Not Coping

[outlander]

It’s just to fix a script @Birdofparadise8 or just book in an appt for a weeks time to get scripts renewed etc

[Birdofparadise8]

I'll need to get her to do the referral for inpatient so it has a week or two to process so I can go in @outlander 

[outlander]

Okay @Birdofparadise8 you’ll have to see if they have some spaces

[Birdofparadise8]

That is true, but I don't think it would be too much of an issue it's a big hospital @outlander there are three others I can go to as well if I can get in there.

Hey @outlander 

Seeing how supportive my mum and dad were yesterday about work. I've been thinking tonight I will need to tell them and my aunt and uncle that I'll go back inpatient, and they will probably ask why. So I might tell them what I did. 

Do you have any advice on telling them? The only downside is it would be on my mum's birthday as we are going out for dinner together. 

[outlander]

That’s up to you @Birdofparadise8 they have been supportive of you and your past inpatient treatments.
You could wait till after the birthday dinner. Speak to them the next day or on the phone etc so it’s not at a specific celebration but I would encourage you to speak to them about what your plans are for hospital etc

[Birdofparadise8]

I thought it would be easier telling them all on the one-day @outlander 

I don't want to do it on the phone. 

Safety is a main thing people go to a psych hospital, so I should try and be open with all of them. It's been eating at me for not telling my aunt the other day when were saw each other. 

Yesterday, when I was talking to Mum, I was like, I have some bad news, etc., and I thought to myself, why not give her some more? I obviously didn't tell her. 

They all know I have suicidal thoughts. My uncle and aunt both know I've come close to an attempt before, but not my parents. 

I know it's my choice to tell them, but do you have any advice how how to go about it.

Hi @outlander, @Kyle1, @Birdofparadise8, I hope you are all doing well 💖

[Birdofparadise8]

Hey @creative_writer 

How are you?

[outlander]

I don’t think it’s ever an easy conversation to have @Birdofparadise8
Perhaps tell them how you’ve been feeling, that you haven’t been coping well and then tell them about your attempt. They will probably ask you how so be prepared for that. But also let them know what supports you now have in place and that you would like to go be admitted back to the same hospital as in the past for further help.
