I think I'm going to be admitted

And what's so scary is that I think I need to be. I'm just sat waiting for help to arrive. I've had depression for yours but since a mini breakdown on Sunday I've felt really low and just want to end it. I guess there's still a tiny bit of me that doesn't want to die hence managing to get help but oh my I'm so scared. Scared of failing. Scared of what the ambulance people will say. Terrified of going into hospital as I never have before.
No idea why I'm posting except to keep myself occupied

(((( JetcatisBack )))) It's good if you can go in voluntarily. Try to take it one step at a time. Here if you need to talk.

I have been inpatient a few times and it is ok, it is a chance to heal and recover.

Take care xx

I'm here, just waiting for the crisis team. It all got very scary, police and paramedics involved. I'm absolutely terrified. I have nothing with me. Plus just realised AF has started so I probably stink as I have no sanpro with me.
Did I mention I'm scared? I don't know what I'm scared of more though, being admitted or not being admitted and having to go home feeling like this.

I hope you're not waiting too much longer, thinking of you lots. I remember how I felt getting sectioned and going in voluntarily, neither is nice but the latter is best.

The hospital will be able to get tampons or towels for you, I would take some money in with you and ask the staff to go to the shop for you.

Do you have a partner or family who could bring some stuff in for you. When I was last admitted they gave me a couple of hours to go home and pack which really helped.

Have you been under the crisis team before? It can all feel a bit scary but they just want to help you. There is also a focus on getting people back home from hospital ASAP so you probably won't be in for long.

Take care, I am nearly a year out from my last admission and can't believe how far I have come and I am sure you will start feeling better soon.
