Good. I left bonny a message. I know she will check in here when she gets it.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sparky is right. Involuntary admission is a dicey thing, but unless you report an actual plan to harm yourself or others, child abuse, or elder abuse, the docs are not mandated to report.
I am right here, if I can help. 202.544.0733. When you get off the phone with Tim, call me and I'll be happy to walk through a strategy.

Our wings are not tired.
I wish I had more helpful words than wishes for relief from the anxiety. Sending ~ma in strength and peace of mind varieties.
eta: Thanks Bonny and all for being here for each other

If you want to chat while you wait for a response, I'm here. If the phone is uncomfortable, email me or fb message.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm sure it would be okay to contact your therapist. This is what she's there for.

Steph if you need to talk please FB message me, email me whatever if you want.
Sending you lots of strength ~ma.
I was in a high level of distress 2 years ago when I was admitted in the hospital. It was voluntary on my part and really only because I had no support system in place and my therapist was out of town.
I hope that your therapist and the doctors are able to help the best way that they can.

I'm so sorry your distress is so high right now, Steph. I hope you can figure out a plan for getting help, without adding extra anxiety.

My therapist said to take a whole Ativan (I usually take half), and it's okay to take it now (there's an hour to go before the 8-hour interval on the label, and the dose I took at 9 a.m. was a half tablet anyway). She said if that doesn't dial my distress way down, to go to the psych ER but to call her first. I do have an appointment at 10 tomorrow morning with her (my regular appointment), and she said if I can make it until then, great, but if not, that's okay too.
So I'm full of extra Ativan now, and waiting for it to kick in.
