hi amanda-- sorry to hear about your problems. i know how tough and overwhelming it is when you know what in particular you need and you try to communicate that to your provider, and they just refuse to give you what you need. i've felt really hopeless a couple of times when being discharged from the hospital-- i made clear as well as i could how actively suicidal i was, and i felt like the drs were just giving up on me or telling me my life wasn't worth it. both times, though, it has actually required me to fend for myself. my friend put it well once: "it sounds like it was a good kick in the a** for your psyche, even though it wasn't what the psycho-iatrists intended." i know you don't feel like you have other people you could turn to... is it possible you have it within yourself to deal with these things?
good luck,
cb
