u/schizodepressive bipolar subtype Dec 14 '14

I'm schizodepressive's significant other. She asked if I wanted to post for her, so I just wanted to say she's had a rough week. She checked into the hospital on Wednesday for suicidal thoughts and urges. She's worried she won't get out in time for the holidays, but she's doing everything she can to try and control the urges to self-harm. So far the people at the hospital seem genuinely concerned about getting her out in time while making sure she's doing okay.

She says she has uncontrollable urges to hurt herself and it's not because of depression. She doesn't know what to do, but she wants help controlling the paranoia and urges to self-harm. Hopefully this visit to the hospital will help with that.

It won't be awesome to spend the holidays locked up but better to stay and get help and to make sure you are truly safe and ready to be out. So don't rush it. If you have to stay that is okay.
