My son is in the hospital!

I am so stressed you guys. I think I've posted that my son hasn't been doing well lately. We kept trying to get him into his psychiatrist sooner, or get her to change his meds via phone consult, and nothing happened. Finally I had enough yesterday. I called the Bloomington Meadows Hospital Assessment Center, and asked them to hook me up with a different psychiatrist. I told them it didn't matter what city, I would drive if need be. He saw the new psychiatrist this morning, and they decided to admit him, because he's doing so poorly. I am upset about this. I feel mad. I feel like if they had taken me seriously at his regular doctor's office a month ago, when I started telling them he wasn't doing well, this wouldn't have ended up happening. Now I'm feeling munchy all day, to cope with the stress. Argh.

Hi Linda,
Sorry to hear about your son. Let's pray he gets the help he needs now. As for the munchies I don't know how to help. Just try to stay positive and don't sabatoge yourself. Love & Hugs.

Thanks, I'm trying. I can get through this.

I am sorry you are having these problems with your son.  I am sure he is getting the help that he needs.  I know how frustrating it is when the Dr.'s will not listen.  Missed you at the support meeting on Monday.  Clarian will be holding their support meetin on the 3rd at the Landsbaum Center at 6:00 p.m. in case you are interested in attending.  Hang in and take care of yourself.  You have come to far to slip back now Hugs Deborah

Are you doing on the 3rd to Clarian's? I might go. Just to see how it is. Let me know, okay? I would like to go with you probably if you're going.

So sorry to hear about your son..but now maybe he can get the help he needed! Get out the SF popsicles...and SF jello....eat all ya want!

huggggggs,

Janene

Great suggestion! I will have to go to the store. Tomorrow and stock up! Thanks!

I pray that your son will get the help that he needs and deserves.  You have had a rough few months with him, and now that he is in good hands, just pray that he will understand that this is for his own good.  Now, above all times, is when you need to take care of yourself.......you can't let your mind start to wander. Stay strong, and remain positive for him. He needs you now more than ever. You both are in my prayers.  God Bless

Thanks, I prayed about this the other day, and felt reassured that God gave him to me, because I was strong enough to help him, and understand him. It's good to have support on here though.

I am so sorry to hear your having a rough time.  I know it cant be easy.  I have been having problems with my daughter she has oppositional defiant disorder along with Tourette Syndrome.  I am getting ready to take her to a psychiatrist in Anderson but couldnt get in until November.  She told me the other day she hoped I died in surgery, she cusses at me.  Lies, very deceitful and hateful. It is just terrible.  I have been told I need to admit her into inpatient mental health, but it is just so hard to make myself do that.  Taking her to this new psychiatrist is the final step. If that dont work then I am going to have to do the inpatient.    Hang in there! You will make it thru this, just trust in yourself.  Dont hold in your feeling, talk to people, it isnt any good to let it build up. Jenny
