Thinking about going to the hospital...

I am wondering if I should go to the hospital... It's impossible to go see my psychiatrist (it seriously takes about 8 weeks to get in to see him).  I've seen a doctor at Student Health out of desperation, but the meds she's given me don't work and like I have mentioned before, they make me gain weight.  : ( 

So I'm currently unmedicated, and it's not going well.  I went on a 4 day drug binge (I HAD been drug-free for a week short of 2 years and being in recovery was a huge part of my identity; I've currently been clean for about 40 days). 

  I'm not suicidal and I haven't hurt myself or anything, but I'm really depressed and it's hard to do anything... it's hard to go to bed... it's hard to get up in the morning, it's hard to get my homework/projects done, it's hard to get to class, it's hard to shower and primp, it's hard to call my friends because I feel like a drag. 

I don't trust the doctor from Student Health, and I can't get an appointment with my psychiatrist for 8 weeks unless I'm admitted.  Should I go????????  Please advise...

Hi there and yes by all means go to the hospital, be sure to let them know you resorted to using drugs and that you have fears of relapsing again.

The other thing I would check on ...........does your own Pdoc have openings for emergency situations as yours seems to be?  Usually they can juggle the schedule for an established patient. Just a thought.  Your Pdoc may not realize how bad off you are right now. Either way seek help and don't hesitate.  We are here for you and will await your next post.  Gentle Hugs, Kitt
