Headed To Psych Ward.....
The calls to the rehabs seem to be going nowhere. I believe I'm going to be admitted to the State run psych ward as something is really wrong. I am sober but feel completely hopeless & a bit scared. My anti-anxiety meds are running out & I am getting agitated about that. I feel more comfortable in a psych hospital or even jail than I do out here in the "real world". I think alcohol is just a small fraction of my other issues. I do not like myself nor the world around me.
Do whatever you need to do to get the help that you feel you need.
It is important to put yourself first and don't ever give up.
I hope whatever you end up doing helps and you are able to take the
time to work on getting to a good spot physically and mentally.

I'm done with alcohol & substance abuse treatment. It is not my primary problem anyways. Mental health issues will kill me faster than alcohol. I believe that is why I am misunderstood here.

I've come to dislike rehabs who place all my issues on alcohol. I attempted suicide before I ever had a alcohol or drug problem. I was depressed & anxious since grade school.

Justfor1, I am glad that you started this thread, and sincerely hope you get the help you need. It comes in many forms, and I have known a number of people who benefited from psychiatric confinement and treatment to become functioning people in the outside world. Suicide is not for you. Go for it,

I realized from my last thread that I will get little to no sympathy from people here. I clearly need more hopeful & encouraging advise. I am not afraid of the consequences of drinking. I am not afraid of jails & institutions. I am more comfortable in those places. I am not afraid to die from addiction. I drink because I am mentally ill & will continue to do so until I get real help for those demons. I hate myself & also many of you people who have been harsh with me. Many bashed me for not having a job or medical insurance. I suspect those posters would not survive being homeless.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
This thread looks overwhelmingly positive to me Just.
Do you might be holding on to some resentment from other threads?
I'd let that go - it's not going to get you well.
Action will.
So whats the next step for you?
