel stable?

I went to the Wellness hospital myself about 3 years ago. Please feel free to go,and don't feel bad/guilty/ashamed/depressed,or any other negative emotion about it. Give yourself some slack knowing that you have had some really bad times. Most people around you won't understand,but we understand.

Try to put some space between you,and your sister if there is still a verbal battle going on. You don't need a sibling rivalry type of thing adding drama to your life at this time. I know that this type of thing can cause great aggravation,anger,and pain,and it's hard to calm down with this type of friction. You can possibly get together with her down the road,and make peace between you,and her,but there is a (((time))) for that.

Having space,boundaries from abusive siblings,privacy,security,quietness at times,can bring some peace into your life. Love,being accepted,and taking the medications can be a great help to you. I put my medications in trays to make sure that I don't miss a dose. Those trays(daily,and weekly) really help me. I have a four a day,seven trays for the week to keep me straight on taking my medications.

I've been on Valium,Ativan,and I'm currently on Xanax. I'm also on two other medications. You are probably exhausted. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Hospitals are good places for all the reasons you mention. You want to feel safe.

Safety
 

I do want do feel real safe every have felt safe. I fell safe with my parents. I also feel like a burden. They say they will take me to yoga, AA etc, but they have lives too. That is why I would think that going to the hospital is a good thing because there will. to be any dis tractors, just getting well and word find magazines I hope. I know I have no idea what sort of place I would be going to. I lined up care for Trip in case he can't go. I m satisfied. I meet w LCSW tomorrow and psychiatrist Thur, sure a decision b
Will be made by then. Nothin wrong w thanking care of my self. I am not so all fired important. But I do believe I can take aged vantage of all of the best tool that are available. Thanks for listening to me sort this out.

Taking care of yourself is very important.

Glad you are.

TBI/PTSD I have felt like a burden to my family all of my life. I don't seem to have a choice. Try to not feel false guilt about needing help from your family.

When I was in a Wellness Hospital several years ago,they permitted a girl to have her service dog with her. We all loved this dog. It made the stay more pleasant with a dog there. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Thank you Bizi. I still remember the dogs name. She named her dog "Opus". I imagine that she named it after the movie,"Mr. Hollands Opus". The dog was wonderful. BF:hug::hug::hug:
