I haven't been here that long. But It seems everytime & read postings someone is off to the hospital. Is this because of inadiquate medicating? WHAT?!? Do we all eventually end up in the looney bin? I've been ill since I can remember(probably since birth). Mental illness is severe in my family. I've never stuck with Meds until 8 months ago. I've never stuck with shrinks until just recent(I think I'll do it this time). I've just learned to cope & gotten by on my own...with a lil help from hydroponics(I don't smoke anymore, haven't for 2 years).Is this the life I can look forward to? U go on Meds.,seek psyciatric/psycological help & are doomed to a life in &out of the freaken hospital? I don't have time for a home away from home in the hosp. I'm a single mom with 2 kids!!! If this is the HOPE I have to look forward to with medical/proffessional assistance I'm gonna throw in the towel. That's no way to live. I don't mean to sound harsh & I mean NO DISRESPECT to those of you who live like that but, I'm scared & don't want that. I've never been hospitalized for mental illness (aside from being brought in by ambulance for passing out during anxiety attacks bUt I was released a few hours later).I've had relatives that were hospitalized. If that's as good as it gets, I won't bother to burden the psychiatrist on the 5th...Personally, I like to get kissed before I get F*£%"&!!!
