What does an inpatient stay look like here?
Does anyone have experience with inpatient stays for mental health in BR? I have suffered lifelong with my conditions (including schizophrenia and bipolar -- my doc says I'm not schizoaffective though??? idk man) and everything has been coming to a head. I'm suffering periods of blackout amnesia and my job is on the line now. Low stakes job but third "mess up" in a few months is making it easy to have less patience. I also sleep two whole hours a night, except for the weekends in which I will sleep until 5-6pm or later.
Anyway. I'm losing my fucking marbles and my psych today said inpatient might be the ticket. I'm just wondering how awful that might be? I've put off seeking higher levels of care for so long because of horror stories and being fearful of how they might treat someone like me. I'm not suicidal, I'm not a danger to others or myself; just feel like I'm approaching a mental break. Feel like I need more care than adjusting meds once every two months and hoping for the best. Before you ask -- actively seeking therapy to work on my PTSD. No one wants to accept Medicaid. But I am working on it. (Just like I'm working on getting into neurology for the amnesia... god so help me...)
