Day by day, you can do this. Ask for help as you have been doing. Everyone is here for you. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2911044 Sun, 01 Mar 2020 23:27:45 +0000 ALV91711 2911044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: Glad to hear things are getting better. Progress is always good. In hope things continue to get better and remember we are all here for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2911037 Sun, 01 Mar 2020 22:38:29 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2911037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALV91711: thank you so much for checking in... I’ve been doing a little better. I’m in an intensive outpatient program 3 days a week. I think it’s helping. I’m still isolating a lot and staying in bed when I shouldn’t. But, I haven’t been having suicidal thoughts. I can’t wait to feel back to normal again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2911012 Sat, 29 Feb 2020 16:03:13 +0000 ALV91711 2911012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: was thinking of you. Just wanted to pop in and check how you are doing? Hope everything is ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2910166 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 16:33:49 +0000 yellowbeach 2910166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I'm sorry that I am just now seeing this thread as I've been overseas for 2 weeks. But as an ER doctor, I just wanted to echo others and tell you that YOU are the reason I go to work every day. To help people like you who are in a tough place, struggling and feeling like they have few options and little support. Going to the ER for these feelings is absolutely appropriate and not an overreaction. Unlike an OB, as ER doc can be a quarterback to lead multiple team members (Psychiatry, OB) into the mix and formulate a plan that's safe for you and helps maintain a safe pregnancy. There are MANY options. I see at least 2-3 patients a month who are pregnant and struggling with severe mental health issues and suicidality. We want to help you, so please take that first step. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909407 Fri, 31 Jan 2020 21:16:13 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2909407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: I’d love to be able to contact you.. you can text me. 541-337-7724 thank you! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909402 Fri, 31 Jan 2020 19:17:49 +0000 Ms. RV 2909402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I have been going back and forth on whether or not to reply, and finally decided I wanted to. The last part of my last pregnancy, I had very serious suicidal ideations. The only thing that kept me going was the little life growing inside of me.. I couldn't deny him a life. I wanted to tell you that after giving birth it got so much easier. Instantly, I stopped thinking my family would be better off without me. I forgot I had those thoughts until my therapist brought them up. I know firsthand that what you are going through is the hardest thing ever but please know you probably just have to make it through a few more weeks to feel better. I know it is so scary to feel what you are feeling. Please, if you want my cell number or e-mail just let me know. </p> <p>You are also so brave for being able to admit how you are feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909386 Fri, 31 Jan 2020 14:43:11 +0000 QBbride 2909386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: still thinking of you :heart: I hope you’re able to get the support you need (and deserve!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909277 Thu, 30 Jan 2020 09:17:16 +0000 Litebrite 2909277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: thinking of you :heart: I hope you are getting the help you deserve in this hard time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909259 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 17:15:27 +0000 Anonymous12345 2909259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MeAgain: You did the right thing. Thank you for reaching out in real life. Other people were contacted as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909257 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 16:07:57 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2909257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MeAgain: thank you for caring so much .. I really do appreciate it. And you’re right, a little drama is nothing compared to not saying anything and then learning the person committed suicide. So, thank you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909256 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 14:08:55 +0000 ALV91711 2909256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: Glad you are going to talk to someone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909255 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 13:52:04 +0000 gotkimchi 2909255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MeAgain: I actually had made a post yesterday that must have been eaten asking if anyone knew her in real life to make sure she was ok so I don’t think you’re off base</p> <p>@CatchAFallingStar: Mental health is serious. People die from suicide every day and I would feel terrible if something happened to you. I so desperately hope you get help and find peace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909254 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 13:40:21 +0000 MeAgain 2909254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: That was me. And I told him it was me. Not sure if he relayed that to you. I also gave him my personal cell phone number so you could call me or text me if you needed it. </p> <p>And while I feel bad if it caused some drama, I don’t regret it, because posting that you are suicidal is not something to take lightly. You told the entire internet that you are feeling suicidal and then disappeared for a day at a time making all of us wonder if you harmed yourself.<br /> I would do it again in a heartbeat because I do care about you, and saying nothing could do a lot more harm than saying something. </p> <p>Here’s a story. A few years back there was a gas leak in NYC, where I live. Several people smelled it up to 24 hours before. SEVERAL. But stayed silent for fear of sounding like a crazy person or didn’t trust their instincts or fear of reporting a false alarm. EIGHT PEOPLE DIED. It was a massive gas leak that caused an explosion that leveled two apartment buildings. 70+ were injured. It was a tragedy.<br /> So I’m sorry but when someone says they feel suicidal and their posts have become increasingly concerning over several months, I’m going to say something. I could not live with myself if I had the thought “I should contact her family” and decided “nah, it might be a false alarm”. And then you harmed yourself. </p> <p>My cousin also died of suicide less than a year ago. So yeah, I’m going to say something. </p> <p>I will now back off since that’s clearly not what you wanted. But I don’t regret it. I hope you do find what you need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909252 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 12:52:49 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2909252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all. I’m hanging in there. Still having obsessive thoughts (fear of breast cancer is my obsession). I’m seeing a therapist today. Hoping it helps a little.</p> <p>On a different note, someone here found and wrote to my dad on Facebook. This caused a lot of additional stress for me. Please let me handle my family in my own way. I’m posting here because I need anonymous support. Thank you :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909250 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 12:28:09 +0000 ALV91711 2909250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: Just want to say good morning and send some more love.

Induction is NOT the only option. You need inpatient help immediately. You are so loved. Reach out to whoever will listen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909202 Tue, 28 Jan 2020 14:04:59 +0000 charleysmom 2909202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m so sorry you are going through this but please know you don’t have to do it alone- there is help out there. I know when you’re stuck in the darkness that it’s difficult to see the light but please trust that’s it’s there. ❤️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909195 Tue, 28 Jan 2020 12:49:29 +0000 MrsSCB 2909195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to send more love and support. Is your husband aware of how serious this is? I wish we could all be there to hold you up in person and help you get the support you need and deserve. I know you're in a very dark place right now, but it can get better, it will get better. Please, please consider seeking inpatient treatment, sharing the full measure of how bad things are with your OB. And even if you don't quite believe it, keep telling yourself you have so much to give, so much to live for, you are loved, you are important and valued, and things WILL get better. It may feel impossible or far away, but it's the truth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induction-for-severe-anxietydepression-and-suicidal-thoughts/page/2#post-2909191 Tue, 28 Jan 2020 12:08:56 +0000 LindsayInNY 2909191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sending love.

Listen, do you want to put your husband on here? I know that seems silly, but mental illness can be overwhelming and maybe he doesn’t understand how bad it is for you right now. There are a lot of options for you that don’t involve induction. I’ve talked about it before, but I have a sister with schizophrenia and anxiety and depression and she’s been doing really well the last 4-5 years because she’s found treatments that work. But she’s also done inpatient treatment several different times at a few different places and they were all good experiences (well, except the time she was involuntarily committed to the psych ward of the county jail system). You can absolutely check in to a hospital or private mental health facility for a few days-week to get stable. There is no shame in that, and your husband can take FMLA to care for your kids while you go. I have had coworkers do it. My sister has done it. THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT and it’s not something that’s happening because of any choice you’ve made. It’s like any illness, but you now have to go and get it treated. </p> <p>If you want to PM me your exact location, I will research for you and find you some options for him or you to call. Don’t be scared—-these places are there to help you. </p>
