can you tell your dr. you feel like dying and not get sent to a hospital?
Question:
Answers:
My wife is a Dr. Her brother is a Dr. (shrink), a lot of the conversations we have sometimes dwell on mental cases. You are not alone hon! Granted your problem is serious and you should be talking to your Dr. about this. You probably need to try a different medicine first, unless you just started a new med? The fact that you're bring this out into the public is an indication that you don't really want to die, but are crying for help. You can voluntary admit yourself into an in house treatment program and leave at anytime. It is called autonomy, which is your right to decide what is best for you, as long as you can make sound comprehensible decisions. Once you become a threat to society in general, then you will be admitted against your will, not only to save you but to save others. Get some rest, stay away from any drugs and alcohol, see your Dr. tomorrow and tell him/her what is on your mind. It's OK and everything will be alright, give it time. People love you!! You're not scum, just a normal human being with a physical condition no different than a heart problem, lung problem, bone problem, you are not scum Cassie!

Tell your doctor that the medication is not working and can you try another type of medication.
You really do need to tell your doctor. Maybe the medicine isn't working for you. Neither your nor your family should have to put up with this. Good luck. Go for a Psycaiatrist (or however you spell it)
They'll help
yes i went through that some 8 years ago and let me tell u that mean streak can be a PAIN u know go in and tell ur regular doctor that u need to see about a change in meds different ones cause people to react different so yes u can get help outside the hospital
Hey, let me tell you that there is NO shame in telling the Dr exactly how you feel. Yes, you could spend some time in a hospital, "could", but you should start out by telling your Dr that you are feeling very depressed and are saying things to your family that bother you and that you don't mean.
YOU ARE NOT A PIECE OF SCUM, please remember that. You just really need a med change and you need to get yourself in or get on the phone with your Dr. post haste to get this done. Until then, take it easy and let your family know what you are doing so that you can have their backing. I want to suggest to you another form of treatment that changed my life. Neurofeedback. It is possible to retrain your brain waves to work better together. I have done this treatment for over a year and the results have been super life changing. I used to snap at the drop of a hat and then I hated myself. I still have a guilt complex from what I have gone through, but my control is better by soooooo much. I still take my medication, Paxil and Trileptal and I have more work to do on my health, but I swear by this treatment. Even if you don't do that, you must stay on top of your health. Get the treatment you deserve. I pray for you. Best of luck.
