I am in emergency

I fell off Sunday night. Bad. I came home this morning at 6am. I want to hurt myself, so I have checked myself into emergency. I am struggling so bad right now.

I am also really sick. So sick. It didn't feel this bad when I quit the first time. My blood pressure is past high and I can't stop shaking. This just hurts so bad in every way.

Sit there as long as it takes, just as desertsong said. If you leave, what do you think will happen? More of the same, I'm guessing. Close your eyes and take deep rhythmic breaths, relax your shoulders, and wait for the doctors to see you. If you don't want to close your eyes, focus on a neutral point on the wall. You can do it.

Sounds like you do need to see a doctor if you are shaking and feel so sick. My bet is that when you emerge from this horror you will no longer want to self-harm and be forgiving of yourself. You will see things more clearly. Or do you self harm irrespective? I have had ideation of harming but have never acted on these impulses. This no longer happens even after only my 10th day sober. I become full of self-loathing after a bout and take it out on myself mentally if not physically. Seeing a doctor and not picking up will untangle your jangled nervous system and your physical health will improve. It is yesterday's calendar. Time now to emerge as the person you want to be and from your post drinking does not play a part in this process. It will get better.

good job getting yourself to help and safety!!

Stay there, be fully honest with them, and open yourself to the help they provide.

Hang with us here also, as much as you are able.

This can be the start of the end of your struggle and a move into a much better place in life!

Vona, I'm sorry you're feeling so bad, but good for you for getting to the hospital and taking care of yourself. Try to relax and let the professionals help you to feel better.

I am glad that you are seeking medical attention, Vona.

Please stay in emergency until the medical staff sees you; they will be able to help you.

Hang in, Vona.
