Wish me luck In The hospital rn hopefully thy can help me with detox the police and ambulance people were very nice
I’m probably here overnight they have me right beside the main desk so at least I get to hear the fun conversations
🪑
If I was having severe mental problems and addiction issues to the point I can’t quit drinking by myself and my mental state becomes more concerningly unstable daily to the point I can no longer meaningfully contribute to society
would it be better to go to the hospital or fork over the cash for a therapist?
My new family doctor is no help, he told me at my last appointment to just stop drinking and my problems would start fixing themselves and after that we could talk
who is quicker about getting me to someone who can diagnose and medicate me I have been lost for a while and don’t know what to do
Please chime in if you have dealt with similar situations idk what to do anymore
I used to be medicated for adhd depression and anxiety but stopped as an early teen (I am 21 now) and now it seems like getting them re instated will be like pulling teeth
I was drinking a 750 of vodka a day less than three or four days ago.
Why the hell is it that when I switched to seltzers all of a sudden I’m puking far more coffe ground blood than before are they putting something in this shit?
It doesn’t make any sense to me. I haven’t eaten since yesterday probably hopefully that’s a factor?
I feel like I fuck up every single conversation I have with anyone else who isn’t in the three people that I talk to usually I don’t connect with anyone else. My brain is in such a far place that I feel like I’m crazy. And everyone else sees me that way
every single tiny interaction of every conversation I think back on it and I think about how odd it must’ve sounded with what I was saying (even sober I don’t remember my conversations)
my own mother does this, as well as people that I don’t know when I talk to them. It feels like I’m a homeless person that’s holding a needle looking like they’re ready to stab and the people I’m talking to are just nodding and smiling so they don’t get stabbed Does anyone else experience this?
Idk what to do anymore everyone looks at me like I’m nuts smiles and nods and dosent engage deeply
I fucking hate it.
And if I am fucked up enouht to get a that reaction I try my best to stay away from people
I get that reaction when sober buzzed or drunk
I see a lot of posts about people having to go to the hospital after a month or a couple week long benders is it just because of how long you guys have been drinking?
for me personally, I have been drinking day and night since last July after a relapse from 5 months Cali sober as well as other substances
recently switched to vodka (750ml a day trying to taper with seltzers now) over beer(15-25 a night) and I wake up with a pounding heart and cold sweating almost 3am on the dot every day but I don’t think I’ve ever had enough worry to go to the hospital I just know I need to go buy more before it gets bad or stock up and not let it get bad
I’m interested to hear from the ones who are in hospital after benders that aren’t lasting more than 5 months
