[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 572013, member: 1550"] Hi, Janet. Middle of the night. Can't stay up, can't sleep. There is no other Head Start here...small town. And if t here were, what kind of reference would I get? Thanks for being so kind. Really, I just want to sleep so I don't think about what a failure I've been. I feel very alone in this small town. I wonder how long this horrible feeling will last. It's like another big rejection. Every time I think about it, I just want to....do something....to myself. Exaggerated, maybe, but this is the hell of mental illness. I have been stable for sooooo long, but when something like this happens (and worse things can happen), the medications, the therapy, everything goes down the drain and I'm just stuck with the mental illness. And I won't go to ER. I won't go in any hospital again. Most of the time they hurt more than help; t hey treat the patients like belligerant children...at least that is my experience. And I can't get a professional to see me for a long time unless I go to ER. It's so screwed up. This could easily devolve into a "mental health care hoovers" discussion. I wish one of you were close to me. Or close enough to visit. I really need a friend who understands. And nobody does. They're saying "It's not a big deal." Maybe it's not. But when you have a mental illness (or two), yeah, it can be. You never know what is going to push you over the edge. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
