Hello everyone, well I have an update. I went to the new therpist to see if he would lock me up? just kidding to see if the could make me help myself really, well they told me NO because im not suicidal, and it wouldnt help me. There went that idea so now I am talking to him and he is asking questions, and relates all this to PTSD. So now im stuck everything i am feeling is all coming back to me, from when i was robbed and im being forced to talk about it and i dont want to. BUT they say it will help, and I just dont see how. I still cant take my stupid meds which is what I want to do and I have this weird pain on the left side of my head above my ear, it almost feels like im being shocked every couple of min. I am at a loss he and feel like im going back and back and back and it keeps going. Oh and I have a really bed cold and cant breath which isnt helping the sleep which isnt helping what ever is going on with me. This pain in my head has been there Nov 26th so it isnt from my cold. HELP

I don't understand this, Nicole. People are admitted everyday on a voluntary basis. A therapist doesn't have the power to admit you anyway. It has to be done by a dr. You can always go to the emergency room & be evaluated by the on call physician. That's in a general hospital with a psych unit. If it's a private psych hospital, usually people are evaluated by a social worker. State hospitals aren't generally an option. They take patients who are sent involuntarily by court committal. If you are feeling as bad as you say, still unable to take the meds & not functioning as you should, then you deserve treatment.

Has a regular doc checked out the head pain? I get head and jaw pain from muscle tension and stress, but it usually goes away.
I agree with Jan, if you need more help than you are getting, then go to the ER or another doctor and ask.
My therapist has gone into a lot my screwed up family family history and teenage anst, which I didn't really see the value of (I end up a little weepy which surprised me at first) But I usually do feel relief and better afterwards...sort of lighter.
Hope you find a doc who is right for you and some relief.
Hugs,
Dee
Well he said even if I did that they wouldnt admit me because I am not suicidal. so basicaly I would have to say that i am going to hurt myself in order to be admitted, and i really dont want to do that because I dont want to run the risk of loosing my kids over it. So i really am at a loss.
