I'm just saying there's hope. And there's a lot more of it now that you have started treatment. Stick with it.
If you are admitted for 3 days you'll get more attention from a doctor and they'll probably start you on some medication. A word of advice regarding medication: If it doesn't work for you like it should or if the side affects are bad, tell your doctor. Don't just stop taking it and drop out of treatment. Adjustments and new meds can be tried. It might take a little bit to get the right stuff at the right dosage. That being said, give it a chance to work as well. I had a few side affects when I started taking one of my meds. They weren't bad and after a few weeks they went away. So give it an honest try.

Settle down. What you say to your doctor is confidential. I'll post more in a minute.

I guess my first step tomorrow will be to contact these programs and ask some questions.

Well,basically in my life, if I didn't have negative thoughts, I wouldn't think about much at all.
