Thank you all for the kind words!

Kinda had a bit of a mental and off the rails evening... I'm not sure how I managed that, all i know that it has ,ade me realise I maybe need time out properly from the world and all that.

And with that (and the clock striking 3am) time for me to hit the bed.

Dont see it as Time out ....

see it as a valuable gift you are giving to your self, you are giving your mind, your body, your heart the nuturing it needs at the moment.

take care Lovely

Katy,

Are you OK with that? I hope you are not seriously anxious or depressed. If so, please go to the E.R. Hang in there, dear.

Hugs,

Polly

Hello Katy, I hope your doctor's app. will work out well coming thursday. My sister has gone thru a very difficult time last year, I don't know if she was depressed, but she was in a very bad state. She was afraid of being on her own and was crying a lot, the desperate type. After spending six months with my parents her conclusion was, that she would not get out of it, by her self. She already was a patient of the psychiatric department of the university hospital here in Groningen. On her own initiative she was admitted. It's not that it did go that easy, she really had to push.

And it did her really well, it really worked out very well. Oh it was not easy at all, no very difficult. But it really helped here to get here life back on track. And they were quite hard on here, but in a healthy way. The first two weeks she thought she was in a "punishment camp" and she called my parents to come and pick her up (at 6.30 AM !!!). But their reaction was, just let her yell, stay calm and replied to her "we thought you were here to go back to your own place". Than yes, she realized that was true and decided tot stay (and she had to call my parents to apologize).

But they also helped her a lot with structure, finding back her own self confidence and stimulate her to do things.

And they were very canny with pills. Of course she was asking for it, but only rarely she could get something to calm her down.

Of course you live in the UK and not in NL. And of course you and my sister are two totally different persons. But I am sharing this story to show that being admitted for a while on the psychiatric department of a hospital sometimes can also work out for the best.

I really hope you will find the right place and answers for your mental problems. It must be very hard and having MC and being mental health issues. I will keep you in prayers.

I'm kind of annoyed because I'd psyched myself up for it and now I have to wait 2 more days for the apt.

Dear Katy

That is annoying. With you in spirit.

I think my nephew went through something similar and is now doing great; on meds, but happily married and in work.

Best, ant

Seriously? "We may have to admit you--oh but it can wait a couple more days!!!"

How frustrating is that?

Love,

Mags

Morning Naty,

I know exactly what you are going through with the UK system. My SIL and his family live in NorthWest England - his wife is British and they have 3 children. His state of affairs has been going on since late June and he has not been working and things are starting to get rough. He was "hospitalized" in late July to mid August and then one day they just released him and he walked home. Not in any state to be released according to the nurses. It has been a lot of trials since then and he just saw the doctors again yesterday and still no release day for back to work. They make the appointments, cancel the appointments, reset the appointments and you are lucky if you get in.

Please hang in there and did not want to scare you with his experience since his is a very difficult case and made more so to us since we are so far away from him.

Love, Maggie
