i am under so much stress. all i can think about is going out and getting a big bottle of Tylenol PM (which i am allergic to) and just downing the whole thing. I was distracted with creating my wbsite for 3 days, but now i have nothing to do but sit and think. bad thoughts. should i just take enough Klonopin to knock me out or should i check myself into the hospital again? i can't decide. i really don't want to kill myself--i just want the suffering to end. i always feel better after i get out of the hospital. but i need to get a lot of paperwork done next week so i don't get evicted or the electric turned off. but my boyfriend could handle all that if i did go to the hospital. i am just a control freak. i don't trust that he would get it all done. i don't know what to do...

I am sorry that you are having such a hard time. Nobody can decide for you whether to go to the hospital, but if you are going to hurt yourself you should call your therapist. I never felt better after leaving the hospital, only worse and scared about the fact that I had been so bad that I had to be admitted to the mental hospital. But, I can understand the comfort of being admitted. For me, it made me feel in control.
Whatever choice you make, i wish you well.

i have decided to go. i am so scared. i always am when i go to the hospital. doesn't really make a lot of sense, because i am supposed to be safer there than on my own but still, the loss of control terrifies me each time.

well, I'm back from the hospital. it took me 6 days to work through what i needed to work through. but i am feeling rather empty at the moment. but that is ok, i think. no thoughts if suicide, just a few of self harm, but i am not going to cut even though i feel like it. maybe i should have remained a few more days. i am not sure...

I'm glad you're feeling better, if not precisely well. Do you have support in the community? A therapist etc? They can help you work on well.
