Somebody please help me..

[Mathew Lheureux]

Hey guys my name is matt.. I live in a small town just north of Michigan and recently I had my first physcotic breakdown.. I was brought to a hospital while I was in the hospital I made the terrible decision to run I walked out the front door in my bare feet and fled the hospital.. the police picked me up about an hour and a half later and brought me back to the hospital.. I waited in the emerge room for 12hours and then I was brought into a physch ward.
I was given an injection and discharged a few days later.. and now im absolutely TERRIFIED of ending up in the again ive been having bad dreams ever since I got out and im posting this thread as a desperate cry out for help... somebody please tell me if I can be re admitted to a hospital without having done anything

You need to see a psychiatrist. Are you on drugs?

"A danger to oneself or others" is the criteria used to hospitalize someone in the States. If you walked out barefoot in Northern Michigan or Canada (couldn't tell if you meant north of Michigan or northern Michigan) in January that would count as a danger to oneself. When you say that you had a psychotic breakdown, was it drug induced? It is extremely important when you are dealing with extreme mental states to stop all substances so that you can work with someone to figure out what is going on. Keep safe and I hope that you can get some genuine help.

Sure you can be admitted to a hospital.

You just go in and say what is going on.

I have been in detox and they now combine it with the psych ward.

People were in the for being suicidal, psychotic, needing their meds adjusted, nervous breakdowns, and just having uncontrolable anxiety.

It is not pleasant place to be though. I really would advise seeing a psychiatrist or doctor asap. If you feel like you need to be in a hospital call them up or go down and admit yourself to the psych ward. If you are suicidal and cannot wait until you get an apointment I cannot reccomend anything besides going into an inpatient psychiatrict setting.

Best of luck. Just remember that once you start getting help, things will get better. If you have a regular doctor, they might be able to give you a referral as well as something to calm you down.

Yeah it was drug induced a few days prior to my initial hospitalization I took maybe an 8th of mushrooms.. I think that played a major role in this situation but while I was in the hospital I decided not to tell my doc about the mushrooms so he doesn't know that it was drug induced phycosis... thank you for the support and if you have any ideas as to how I can get myself out of this mess I would really appreciate it

Are you still having symtoms?

You will want to stay away from drugs at this point. Drug induced psycoses can become a perminant thing and you do not want anything to do with that im sure.

If your still experiencing symptoms you need to see someone asap and please be honest with them. How can they do the best job at helping you if you will not tell them whats going on.

I would focus on healing and not worry about what stuff goes on your medical records.

Sorry you are experiencing this and I hope you heal and find relief very quickly.

PS.. probably time to hang uo the spurs on drug use for quite awhile if not permanently.
