Ok so my depression worsened. I was suicidal and my depression and anxiety hit rock bottom. I went up to St Joe's ER, only to be thrown into the psych ward! When I got up to the unit and realized it was a locked unit with no TV or Phone in the room it freaked me out and I acted like a crazy person, but who wouldn't when they are not used to being in that kind of environment. The first night was the worst. They allowed my mom to stay with me to calm me down. The next day, I woke up a little hesitent to start my day. I went and had breakfast in the dining room with everyone else, felt VERY akward not knowing a single person in there. As the day went on I met with a social worker, a medical DR, a psychatrist whom I did NOT trust, activity therapists, and nurses! I was VERY apprehensive, however I went to groups and therapies as requested by my psychatrist and nurses. I found the groups to be EXTREMLY helpful and actually some of them were rather fun. I met a lot of nice people who were going through the same thing I was. Alway's nice to know your not alone.
I have been home almost a week and I'm doing remarkably better. Although I still get Anxious, I'm no longer "Scared" and I was able to go run errands with my husband yesterday. Sure did feel good to get out of the house, although when I got home I felt overwhelemed. My mind is still in a very fragile state but all in all I am improving!
Thanks for checking in! God Bless!
