Inpatient care

Ladybug5

Does anyone have experience in being in an inpatient or psychiatric ward etc…

Especially before I was medicated, and still sometimes, I would feel like I need to be in a ward because everything is too overwhelming and I guess it’s feeling like I don’t want to br in control anymore because I can’t do it. As well as depressive thoughts etc… I don’t know how to explain really because of course I dont want to have to be in hospital but I need someone to take me out of my life ? 
but I know that these places aren’t actually beneficial to people always? 

i feel out of options

  • I'm sorry you find yourself in this situation LadyBug.

    You know yourself better than anyone else does and you know what will be best for you. Psych wards aren't for everybody but sometimes they do help some people. I've not been detained or a voluntary admission but my sister was.. she found the first time was horrible because she was detained. The second and third time she went in voluntary because life was getting too much for her to cope.

    If you have a number or email you could talk to someone at the psych ward to see what they think might be the best option for you? That's what my sister started doing in the end. Sometimes they recommended she stay for a short time other times they gave her advice on how to cope if they felt she didn't need to do in.

    I hope things get better for you soon LadyBug.
