I keep thinking about going to a&e because I have not felt this unsafe for years.
Thing is, I don't want to go to an inpatient unit and I find the home treatment team more detrimental than helpful.
There is no day hospital in my area.
I currently can't go on any anti depressant medications because I have some health problems that means my psych can't prescribe them.
Are there any other options anyone can think of?
Thanks

Hey,
I'm sorry you're struggling so much right now. Do you think you could tell your bf how you're feeling and seeing if he can keep you safe until you can talk to your cc tomorrow and discuss your options?
Maybe you could take some sleepers and trying to sleep until tomorrow and reassess how you are feeling then? Or even calling HTT and discuss what might help right now? X

Thanks for the replys.
For now I have taken some zopiclone so I can sort it out in the morning.
Tinkles - my bf is not really being that supportive so that's not really a option. But I think calling HTT and asking their opinion might be a good idea. Thanks.

If you are unsafe right now, your best option is A&E. Options from there do include IP, but also outpatient, and other community based schemes like support accommodation, or units (which are often privately managed).
Otherwise there are helplines, like Samaritans, GetConnected (young people), Crossline (if you're religious).
Are you going to be safe for the night, after the Zopiclone? I think HTT is a good idea tonight.

Reason: too slow at typing.
It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do.
We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us.
We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
I am being looked after by early intervention right now so I technically already have OP. There are no supported living schemes in my area either I already asked.
I'm getting sleepy now so will sleep till morning then think about what to do.
Thank you for the replies x

There are other types of outpatient, like day hospital though, depending on your area. That's a shame about supported living. Are there any schemes that fall short of IP but are still more intensive than right now?
I hope you feel better in the morning.

Sometimes just talking to someone can help and whilst A and E isn't ideal a break from your house could be an idea.
I know you have quite a lot of support from the EIS so I wonder if you could talk to them?
Has anything helped in the past?

Thanks guys. I called my cc yesterday about how I was feeling and asked about my options. She set up an emergncey CPA for me.
I went to meet her, my psych and HTT at the hospital a couple of hours later.
The HTT said that they were not willing to take me on as a patient because I was too unwell and need inpatient care. My psych and cc agreed with them.
So I'm now on the psych ward. I have real mixed feelings about being here but so far the staff have been nice I know a few of the patients so it's ok I guess. Just wish it didn't have to keep coming to this. This is my 4th admission in 10months. I feel like I'm really stuck in a cycle.
I just hope I don't loose my place at Uni or get held back a year because I really am pushing occupational health limits now.
Sorry little rant there.
Thanks you so much for all you replies.

sorry they've decided IP is best and you've ended up there. I'm pleased the staff are being nice and you know some of the patients. Remember it doesn't always have to be like this. Things will change in the long run and it's possible to stop feeling stuck in the IP cycle. Just got to keep at it right now. Sorry if this was useless. Keep posting if it helps. x
Im sooo sorry you are in ip right now that must be so tough on you and im glad your in the best place to get better. see if you can speak to them about some sort of relapse prevention strategy that can help to prevent it happening again. I am sure when your about to be discharged they have some sort of plan in place in your CPA and CP.
Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted.
I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside. I tried groups, didn't work out just made my depression a lot worse.
