> Cora, please don't take me wrong, but you sound like you need to be hospitalized for acute suicidal ideation. You need treatment for you pain both mentally and physically. Please go to an ER and get admitted. You need treatment right away. The psych doc can get you medicated sufficiently inpatient. I don't feel you are ready for therapy at this stage. You need to be stabilized right away. Remember, this is not you Cora. This depression is a disease that came on you like it did me. Treat it as if you were bleeding to death. It is stealing your life. We want you and need you here, but you need help - ASAP. Do this as if you were taking care of your child. Don't let anyone or anything stand in the way. You need to feel safe with yourself again.Yes I was doing so much better on 6mg Klonopin a day. Now I am immobile. I will speak w/ the one daughter of mine who knows the most about my illness about the idea of hospitalization for stabilization before therapy. I did try to get in twice in the past week, but no beds. Medical docs can't help me can they...no, I know they can't. I'm afraid to go to county where there are criminals and drug abusers. Really afraid. Feedback? CF
