Hospital Stay

*Like-A-Kitty Jul 25, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

Hey there! I'm in a hospital since yesterday and have to stay here for 4 weeks (depression, kind of social anxiety). I couldn't sleep the entire night and had panic attacks and couldn't stop crying. I miss my family and my friends so much... I wish I could go back home.

I don't have anybody to talk to and I'm too shy to go to someone and just talk to them.

Anyone here had the same or a similiar problem?
What would you do in a situation like this?

I have no idea what to do now

Social anxeity ? I suffer from this also badly. Didn't know it could get that bad.

Can you talk to your friends in the hospital on msn or Skype ? When do you get out?

Well, I'm sure your family will visit you and you're probably allowed to leave the hospital for weekends if you aren't a danger to yourself or other people. Get a few good books, draw something and remember you are there to get help. I felt just the same for the first few days of my three month visit to the psych ward. You'll be fine, I'm sure.

I can't relate to your problem, but I suggest you ask your parents to get you some good books to read, and a sketchbook and drawing supplies. People often resort to reading and creating art when they're in isolation, and I suppose your therapist might even encourage that you express yourself that way.

You do have someone to talk to though, the doctors. What you're experiencing sounds like part of the reason why you're there so keeping how your feeling to yourself would be counterproductive. And it's not like they don't know why you're there so it's nothing for you to be ashamed of bringing up at all. Take advantage of the resources available to you now and hopefully it will help you on the way to resolving those things.

Thanks for your answer

Yea I already talked to one of my therapists and I'm feeling much better now. I hope things will get better just have to work on it.

First of all, don't worry. Or at least try not to worry. Your family will visit you very often, believe me. As for your friends, you'll see them soon enough as well. As for the panic attacks and crying, I guess that's normal in a first day of being in a new place alone. The thing you need to do is try to get used to it, and surpress the feeling with something. Like, call your friend, or someone from your family (I take it you are able to). Hell, you can even ask them to come, I'm sure they will understand. In the meantime, cause it can be boring, you can get yourself a book/something like this.

<if you want to talk, PM me, I'm always glad to talk to someone ^^>

Thank you

Yea I already called them and I asked my therapist if it would be ok when I visit my family at the weekends and she said she has to discuss that with the other therapists but since I don't have an eating disorder it would be ok.
