I spent the past two nights in the mental ward at the hospital. I really hated it there, I was so happy when they let me go home. But my doctors were worried about my safety, so they sent me there. They raised my dosage of cymbalta and gave me something new to get me going in the morning (I cant remember what it's called). My only complaint is that I'm having a hard time adjusting to the increased medication, I was really sick this morning and began to throw up in the hallway at the hospital. Luckily, nothing came up because I hadn't had much to eat in the past few days and spared myself the added humiliation of throwing up in public.
I'm feeling better, but I'm a little nervous. I know I can trust myself to be safe, and I don't want to be sent back to the hospital.
Oh my...I have been wondering about you. Maybe the increase in meds will help you. I sure hope so.
What was your experience like there in the hospital?
I am wishing the best for you. Thank you for telling us what happened to you and coming back to write.
I really hated being at the hospital. They concentrated on watching you and keeping you safe more than therapy. I lost a lot of weight because I couldn't choke the food down and I hardly slept because they checked on you every fifteen minutes, and the nurses had very loud conversations all night. There was supposed to be group therapy every few hours, dealing with a different topic, but they barely followed the schedule. It was aggravating because you were sitting there doing absolutely nothing, and the only thing you had to look forward to were the crap on this schedule which usually didn't happen unless it was a meal, or visiting hours. Every one else was at least ten years older than me, which was kind of hard. I'm just glad they let me out after only a few days.
