Taken into a psych ward tonight

My mother, GP and a CPN turned up at my door tonight and I've been taken into hospital. As i am weighing in at only 90lbs at 5'4 that is their grounds for it but also my recent relapse. Totally terrified.

Hang in there. I am sure this is scary for you, but I hope this will get you the help you need. Stay as calm as you can (easier said than done, I know.) Sending as much good thoughts to you as I can. You can and will get through this! Hugs.

I have a feeling you're going to be just fine. In fact, probably better than you think.

Look at it as an opportunity to rest and get better.

Thankyou for your support. I feel totally exhausted but sort of relieved it is all out in the open now. Since Im cooperating and came in voluntarily it's been ok so far and i am on a drip to get some much needed nutrition. They said i won't be in long only until my bp is better and potassium levels at a safe level. I was skipping appointments all over the place so really not been helping myself at all. Going to stay with my mother once i get out for a couple weeks until i feel safe enough to go back to my own place without slipping back. X

Good to hear your OK (though I thought that would be the case). I suggest you develop a long term plan to deal with the problem. I would suggest you go with a plan that has worked for others.

Stay well.

Your Mum was brave showing you her love like that, you might have rejected her for longer than an inpatient stay. Good luck with everything and keep away from the drink it doesn't help anyone on here!

Good news that you are getting the treatment you need and that your Mum is going to be taking care of you when you are discharged.

Thankyou for the update.
