[TRIGGER] MAY TRIGGER SOME -------------MAY TRIGGER SOME---------------------
Today has been beyond the normal bad day. Got word that they are changing my Therapist, nothing like have a temp one till they get a replacement. When I spoke to my mother in law about going back to the hospital she told me to suck it up and cope with life, and she guesses she could if had to keep the kids. I'm overly tired, very overly over whelmed with a lot of things. and I have been acting on my urges all day. Things just don't feel right. What does an S I er do when things things get so bad that you don't know what to do and the hospital feels like a failure and I don't want my kids to have to go threw it again. Any advice would be welcomed.

I'm sorry you are suffering. Sounds like your Mother in Law isn't very supportive (to say the least). As someone who has just recently got out of the hospital and has considered going back in the last 2 weeks, I can relate with what you are going through.
Whenever I think of it as a failure, I remember what one of the mental health workers said to me, He'd rather see me in there getting a "tune up" than see me in the paper (the obits). In other words, KEEP YOURSELF SAFE. If you need to go to the hospital to do that, than do that. You cannot mother your children if you kill yourself or hurt yourself so bad that you cant function.
I hope this helps.

yes i completely agree with kate. i'm sorry your mil is so nasty. mine was too. however, she never knew of my mental illness and also of my sh.
oe thing i would suggest is to be choosy with who you tell what to. its none of mil s biz and don't let her fool you into it. her job and only job is to be a loving grandmother to your kids. that is all. she doesn't have to even relate to you.
it burns me up about her but i learned a little to late to never open up to my mil. tho i knew that she would cause such trouble for me if she ever knew i had a mental illness or sh.
thus i wear long sleeves year round!
Nopoin you are a good person! don't let anyone take that away from you!

[TRIGGER] MY REPLY TO KATE AND JANKEARNEY123.....................................................................
I had 3 bad days, I should have asked for help from therapist because I should have been in the hospital the last three days, but I didn't. I have no problem helping others but when it comes to self I don't anyone out ( mainly in laws ). I have always put my needs last, I spent 3 days on a S I spree, some got to close for home, I knew I needed to get help but I also felt I was in no condition to make that choice. Some how I got through it, and know that I may not always have a warning sigh when my S I urge pops up, such as this last time, But I learned that I also have let my Therapist know fully what is going on with me, and that if my thoughts are bad enough to go to the hospital that doesn't mean I have failed, I will be doing what is best for me and my kids.
