RobertC2: Thank you VERY much for your sincere words.
I know I should have allowed them to admit me today.
I admit I am SCARED!
I do NOT want to lose the freedom I've 'enjoyed' the past few days.
I do NOT like being controlled and shall have to be in a controlled environment in hospital.
My mother has controlled me in a negative way, then Monika (mostly in a positive way).......I just want to be ME for a change and at peace.
However, I know I need to go through with this to come out the other side a better person.............. I know that, but i am still scared, dammit!
Robert? I was admitted to hospital after the birth of my daughter when I suffered severe post natal depression. I was in for two weeks, while they stabilised my medication and I could have the time to recover, on the whole it took me two years to recover from the post natal depression.
I know this is different, but the hospital was a wing where there were many people with all kinds of mental difficulties. And it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be, I went home at the weekend, I had excellent help and it was beneficial to me and I was very scared, frightened. It may not work for you, but try to have an open mind and don't fight it. You are not detained, you are free to take yourself home if you want to. However, I hope you find the right counsellor, the right medication and that you can go on and be free from this mental prison you are in now. And hopefully, you can rest your soul and have some peace. Yes, you are scared, but don't allow the fear to stand in your way of your recovery.
