askye, I'm so glad you're getting the help you need. We're always here for you.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

askye, I'm sorry to hear the anxiety is still causing you so many issues. Being somewhere that's safe is good. If that means us and the ER, both, than that's what you do. You are so self-aware, it's really a great strength in you. {{askye}}

askye, I'm glad you're checking in with us and that you took all the right steps to get the help you need. Sending you all the ~ma.
And Connie, I just wanted to say I hear you, and I'm so sorry for the pain you're feeling. I wish there was something we could do to make it easier.
Hugs all around, my friends.

Connie, I'm sorry I missed your original post, but what Kate said. I'm sorry that there are all these landmines around to catch you unexpectedly.

So I'm being admitted for an undetermined amount of time. We'll until I'm stable which seems to be only when I'm nit facing stress. Also lithium levels are low. I wil have my phone and I'm trying to decide if I want my chromebook. Maybe. Don't know what Internet access will be like.

Maybe bring it anyway. It's better that you be as comfortable as possible.

I added it to the list of things for Will to bring me. Since they aren't letting me leave. I've officially been admitted to the hospital answered their questions no I don't want clergy to visit sure put me in the directory and now I'm waiting trying not to let the battery run down until I can get a charger from Will and trying not to be bored out of my mind. At least I'm not panicking.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
My darlings, there are so many here facing stress, loss, illness, I wish I had better words, more to give.

askye, I'm glad you're not panicking, and thank you for checking in. You are not a burden.
There's a post on my Tumblr about in-patient psych stuff (someone asked me for advice, I asked the larger hive mind), and the responses have a lot of good info about what to expect, what you can bring with you, and so on. Do you want me to look it up for you?

askye, here is some of the info from the Tumblr folks on in-patient stays:
to anon (2/3 oops): pack a bag with your comfiest clothes. sweatpants, leggings, pjs, sweaters, etc. nothing with strings on it. bring shoes that dont have laces or slippers. (otherwise they’ll take your shoelaces.) they usually have washers so you dont have to bring too much. you can bring books and a stuffed animal and your own soap and shampoo. no perfume or makeup. no jewelry, leave it at home. if you have piercings they may make you take them out. some may not let you have some of the stuff.
