Back in the hospital.

[no name no slogan]

Hi folks, just wanted to let you know that I'm safe in the hospital. I went missing last week amid thoughts of harming myself and I just wanted to let you know that I'm getting help. Let's just say knives and wanting to hurt yourself are a bad combination.

I hope everybody is doing well and if anybody sees Sugar Smack around tell her I love her and I'm trying to call (so answer the phone) :)

1. She's so hard to get ahold of!

I'll try and get in touch with her today, ok? :hug:

I'm glad you're in a safe place now, my friend. :hug:

2. thanks

I tried calling her all weekend but she was probably busy. Thankfully this place lets me have phone and tubes privileges so I can't complain.

Almost time for underwater basket weaving.... hope you and the Mr. are doing well!

i hadn't talked to her since last wed when i was still at my place. we chatted for 20 mins or so last night so she knows the deal.

12. thanks everyone

just met w/ the braintrust to get a 2nd opinion and they confirmed my diagnosis (bipolar II). I may be getting into a trial study on a new treatment being tested so that may be good news. At least the suicidal thoughts are down but not the self harm unfortunately. Ah well it's only rock and/or roll y'know.

Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. You're the best!!!

Well, off to wallet making class.

13. Don't take any crap from Nurse Ratchett...

things are going better today. i may be going on a drug trial to maybe squash this thing down some more. i'm still trying to decide but i'm leaning towards doing it. it sounds very promising. :)

15. Dude.

I used to be a cutter.

Stress caused me to cut myself recently. But I'm back on the right track.

My counselor tells me of a concept called "radical acceptance". She also says I don't need to try to figure out the answers to everything.

Just to enjoy life, myself, and not give a shit about what others say or think.

Which means any relationship is going to be a technical impossibility, but I'm accepting that. For me, it's either accepting there are things in life I can't have or kill myself. Guess what I'm not going to do?

And, no, I don't need empty, "casual" sex either. All that does is spread disease. I'd rather be alive with as few diseases as possible. Other people certainly won't give a damn about anything they've got; they'll not tell others because to do so would deprive them of sex. And re-channel those wrong feelings elsewhere.

I don't know what your circumstances are, so take what I say with a grain of salt and a different perspective.

Don't end up back in hospital. When I was there, I quickly learned at how much freedom I was missing out on. It was a waste of time being there. Not entirely; I knew for sure I wanted to be a positive member of society, contribute, not let my emotions get the better of me, or commit suicide.

In some form, there WILL be a positive future for us. Indeed, the fact I've thought of almost as many positive futures that make equal sense to the negative ones says something.
